Screw Length:
Thickness
of material to be fastened plus 1 " penetration
into anchor equals screw length.
Wall Driller -
Anchor Spacing:
The forces on a Wall Driller 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.

Potential Uses:
Small pictures, lightweight bathroom fixtures, lightweight
appliances, small signs, conduit clips, smoke detectors.
