Itw Buildex 560149 Self Drilling Drywall Wall Anchor 100pk

Product Description

The ITW BUILDEX 560149 is a zinc self drilling hollow wall anchor designed for fastening into drywall without a pre-drilled pilot hole. The anchor drives directly into the wall surface, then expands behind the drywall panel to distribute load against the back face. It accommodates number 6 to number 8 screws and is rated for wall material ranging from 0.375 inches to 0.75 inches thick. Each anchor measures 0.4375 inches in diameter and 1.25 inches in overall length. The zinc plated finish provides corrosion resistance suited to interior installations. This package contains 100 anchors. Typically installed by general contractors, drywall finishers, or experienced DIYers during light-duty interior fastening work.

The 560149 is intended for use in standard interior drywall hollow wall applications. Common uses include mounting shelving brackets, towel bars, cabinet hardware, electrical fixtures, and similar items where load requirements do not exceed the rated capacity. The anchor is suited for residential and light commercial construction where the wall cavity prevents direct stud fastening. Wall thickness compatibility of 0.375 to 0.75 inches covers standard half-inch and five-eighths-inch drywall panels.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a general contractor, finish carpenter, or qualified trade professional. Before installing, confirm the target area is free of electrical wiring, plumbing, and structural members using an appropriate stud finder or detection tool. Drive the anchor flush with the wall surface using a screw gun or drill at low torque to avoid stripping the anchor body, then insert the appropriate number 6 or number 8 screw to complete the fastening. Never exceed the stated 40 pound load capacity, and do not use in wet or exterior environments.
