Metallics J1531 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a 3/16 inch toggle bolt hold in hollow drywall or a concrete block cavity?
That is exactly what a spring wing toggle is for. The wings fold flat to pass through a drilled hole, then spring open against the back face of the hollow material and spread the load. A 3/16 inch #10 toggle like the J1531 is the common size electricians use for hanging boxes, strut, conduit straps and light fixtures on hollow drywall, plaster or hollow block. It is not an anchor for solid concrete, where there is no cavity for the wings to open into.
2) What size hole do I drill for a 3/16 inch spring wing toggle bolt?
A 3/16 inch toggle needs about a 1/2 inch hole, because the hole has to pass the folded wings, not just the screw. Drill it, push the folded wings through until you hear them snap open, then pull back on the fixture while you tighten so the wings seat flat on the back of the wall.
3) Is a toggle bolt or a plastic drywall anchor better for hanging an electrical box or fixture?
Pick the toggle when the load matters. A plastic expansion anchor only grips the thin face paper and gypsum, so it works for low-weight items. The spring wing toggle spans the cavity and bears against the full back face of the board, which is why a 3/16 inch #10 toggle is the usual choice for fixtures, strut and conduit support. Trade-off: the toggle needs a hole big enough to pass the wings, and if you ever remove the screw the wings drop inside the wall and are gone.
4) How many toggle bolts come in the Metallics J1531 jar?
Fifty per jar. The jar pack is meant for a van or shop shelf where you are pulling a few at a time across jobs rather than buying a single fastener, and it keeps the loose wings and screws together.
5) What is the Metallics part number for the 3/16 inch #10 x 2 inch spring wing toggle bolt?
Metallics J1531. That number covers the 3/16 inch (#10) by 2 inch spring wing toggle bolt in the 50 piece jar, so it is the one to quote or reorder against.
