Hillman Fasteners 5027 Round Head Toggle Bolt 3/16x3 in 2pk

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 5027 is a round head snap-in toggle bolt designed for fastening into hollow walls and ceilings where a standard wood or masonry anchor is not an option. Each bolt uses a spring-loaded wing mechanism that collapses for insertion through a drilled hole, then snaps open behind the substrate to distribute the load across the back face of the material. The round head profile sits flush against the mounting surface for a clean finished look. This pack includes 2 toggle bolts in a 3/16 x 3 inch configuration, suited for medium-load hanging applications in drywall, plaster, or similar hollow materials.

These toggle bolts are used in residential and light commercial installations where hollow-wall anchoring is required. Typical applications include mounting electrical boxes, HVAC brackets, plumbing supports, light fixtures, handrails, and equipment panels to drywall or plaster walls. The 3/16 x 3 inch size handles fixtures that require a reliable, load-bearing connection through hollow substrate. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors routinely use toggle bolts of this type when solid backing is not available at the desired mounting location.

Key Features

• Snap-in wing design collapses for insertion and locks open behind the wall surface
• Round head profile for a clean, low-profile finish at the mounting surface
• 3/16 x 3 inch bolt dimensions suit medium-load hollow-wall fastening
• 2-bolt pack for single-job or paired-mount applications
• Compatible with drywall, plaster, and similar hollow wall and ceiling materials

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style hollow-wall fastener for use in drywall, plaster, and comparable hollow substrate applications where a 3/16 inch diameter toggle bolt is specified.

Installation Notes

Toggle bolts are installed by drilling a clearance hole sized to allow the collapsed wings to pass through the substrate, then threading the fixture onto the bolt before inserting it into the hole. Once the wings snap open behind the wall, the bolt is tightened until snug — overtightening can pull the wings through or crack drywall. Follow applicable building codes and the fixture manufacturer's load rating guidance when selecting anchor type and size. No power tools are required beyond a drill for the pilot hole.
