Metallics J1553 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What size hardware does a 1/4-20 toggle bolt thread into?
The Metallics spring wing toggle bolt is a 1/4 inch bolt with 20 threads per inch, so it mates with standard 1/4-20 nuts, fixture straps, and mounting hardware. That is the common coarse thread on strut hardware, fixture hangers and box mounting straps, so it drops straight into most electrical mounting accessories without an adapter.
2) Will a toggle bolt work if there is no clearance behind the wall?
No. Spring wing toggles need open cavity space behind the board for the wings to swing fully open. If there is blocking, insulation packed tight, a second layer of board, or a stud directly behind the hole, the wings cannot deploy and the anchor will not hold. In those spots either hit the stud with a wood screw or switch to an anchor that works in a blind hole.
3) Can I reuse a spring wing toggle bolt if I have to take the fixture down?
No. Once the bolt backs out, the wings drop off inside the wall cavity and are gone. Plan on a fresh toggle for any remount, which is part of why these ship 100 to a jar. If the fixture will come off and go back repeatedly, use a threaded anchor that stays in the wall rather than a spring wing toggle.
4) Is a toggle bolt the right anchor for a hollow wall, or should I use a plastic anchor or a self-drilling anchor?
For anything with real weight or pull-out load in a hollow wall, the spring wing toggle is the choice: the wings spread the load across a wide area of the back face of the board rather than gripping the small ring of drywall around the hole, which is all a plastic or self-drilling anchor does. The trade-off is that a toggle needs a hole big enough to pass the folded wings through, and it cannot be removed and reused. Use plastic or self-drill anchors for light trim and small plates; use the toggle for boxes, brackets, panels and fixtures.
5) Are these toggle bolts suitable for mounting electrical boxes and light fixtures on drywall?
That is the primary use. Metallics lists them for outlet and switch boxes, junction boxes, light fixtures, brackets, control enclosures and panel mounting in hollow wall construction. The 1/4-20 thread matches typical fixture strap hardware, and they come 100 per jar for crews doing repeat installs across a building.
6) How do I install a spring wing toggle so it does not spin in the hole?
Drill the hole, fold the wings flat against the bolt and push the assembly through until the wings snap open in the cavity. Then pull back on the bolt to seat the wings hard against the back face of the board and keep tension on it while you drive. Losing that outward pull is what makes the toggle spin instead of tighten. Have your fixture or bracket already on the bolt before it goes through the wall, because the wings cannot come back out.
7) What driver do I need for the Metallics J1553 toggle bolt?
Model J1553 has a combination slotted and Phillips head, so either a flat blade or a Phillips driver works. Useful on a ladder when you only have one bit in the gun.
