Metallics J1565 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can I use a 3/16 inch spring wing toggle bolt to hang a box or fixture on hollow drywall?
That is exactly what a spring wing toggle is for. The wings fold flat to pass through the wall, then spring open behind it and bear against the back face, so the load is carried by the wall panel rather than by friction in the hole. The J1565 is a 3/16 inch, #10 toggle with a 4 inch bolt, which suits mounting boxes, straps, raceway and light fixtures on drywall, plaster or hollow block. You do need open cavity space behind the wall for the wings to swing; in a solid or fully packed wall, use a masonry or sleeve anchor instead.
2) What size hole do I need to drill for a 3/16 inch spring wing toggle bolt?
The hole has to clear the folded wings, not just the bolt, so it is considerably larger than 3/16 inch. For a 3/16 inch spring wing toggle such as the Metallics J1565, that is a 1/2 inch hole in the wall material. Drill it before you assemble the toggle, because once the wings pass through they cannot be pulled back out without losing the channel nut inside the cavity.
3) What size toggle bolt is the Metallics J1565, and how many come in a jar?
The J1565 is a 3/16 inch spring wing toggle bolt, #10 size, with a 4 inch bolt length, packed 50 per jar. The jar pack is the quantity an electrician or maintenance tech buys for repeat hollow-wall mounting work rather than a single fastening.
4) Will a #10 toggle bolt thread into standard electrical box and strut hardware?
The #10 machine thread on the J1565 is the common size for device and fixture mounting hardware, so it passes through standard strap, bracket and box mounting slots. Keep in mind the channel nut is captive on the bolt once installed: you have to pass the bolt through the item you are mounting before you spin the wings on, or the toggle will drop into the cavity when you remove the bolt.
5) Should I use a spring wing toggle or a self-drilling drywall anchor?
Different jobs. A self-drilling plastic or zinc anchor grips the drywall around the hole and installs with a screwdriver, which is fine for light items but limited in pull-out strength. A spring wing toggle like the Metallics J1565 spreads the load across the back of the panel, so it is the choice for anything with real weight or vibration, such as fixtures, boxes and raceway runs. The trade-off is the 1/2 inch hole and the need for open cavity behind the wall. Where there is no cavity, neither one applies and you move to a masonry anchor.
6) What is the Metallics part number for the 3/16 inch by 4 inch spring wing toggle bolt?
Order it as Metallics J1565. That number covers the 3/16 inch, #10 spring wing toggle bolt with a 4 inch bolt, supplied in a 50 piece jar.
