Itw Buildex 560150 Drywall Hollow Wall Anchor 100-pack

Product Description

The ITW BUILDEX 560150 is a plastic self-drilling hollow wall anchor designed for secure fastening in drywall and similar hollow wall assemblies. At 9/32 inches in diameter and 1-5/8 inches overall length, it drills its own pilot hole on installation, eliminating the need for pre-drilling in most drywall applications. Compatible with No. 6 to No. 8 screws, each anchor supports a maximum static load capacity of 25 pounds. This anchor is sold in a package of 100 units, making it well suited for contractors, finish carpenters, and general trade professionals who need consistent inventory for residential and light commercial work.

This anchor is intended for use in drywall assemblies ranging from 3/8 inches to 3/4 inches in wall thickness. Typical applications include mounting light fixtures, shelving brackets, towel bars, grab bars, and other wall-hung hardware in interior drywall partitions. The self-drilling design speeds up installation in production environments where minimizing tool changes and pre-drill steps improves workflow efficiency on residential remodel and new construction projects alike.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by driving the anchor directly into drywall using a drill or screwdriver at low speed until the flange seats flush against the wall surface. Insert the appropriate No. 6 or No. 8 screw to expand the anchor body against the back face of the drywall. Do not overtighten the screw, as excessive torque can collapse the anchor body and reduce holding strength. Always verify that the installation location is clear of electrical wiring, plumbing, and framing members before driving anchors.
