Metallics J1509 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can I use a spring wing toggle bolt to hang a light fixture or box on hollow drywall or block?
That is exactly what a spring wing toggle is for. The wings fold against the screw to pass through the hole, then spring open behind the wall and clamp against the back face, so the load bears on a wide area of the sheet instead of on crumbly hole edges. Metallics catalogs the J1509 as an electrical fastener, which is the usual use: fixture hangers, strut, boxes and straps on hollow drywall, plaster and hollow block. It needs clear void space behind the wall for the wings to open.
2) How many toggle bolts come in a jar of Metallics J1509?
Fifty per jar. It ships as a jar pack rather than a loose box, which is how most electrical shops buy anchors for van stock, so you are ordering by the jar, not the piece.
3) What size hole do I drill for a 3/16 inch toggle bolt?
Drill large enough to pass the folded wings, not just the 3/16 inch screw. On a 3/16 inch spring wing toggle that is typically a 5/8 inch hole. Pinch the wings flat and test them in the bit hole before you commit to the wall.
4) Toggle bolt or expansion anchor for mounting into solid concrete?
Use a concrete anchor, not this. A spring wing toggle like the J1509 only works where there is open void behind the material for the wings to swing out. Drill it into solid concrete or filled block and the wings have nowhere to go. Save the toggles for hollow drywall, plaster, hollow block and sheet metal.
5) Is a toggle bolt reusable if I take the fixture back down?
No. Back the #10 screw out of a J1509 and the wings drop into the wall cavity, leaving you with a loose screw and an empty hole. Plan on a fresh toggle for any remount, which is part of why these are bought 50 to a jar.
6) Do I need anything else besides the J1509 to mount a strap or hanger?
Nothing extra on the fastener side. Each J1509 is a complete unit, the spring wing toggle plus the 3/16 inch #10 machine screw. You supply the drill bit sized for the folded wings and, if you want to spread the load on soft plaster, a flat washer under the screw head.
