| Description |
A fastening system consisting of (1) two matching steel “wings” each bent at two 900 angles, (2) an internally threaded nut with protrusions spaced 1800 apart which serves as a pivot attaching the two wings, (3) a wire spring providing the necessary tension to open and close the wings, and (4) a machine screw which mates with the nut. |
|
| Applications |
Toggle bolts are light-duty anchors for use in hollow block or gypsum wallboard. They spread the load over a larger area and are more temperature resistant than other hollow wall anchors. They are single-use anchors. |
|
| Material |
Wing Body: AISI 1008-1010 or equivalent cold rolled steel. Trunnion Nut: 1/4” thru 3/8”: AISI 1010 steel: 1/2”: Zamac alloy Screw: carbon steel |
|
| Tensile Strength |
Ultimate load capacities for toggle bolts in various materials are listed in the above table. The suggested safe working load is 1/4 the loads listed here. |
|
| Plating | Toggle bolts are commonly supplied with a clear zinc finish. | |
