Metallics J1515 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size toggle bolt is the Metallics J1515, and how long is the screw?
The J1515 is a spring wing toggle bolt with a 5/16-18 thread and a 3 inch screw length, with a round head driven by a slotted bit. The 3 inch length is what determines how thick a wall or ceiling you can go through: the screw has to pass the full material thickness plus leave room for the wings to swing open behind it.
2) Will a 5/16-18 x 3 inch toggle bolt work in hollow drywall or a block ceiling?
Spring wing toggles like the J1515 are made for hollow materials: drywall, hollow block, plaster and lath, hollow metal. You drill a hole large enough for the folded wings to pass, push them through, and the spring opens them flat against the back face so the load spreads across the panel. In solid concrete or solid block there is no cavity for the wings to open, so a toggle is the wrong anchor there, use a sleeve, wedge, or screw anchor instead.
3) How many toggle bolts come in a jar of Metallics J1515?
Each jar holds 25 of the 5/16-18 x 3 inch spring wing toggles, wings and bolts together. The jar pack is the usual way electrical and MRO crews buy these, since you typically burn several per hanger or strut run and the wings are not reusable once the assembly is pulled back out of the wall.
4) What are 5/16 inch spring wing toggle bolts typically used for on an electrical job?
A 5/16-18 toggle is the heavier end of the toggle range, used for hanging things off hollow walls and ceilings that a 1/8 or 3/16 toggle will not carry: strut, cable tray drops, larger junction and pull boxes, fixture hangers, conduit support brackets. The J1515 is catalogued by Metallics as electrical fastening hardware, and the round slotted head seats flat against a bracket or strut channel.
5) Can I remove and reuse the J1515 toggle bolt later?
No. Once the spring wings on a toggle bolt are pushed through the wall and expanded, backing the 5/16-18 bolt out drops the wing assembly into the cavity and it cannot be retrieved. Plan on a fresh toggle for any remount, which is why these ship 25 to a jar.
6) Do I need a special driver for the Metallics J1515 toggle bolt?
No specialty bit needed. The J1515 uses a round head with a slotted drive, so a standard flat blade screwdriver or a slotted bit in a drill driver sets it. Go easy on the speed at the end of the run, since overdriving a toggle in drywall crushes the paper face and loses the clamp.
