Metallics J1560 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size screw and length is the Metallics J1560 toggle bolt?
The J1560 spring wing toggle bolt is a 1/8 inch (#6) size with a 2 inch bolt length, sold in a jar of 50. The 2 inch length is the usable bolt, so it covers the wall thickness plus the fixture being hung, not the depth of the cavity behind it.
2) Will a 1/8 inch spring wing toggle bolt work in hollow drywall or a hollow block wall?
Yes, that is what a spring wing toggle is for. The wings fold flat to pass through a hole in a hollow wall, then spring open behind it and clamp against the back face as you tighten. It needs a genuine void behind the surface, so drywall, lath and plaster, hollow block or hollow metal panels all work. In solid concrete or solid brick there is nothing for the wings to open into, and you want a sleeve or wedge anchor instead.
3) What size hole do I drill for the Metallics J1560 toggle?
The hole has to be big enough for the folded wings to pass, not just the 1/8 inch bolt. For a 1/8 inch spring wing toggle that is normally a 1/2 inch hole. Drill it, pinch the wings closed, push the toggle through until you feel it snap open, then draw the fixture tight.
4) Can I reuse a toggle bolt if I take the fixture back off?
No. Once you back the bolt out of a spring wing toggle, the wing assembly drops into the wall cavity and is gone. Plan on one toggle per hole, which is why these ship 50 to a jar for electrical work where you are setting a run of boxes, straps or fixtures.
5) What are these Metallics toggle bolts typically used for on an electrical job?
Metallics J1560 is an electrical-trade anchor, used for hanging boxes, device plates, conduit straps, raceway, small enclosures and light fixtures on hollow walls and ceilings where there is no stud or joist to hit. The #6 size suits light to moderate loads rather than heavy equipment.
6) Is the Metallics J1560 the right part number to reorder?
Yes, J1560 is the Metallics manufacturer part number for the 1/8 inch (#6) by 2 inch spring wing toggle bolt in the 50 piece jar. Order by that number and you get the same anchor every time, which keeps a service truck standardized.
