Metallics WAKZ14 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What exactly comes in the Metallics WAKZ14 combo anchor kit?
The WAKZ14 is two anchor kits packed together: the WAK14 kit of 1/4 inch red plastic wall anchors with #10 x 1 inch pan head sheet metal screws, and the ZSA1K kit of #8 x 1-1/4 inch zinc self-drilling drywall anchors. Both the anchors and matching screws are included, so you are not buying fasteners separately.
2) Which anchor in the WAKZ14 kit do I use in drywall versus masonry or block?
Use the zinc self-drilling anchors (#8 x 1-1/4) in hollow drywall, they thread straight into the board with a driver and need no pilot hole. The 1/4 inch red plastic expansion anchors paired with #10 x 1 inch pan head screws are the ones for solid material, concrete, block, brick or plaster, where you drill a 1/4 inch hole first and the sleeve expands as the screw drives in.
3) What size drill bit do I need for the red plastic anchors in this Metallics kit?
The plastic anchors in the WAK14 portion are 1/4 inch, so a 1/4 inch bit, masonry bit in concrete or block, is what the hole is drilled with. The anchor is set flush and the #10 x 1 inch pan head screw expands it. The zinc self-drilling anchors in the same kit need no bit at all.
4) Do the self-drilling zinc anchors in this kit hold in 1/2 inch drywall?
Yes. The #8 x 1-1/4 inch zinc self-drilling anchors are drywall anchors, threaded to bite the face and core of standard 1/2 and 5/8 inch gypsum board. They are a hollow-wall anchor, so they need open cavity behind the board, they will not seat in drywall applied directly over concrete. Use the kit's 1/4 inch red plastic anchors there.
5) Are the screws in the Metallics WAKZ14 kit corrosion resistant for damp locations?
The self-drilling anchors are zinc, which gives ordinary indoor corrosion protection. Nothing in the kit is specified for exterior or wet-location service, so for outdoor or damp mechanical rooms step up to a stainless or hot-dip galvanized anchor rather than relying on these.
