Metallics J1501 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size toggle bolt is the Metallics J1501, and how long is the screw?
The J1501 is a spring wing toggle bolt in 1/8 inch diameter with a #6-32 thread and a 2 inch screw length. The 2 inch length covers the thickness of the material you are fastening through plus the travel needed for the wings to clear the back side and snap open.
2) Can I use a spring wing toggle bolt to hang an electrical box or strut on hollow drywall?
That is exactly what a spring wing toggle is for. The spring wings fold flat to pass through a drilled hole, then open behind the wall and spread the load across the back of the panel, so you get a usable pull-out value in hollow drywall, plaster, or hollow block where a plain screw anchor has nothing to grip. The J1501 uses a #6-32 machine screw, which suits lighter loads like device boxes, conduit straps, raceway, and small fixtures rather than heavy equipment.
3) Will a 1/8 inch toggle bolt work in a solid concrete or brick wall?
No. The J1501 is a spring wing toggle and needs an open cavity behind the wall for the wings to spring apart. In solid concrete, brick, or grout-filled block, use a sleeve anchor, wedge anchor, or a screw-type masonry anchor instead. Hollow block with an open cell is fine, provided you drill into the void and not the web.
4) How many toggle bolts come in a jar of Metallics J1501?
Fifty assemblies per jar. The pack type is a jar rather than a bulk box, which is what electricians and maintenance techs tend to want on the truck for repeat drywall and hollow block work.
5) Do toggle bolts come back out if I need to remove the fixture?
The screw backs out, but the wings do not. Once you withdraw the #6-32 screw from a J1501, the spring wings drop inside the wall cavity and are lost, so plan on a fresh toggle for any re-install. If you expect to remove and refit the item repeatedly, a threaded wall anchor that stays captive in the board is the better choice.
6) What size hole do I drill for a 1/8 inch spring wing toggle bolt?
Drill big enough for the folded wings to pass, not for the 1/8 inch screw shank. The wings on a toggle are considerably wider than the bolt, so the hole is sized off the toggle body, and once the wings are through you pull back on the screw to seat them flat against the inside face before tightening. Test-fold one of the 50 in the jar against your bit before you drill the wall.
7) Is the 2 inch length on the J1501 the screw length or the total assembly?
The 2 inch figure is the screw length on this 1/8 inch, #6-32 spring wing toggle. Usable grip is that 2 inches minus whatever the wings need to clear the back of the panel, so for thicker build-ups (double layer board, a mounting plate stacked on finish) step up to a longer screw rather than forcing this one.
