Metallics ZSA1K – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do the Metallics ZSA1K wall anchors need a pilot hole drilled first?
No. The ZSA1K is a self-drilling drywall anchor kit, so the anchor bores its own hole in hollow gypsum board. You drive it in with a #2 Phillips screwdriver or a driver on low torque until the flange sits flush with the wall face, then run the included #8 x 1-1/4 screw into it. Self-drilling anchors are for hollow drywall only, not for solid masonry, plaster over lath, or concrete.
2) Does the Metallics ZSA1K anchor kit come with the screws, or do I order those separately?
Screws are included. ZSA1K is sold as a kit, pairing the self-drilling wall anchors with #8 x 1-1/4 inch screws, so there is nothing else to buy to hang the item. It ships as a box of 50.
3) Can I use the Metallics ZSA1K anchors to mount electrical boxes and conduit straps on drywall?
That is what they are stocked for. Metallics catalogs the ZSA1K anchor kit as electrical fastening hardware, and electricians use self-drilling drywall anchors of this size for light work: low-voltage brackets, conduit straps on hollow wall, cover plates, and small enclosures. For anything carrying real weight or subject to pull-out, land the fastener in a stud or a structural backing instead.
4) How thick a wall do #8 x 1-1/4 self-drilling anchors like the ZSA1K work in?
They are sized for standard 1/2 inch drywall, and they also work in 5/8 inch board. The anchor body has to fully penetrate the panel and leave hollow space behind the wall for the screw, so they will not work where the drywall is backed solid by a stud, plywood, or furring. If you hit a stud, skip the anchor and drive the #8 x 1-1/4 screw straight in.
5) What does the Z mean in the Metallics ZSA1K wall anchor kit description?
Z is the zinc finish. The anchors and screws in the ZSA1K kit are zinc plated, which is a standard interior-use coating. Keep them to dry interior walls; zinc plating is not a corrosion finish for exterior or damp locations.
6) How many anchors are in a box of the Metallics ZSA1K?
Fifty, packed as a box. Each anchor is matched with a #8 x 1-1/4 screw, so a single box covers 50 mounting points, which is why crews buy it as a truck-stock kit rather than counting out loose anchors and screws on the job.
