Screw Length:
Thickness of material to be fastened plus thickness of base material equals screw length.
Toggle Bolt -
Anchor Spacing:
The forces on a Toggler brand toggle bolt 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.
