3/16" Standard Hollow Wall Anchors / Extra Long / Steel / Zinc / Screw Thread Size: 10-24 / Hole Size: 3/8" (Quantity: 25 pcs)

A three-piece fastener consisting of (1) a cylindrical expander shell with longitudinal sections of its shank removed--this design allows the shell to be pulled toward the head and form anchoring legs on the blind side of the assembly. The shell has a threaded opening at one end and a flanged collar at the opposite end with an opening sufficiently large enough to allow a screw to pass to the threaded opening. The flange of the collar has prongs which dig into the bearing surface at the front end of the assembly; (2) a combo-drive pan head screw; (3) either a fiber or steel flat washer. Steel hollow wall anchors are considered to be light-duty anchors. They require a pre-drilled hole and may be used in drywall, sheetrock, plaster or paneling. When properly installed, they will not crack or crumble the wall material and resist vibration. The machine screw may be removed and inserted multiple times to accomodate an exchange of fixtures.
