Metallics J1528 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size toggle bolt is the Metallics J1528, and what thread does it take?
The J1528 is a 1/8 inch spring wing toggle bolt with a #6-32 machine screw thread and a 2 inch screw length. That combination is what you match when you are replacing a toggle in an existing hole, since the wing size and the thread have to agree.
2) Will a 2 inch toggle bolt be long enough for 1/2 inch drywall?
Yes. With a 2 inch screw and a 1/8 inch spring wing toggle, you have enough length to pass through 1/2 or 5/8 inch gypsum board plus the thickness of whatever you are hanging and still let the wings swing open behind the wall. The limit is grip length, not wall depth: the fixture plus wall has to be thinner than the screw, so stacking a thick bracket on double layer board is where you would step up.
3) Can I use a spring wing toggle bolt in a solid concrete or block wall?
No. A spring wing toggle only works in hollow construction, because the wings have to spring open in the cavity behind the board to grip. For concrete, block, or brick you want a masonry anchor such as a sleeve or wedge anchor instead. Use the J1528 for drywall, plaster, hollow block face, and hollow metal door or panel work.
4) How many toggle bolts come in a jar of Metallics J1528?
Fifty pieces per jar. Metallics packs the J1528 toggle bolts in a jar rather than a box, which is why electricians keep one on the van for box and bracket mounting in hollow wall.
5) Do I need to drill a hole for the J1528 toggle bolt, and can it be reused?
Yes, you drill a hole large enough for the folded wings to pass through, then thread the channel onto the #6-32 screw with the wings pointing toward the screw head and push the assembly through. Once set, the toggle is captive behind the wall. If you back the screw all the way out, the wing channel drops into the cavity and is gone, so plan on a fresh toggle rather than reusing the one in the wall.
6) What is the part number to order the Metallics 1/8 inch #6-32 toggle bolt?
Order Metallics J1528. That part number covers the 1/8 inch spring wing toggle bolt with a #6-32 thread and a 2 inch length, supplied 50 to a jar.
