Metallics J1524 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size toggle bolt is the Metallics J1524?
The J1524 is a spring wing toggle bolt with a 1/2 inch diameter machine screw, 13 threads per inch, and a 5 inch screw length, with a round head and slotted drive. The 1/2-13 thread and 5 inch length are what you match when you are replacing an existing toggle or sizing for a thick hollow substrate.
2) Will a 1/2-13 x 5 inch spring wing toggle bolt work in my hollow block or drywall ceiling?
Spring wing toggles like the J1524 are made for hollow substrates: drywall, plaster, hollow block, and hollow metal. You drill a hole large enough to pass the folded wings through, push them into the cavity so they spring open against the back face, then tighten the 1/2-13 screw to clamp the fixture. The 5 inch screw length means it suits thicker build-ups, but the wings still need an open cavity behind the wall to unfold in. In solid concrete or grout-filled block, use a wedge or sleeve anchor instead.
3) How many toggle bolts come in a jar of Metallics J1524?
Ten toggle bolts per jar, and the jar is the pack format, so one order unit gets you 10 complete 1/2-13 x 5 inch spring wing toggles. Plan quantities in tens when you are hanging multiple strut runs or fixtures.
4) Does the J1524 toggle bolt come with the wing and the screw together, or do I order them separately?
Each J1524 is a complete assembly, screw plus spring wing toggle, so nothing else needs ordering to make the anchor work. You supply the drill bit and the fixture hardware. Note the wings are not reusable once dropped into the cavity, so if you remove the screw, the toggle falls inside the wall and you consume another unit.
5) Can I use these toggle bolts for electrical work, like hanging strut or a junction box?
The J1524 is catalogued on the electrical side of the line and is the kind of heavy anchor used for supporting strut, raceway, boxes, and fixtures off hollow walls and ceilings. At 1/2-13 with a 5 inch screw it is a large toggle, well beyond what a small device box needs, so it is aimed at heavier suspended loads rather than light trim work.
6) What is the manufacturer part number for this Metallics toggle bolt?
Metallics part number J1524. That is the number to quote for the 1/2-13 x 5 inch round head slotted spring wing toggle bolt supplied 10 to a jar.
