Metallics JELR2 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What screw size does the Metallics JELR2 red nylon expansion anchor take?
The JELR2 is a #8 x 1-1/2 inch red nylon expansion anchor, so it is sized for a #8 sheet metal or wood screw at a 1-1/2 inch embedment. Driving the screw expands the nylon sleeve against the hole wall. Oversized screws split the sleeve, undersized ones will not expand it enough to hold.
2) Can I use a nylon expansion anchor like the JELR2 in drywall, or do I need something else?
Nylon expansion anchors are made for solid base material - concrete, block, brick, or mortar joints - where the sleeve has something firm to compress against. In hollow drywall there is nothing to grip and the anchor will spin or pull through. For a hollow gypsum wall use a toggle or a self-drilling drywall anchor instead.
3) How many anchors come in a jar of Metallics JELR2?
Each jar holds 100 of the #8 x 1-1/2 inch red nylon anchors. The jar pack is what you want on a service truck for repeat small-fastener work, since it reseals and keeps the anchors from scattering in a bin.
4) Is the screw included with the Metallics JELR2 anchors?
The jar of 100 contains the red nylon anchors only. You supply the #8 screws, and the length needs to cover the fixture thickness plus the 1-1/2 inch anchor depth.
5) What are red nylon anchors used for on electrical work?
They are the standard light-duty masonry fastener for mounting boxes, straps, conduit clips, raceway, and small enclosures to concrete or block. Metallics catalogs the JELR2 with its electrical supplies line, and the #8 x 1-1/2 size covers most box and strap mounting.
6) Will a nylon anchor corrode in a damp or exterior location?
The anchor body is nylon, so the sleeve itself does not rust, which is why these get used in damp block walls and exterior masonry. Corrosion resistance then comes down to the screw you pair with it, so use a stainless or coated screw outdoors.
7) How do I order the right Metallics red nylon anchor - what is the part number?
Order by model JELR2. That designation is the #8 x 1-1/2 inch red nylon expansion anchor in the 100-count jar; there is nothing else to specify on it.
