Acorn R143J Spring Wing Toggle Bolt 1/4 X 3 in Jar

Product Description

The ACORN R143J is a spring wing toggle bolt sold in jar quantity, designed for fastening fixtures and hardware to hollow walls and ceilings where a standard screw anchor cannot achieve adequate holding strength. The toggle mechanism features spring-loaded wings that expand behind the wall surface once inserted through a pre-drilled hole, distributing load across a wider area of the substrate. At 1/4-inch diameter and 3 inches in length, this bolt is suited for moderate-load applications across a range of hollow-wall materials. Electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians commonly reach for toggle bolts when securing junction boxes, pipe hangers, conduit supports, and equipment brackets to drywall or plaster ceilings.

This toggle bolt is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial settings wherever a hollow-wall anchor is required. Typical applications include mounting electrical enclosures, HVAC components, plumbing supports, and general trade hardware to interior drywall or plaster partitions and ceilings. The jar packaging makes this format well suited for contractors and service techs who need to keep a working supply on hand for recurring fastening tasks on the job site.

Key Features

• Spring-loaded toggle wings expand behind the wall surface for secure hollow-wall anchoring
• 1/4-inch diameter x 3-inch length suits moderate-load fastening applications
• Jar quantity packaging provides a job-site-ready supply for repeat use
• Compatible with standard pre-drilled hollow-wall installation technique
• Suitable for drywall, plaster, and similar hollow-wall substrates

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose hollow-wall fastener for use in residential and light commercial construction and trade service applications wherever a 1/4-inch spring wing toggle bolt is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by drilling a clearance hole sized to allow the folded toggle wings to pass through, threading the bolt through the fixture being mounted, attaching the toggle, and inserting the assembly into the hole until the wings spring open against the back of the wall. Pull back on the bolt while tightening to keep the wings seated against the wall surface. Always de-energize electrical circuits before installing fasteners near wiring, and follow applicable NEC or local building code requirements for anchor selection and load ratings. Do not exceed the load rating of the wall substrate material.
