Technical Information:
Plastic Toggler -
Applications:
Light to medium duty in concrete, brick,block, drywall, masonite, plywood and paneling.
Plastic Toggler -
Installation:
Hollow Wall - (1) Drill 5/16" hole. (2) Fold anchor, insert anchor in hole and tap flush with wall. (3) Insert key to pop anchor open behind hollow wall (not necessary for thick or solid walls). (4) Place item over anchor, insert screw and tighten until screw is flush with fixture. Solid Base Material - (1) Drill 5/16" hole. (2) Clean out hole. (3) Fold anchor, insert anchor in hole and tap flush with base material. (4) Place item over anchor, insert screw and tighten until screw is flush.

Anchor Length:
The anchor chosen is based on the thickness of the base material. The TA toggler is for material thickness of 1/8" to 1/4". The TB is for material thickness of 3/8" to 1/2" and the TC is for material thickness of 5/8" to 3/4". All Sizes can be used in solid base material such as concrete.

Anchor Spacing:
The forces on a Plastic Toggler are transferred to the material that it is installed in. If the anchors are installed too close together, it can cause an interaction of the forces, thus reducing the holding power of the anchor. When anchoring into low-density materials, the holding power will no be greater than that of the material. As a rule of thumb, anchors should be spaced 18 to 24 inches from center to center to get maximum holding power in low-density materials. Depending on the type of high density material, spacing may be closer. When vibration or sudden impact are part of the load condition, the spacing should be increased.
