Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 41426 is a snap-in toggle bolt designed for fastening into hollow walls and ceilings where a traditional wood screw or masonry anchor is not suitable. The mushroom head profile provides a broad bearing surface that distributes load across drywall or plaster finishes without pulling through. The 3/16-inch diameter by 3-inch length configuration handles medium-duty hanging and anchoring tasks common in commercial and residential construction, HVAC equipment mounting, and electrical fixture work. Each pack contains 10 fasteners, making it practical for multi-point installations or repeat service calls.

This toggle bolt is used in residential and light commercial applications where hollow-wall anchoring is required. Typical scenarios include mounting junction boxes, attaching duct hangers to drywall ceilings, securing conduit straps, and hanging fixtures where stud or joist access is not available. The snap-in wing mechanism allows single-handed insertion, which is useful in tight spaces or overhead installations.

Key Features

3/16-inch diameter by 3-inch length for medium-duty hollow-wall anchoring
Snap-in wing design enables single-handed insertion through pre-drilled holes
Mushroom head provides wide bearing surface to reduce pull-through on drywall and plaster
10-fastener pack supports multi-point mounting tasks in a single trip
Suitable for overhead and vertical hollow-wall installations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard snap-in toggle bolt for use in hollow drywall, plaster, and similar cavity wall construction materials requiring a 3/16-inch diameter anchor point.

Installation Notes

Installation requires drilling a clearance hole sized to allow the folded toggle wings to pass through the wall surface. Electricians and HVAC technicians should verify wall cavity depth is sufficient for the 3-inch bolt length before installation. Do not overtighten the fastener, as excessive torque can crack drywall or strip the anchor point. Always confirm the wall material and cavity construction can support the intended load before relying on toggle anchors for equipment mounting.
