Metallics J1545 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size toggle bolt is the Metallics J1545?
The J1545 is a spring wing toggle bolt with a 3/8 inch diameter machine screw thread, 16 threads per inch, and a 4 inch bolt length. The 4 inch length is what you have to work with: it has to pass through the material you're fastening plus the wall thickness, and still leave enough thread for the toggle wings to spring open and seat on the back side.
2) Can I use a 3/8 inch spring wing toggle bolt to hang a strut channel or heavy conduit run off drywall or a hollow block wall?
That's exactly what a 3/8-16 toggle like the Metallics J1545 is for. Spring wing toggles work in hollow bases: you drill a hole large enough for the folded wings to pass, push them through, and the spring snaps them open behind the sheet so the load spreads across the back face instead of bearing on the hole edge. For solid concrete or filled block, a toggle is the wrong choice because there is no cavity for the wings to open into. Use a wedge or sleeve anchor there.
3) How many toggle bolts come in a jar of Metallics J1545?
Each jar holds 25 of the 3/8-16 x 4 inch spring wing toggle bolts. The jar pack is the usual way these move for service trucks and MRO shelves, so you get bolts and wings together rather than counting loose pieces out of a bin.
4) Do I need a bigger drill bit than 3/8 inch for these toggle bolts?
Yes. The hole is sized for the folded wing assembly, not the 3/8 inch screw, so it is noticeably larger than the bolt diameter. Fold the wings flat against the bolt and use that as your gauge before you drill. The other thing to plan for: once the wings are through, they stay in the cavity. Back the bolt all the way out and the toggle drops inside the wall, so thread the fastened item onto the bolt before you set it.
5) Is the J1545 the same thread as a standard 3/8-16 machine screw?
Yes, 3/8-16 is standard coarse machine screw thread, so the bolt takes common 3/8-16 nuts, couplings and threaded accessories if you need to adapt the connection. Ordering by the Metallics part number J1545 gets you the 4 inch length in that thread.
