Value Collection 156012PR Plastic Plug Wall Anchor 3/8in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 156012PR is a plastic plug-style hollow wall anchor designed for fastening into drywall and hollow wall assemblies. Measuring 0.375 inches in diameter and 2.375 inches in overall length, it accommodates a No. 10-24 machine screw. The plug anchor expands behind the drywall face as the screw is driven, distributing load across the hollow cavity. This type of anchor is commonly installed by general contractors, maintenance technicians, and experienced DIYers working on interior wall fastening applications where standard wood screws cannot reach solid framing.

This anchor is suited for interior residential and light commercial drywall installations where a reliable, cost-effective hollow-wall fastening solution is needed. Typical applications include mounting fixtures, brackets, shelving hardware, and electrical accessories on standard gypsum wallboard where stud placement does not align with the fastening point. The anchor is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 25 units, making it practical for stocking in a shop or service vehicle for repeat use.

Key Features

• Plug-style expansion design secures behind drywall face as screw is tightened
• 0.375 inches diameter fits standard pilot holes in gypsum wallboard
• 2.375 inches overall length provides adequate engagement depth in typical half-inch and five-eighths-inch drywall
• Compatible with No. 10-24 machine screws
• Plastic construction resists corrosion in interior environments
• Minimum order quantity of 25 units supports bulk service and maintenance use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use anchor for standard gypsum drywall and hollow wall panel assemblies requiring a No. 10-24 screw thread.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by maintenance technicians or general trade professionals. Drill a pilot hole sized to the anchor diameter before insertion - do not force the anchor into an undersized hole, as this can crack the drywall face. Drive the paired No. 10-24 screw firmly but avoid overtightening, which can pull the anchor through the wallboard. Confirm wall material and thickness before selecting anchor type to ensure adequate holding capacity.
