Metallics J1563 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size spring wing toggle bolt is the Metallics J1563, and how many come in a jar?
The Metallics J1563 is a spring wing toggle bolt sized 3/16 inch with a #10 screw and a 2 inch length. It ships as a jar of 50, so it is a bulk pack for crews doing repeat hollow-wall anchoring rather than a single-piece item.
2) Will a 2 inch toggle bolt work in my drywall, or do I need a longer one?
The 2 inch length on the J1563 covers the fixture being mounted plus the wall thickness, so it suits typical 1/2 inch or 5/8 inch drywall with a thin bracket or box behind it. Spring wing toggles need open cavity behind the board for the wings to snap out, so they are for hollow walls and ceilings only, not solid masonry. If you are stacking thick plywood backing or a deep enclosure on the surface, step up to a longer toggle so the wings can still clear the back of the board and spring open.
3) Can I use the Metallics J1563 toggle bolts to hang electrical boxes and conduit straps from a drywall ceiling?
That is exactly the application the J1563 is stocked for. It is an electrical fastener, a spring wing toggle in 3/16 inch with a #10 machine screw, sold 50 to a jar for hanging boxes, straps, raceway, and small fixtures off hollow drywall or plaster ceilings and walls. The wings spread inside the cavity and bear against the back of the board, which is what gives a toggle far more pull-out resistance than a plastic plug in the same hole.
4) What size hole do I drill for a 3/16 inch spring wing toggle bolt?
The wings on a 3/16 inch toggle fold flat along the bolt, and the drilled hole has to be large enough to pass that folded assembly through the board, not just the bolt shank. On the J1563 that means a hole sized to the folded wing, roughly 1/2 inch, drilled where there is clear cavity behind. Check the folded wing against your bit before you drill the finish surface, since an undersized hole is the usual reason a toggle will not seat.
5) Is a spring wing toggle bolt reusable if I take the fixture down?
No. Once the J1563 is set, the wings sit loose in the wall cavity, so backing the #10 screw all the way out drops them behind the board and you lose the anchor. Plan on a fresh toggle for any remount, which is why these come 50 to a jar. If you need an anchor you can remove and reinstall in the same hole, look at a strap toggle or a threaded hollow wall anchor instead.
6) Is the Metallics J1563 ordered as individual pieces or only by the jar?
It is a jar pack of 50 under part number J1563, so the order unit is the jar, not the piece. One model is offered on the 3/16 inch #10 by 2 inch size, so there is no finish or length to select when you order.
