Hillman Fasteners 5006 Hollow Wall Anchor 1/8 Inch 2 Pack

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 5006 is a hollow wall anchor designed to provide a secure fastening point in drywall and other hollow wall surfaces. Each pack contains 2 anchors, each measuring 1/8 inch in length. This type of anchor expands behind the wall cavity when a screw is driven in, distributing load across a wider surface area than a plain screw alone. It is a standard trade and DIY fastener used by electricians, plumbers, and general contractors when mounting fixtures, brackets, or equipment enclosures to wall surfaces where a stud is not accessible.

The 5006 hollow wall anchor is suited for light-duty fastening applications in residential and light commercial settings. Typical use cases include mounting junction box brackets, pipe hangers, cable management hardware, and similar fixtures to finished drywall walls and ceilings where direct stud or joist contact is not feasible. The clam shell packaging keeps the anchors organized and protected until use.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a general contractor, electrician, or plumber using a drill and screwdriver. Mark the desired anchor location, drill a pilot hole sized to the anchor body, insert the anchor flush with the wall surface, then drive the screw to expand the anchor behind the wall. Always verify the wall material and thickness before selecting anchor size to ensure a proper fit and adequate holding capacity.
