Value Collection NFC5431 Toggle Bolt Anchor 3/8in X 3in Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NFC5431 is a steel toggle bolt hollow wall anchor designed for fastening loads to drywall, plaster, hollow tile, and wallboard where there is no solid backing behind the wall surface. The anchor features a spring-loaded toggle wing that expands behind the wall cavity once inserted, distributing load across a wider bearing area. Rated at 1,385 pounds maximum load capacity, it accepts a 3/8-inch screw and measures 3/8 inches in diameter with a 3-inch overall length. The zinc finish provides basic corrosion resistance for interior installations. This anchor is installed by trade professionals and knowledgeable tradespeople working in residential and light commercial interiors.

This toggle bolt anchor is suited for hanging mechanical components, electrical fixtures, junction boxes, brackets, conduit supports, or other trade hardware on hollow wall surfaces including drywall, plaster over lath, hollow masonry tile, and wallboard assemblies. It is a practical fastener choice when a stud or solid substrate is not accessible and the applied load falls within the rated capacity of the anchor. The slotted/phillips drive type accommodates standard hand tools already common on the job site.

Key Features

• 1,385 pound maximum load capacity for reliable holding in hollow wall applications

Compatibility

Designed for use in concrete and masonry, hollow tile, plaster, and wallboard wall assemblies where a hollow cavity exists behind the wall surface and solid-substrate fastening is not available.

Installation Notes

Toggle bolt anchors are installed by electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general tradespeople working on interior hollow wall surfaces. Before installation, verify the wall substrate type and confirm the applied load does not exceed the anchor's rated capacity. Drill a clearance hole sized to allow the collapsed toggle wing to pass through, then insert the anchor and tighten the screw until the toggle wing seats firmly against the back of the wall. Do not overtighten, as this can crush drywall facing or pull the toggle through the substrate.
