Value Collection MP38579 Toggle Wall Anchor 5/16 in 160 Lb 25 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MP38579 is a plastic toggle-style hollow wall anchor designed for fastening into drywall and wallboard applications. The anchor measures 5/16 inches in diameter and accepts wall material up to 3/4 inches thick. It delivers a maximum load capacity of 160 pounds, making it suitable for securing fixtures, brackets, and hardware in walls where no stud is present. This package contains 25 anchors. Installation is performed by general contractors, electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians during rough-in and trim-out work when wall-mounting equipment, panels, or accessories.

These toggle anchors are suited for residential and light commercial interior wall applications. They install into hollow drywall and wallboard cavities where a standard wood screw or concrete fastener would not hold. Typical use cases include mounting junction boxes, pipe brackets, thermostat bases, and other wall-attached hardware in areas without accessible framing. The 160-pound load rating makes these appropriate for moderate static loads in drywall assemblies.

Key Features

• 5/16 inch diameter fits standard hollow wall anchor pilot holes in drywall
• 160-pound maximum load capacity for moderate static wall loads
• Accepts wall material up to 3/4 inches thick
• Plastic construction resists corrosion in interior environments
• Pack of 25 anchors supports multi-point installations in a single job

Compatibility

Designed for use in hollow drywall and wallboard assemblies. Suitable for interior hollow wall fastening applications where the wall cavity allows toggle expansion behind the wallboard surface.

Installation Notes

Toggle wall anchors are installed by drilling a pilot hole sized to the anchor diameter, inserting the collapsed toggle through the hole, and securing until the toggle expands and seats against the backside of the wallboard. Always verify the wall material and thickness match the anchor specifications before installation. Do not exceed the rated load capacity, and ensure the anchor is fully seated before applying load. General carpentry and trade tools apply; no special licensing is required for anchor installation.
