Hillman Fasteners 5021 Toggle Bolt 1/8x2 Mushroom Head 2 Pack

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 5021 is a snap-in toggle bolt designed for fastening into hollow walls and ceilings where a standard wood screw or sheet-metal screw cannot get adequate purchase. The mushroom head profile provides a wide bearing surface that seats flush against the work surface, distributing load across a broader area. At 1/8 inch diameter and 2 inches in length, this toggle bolt suits light-to-medium load anchoring tasks in drywall, plaster, and similar hollow substrates. Electricians, plumbers, and general contractors reach for toggle bolts when securing brackets, conduit supports, junction box covers, and similar hardware to hollow partitions. This package contains 2 fasteners.

This toggle bolt is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications where hollow-wall anchoring is required. Typical install scenarios include mounting electrical fixture brackets, pipe hangers, and duct supports to interior drywall partitions or drop-ceiling grid components. The snap-in wing mechanism deploys automatically once the bolt is pushed through the pilot hole, eliminating the need to manually fold the toggle before insertion. This makes one-person installation straightforward in tight spaces.

Key Features

• Snap-in toggle wing deploys automatically through the pilot hole for single-handed installation
• Mushroom head provides a wide bearing surface for flush seating against the work surface
• 1/8 inch diameter by 2 inch length suits light-to-medium hollow-wall anchoring tasks
• Compatible with drywall, plaster, and similar hollow-cavity substrates
• Includes 2 fasteners per pack

Compatibility

Designed as a standard snap-in toggle bolt for use in hollow walls and ceilings constructed of drywall or plaster with a cavity depth sufficient to allow the toggle wing to deploy behind the wall surface.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed with a drill and bit sized to the toggle wing width, plus a flat-head or Phillips screwdriver matching the head drive. Drill a clean pilot hole sized to allow the folded toggle to pass through, then insert the bolt until the wing snaps open against the back of the wall. Do not overtighten, as excess torque can crush drywall facing or cause the toggle to spin. Always verify the substrate and load rating are appropriate before hanging any supported component.
