Hillman Fasteners 41428 Round Head Toggle Bolt 1/4x3 in 6pk

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 41428 is a round head toggle bolt designed for fastening into hollow walls and ceilings where standard screw anchors lack sufficient holding strength. The 1/4-inch diameter by 3-inch length configuration suits medium to heavy-duty hanging applications in drywall, plaster, and similar hollow substrates. Each package contains 6 bolts. Toggle bolts like this one use a spring-loaded wing nut that collapses for insertion through a drilled hole and then expands behind the wall cavity to distribute load. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors use toggle bolts when securing conduit straps, pipe hangers, duct supports, and fixture brackets to hollow walls.

This toggle bolt is suited for residential and light commercial installations where a reliable hollow-wall anchor is required. Common applications include mounting electrical boxes, hanging HVAC equipment supports, securing plumbing brackets, and attaching shelving or fixtures to drywall or plaster surfaces. The round head profile seats flush-to-slightly-raised against the mounted surface, providing a clean bearing face for straps, brackets, and plates.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use hollow-wall fastener compatible with standard 1/4-inch toggle bolt applications in residential and light commercial construction.

Installation Notes

Installation requires drilling a clearance hole sized to allow the collapsed toggle wings to pass through the wall. De-energize any circuits in the work area before drilling near electrical panels or conduit runs, and shut off water supply before drilling near plumbing. Insert the bolt with wings collapsed, allow the wings to expand fully behind the wall, then tighten the bolt until snug. Do not overtighten, as excessive torque can pull the toggle through the wallboard face.
