Planning Guide

Plan the right fit before choosing

Start With Compatibility

Select for the compatible screw size

Available anchors are identified for a range of screw sizes, from #4 through #16. Conical styles are offered for #4, #6, and #8; #8, #10, and #12; or #12, #14, and #16 screws. Other options are specified for #6, #8, #10, or #12 anchors, while ribbed tubular anchors are compatible with #12 and #14 screws.

  • Match the listed anchor size or screw range to the fastening need.
  • Use conical and winged anchors with the compatible sheet metal or wood screws stated for each option.
  • Choose toggle styles for use with compatible drywall or sheet metal screws.
  • Conical lip options work with self-tapping or wood screws.
Compare Anchor Designs

Choose a design suited to the installation

Different designs address different wall applications. Triple-grip anchors use two expandable wings and cam-action expansion to grip behind drywall and create added pressure against the substrate. Nylon toggle anchors have wings that spread or splay behind hollow walls. Conical, conical lip, and winged plastic anchors are identified for a broader range of wall materials, while ribbed tubular anchors are intended for solid-wall applications.

  • Use expandable drywall anchors when the installation calls for gripping behind drywall.
  • Consider toggle anchors for drywall or solid-wall applications; their wings expand behind hollow walls.
  • Choose conical or winged anchors for stated solid-wall, hollow-wall, concrete block, and brick uses.
  • Select ribbed tubular anchors for compatible solid-wall installations.
Plan for Quantity and Holding Needs

Choose the right pack and application level

The represented products come in 50- or 100-anchor packs for repeated installation work. Certain conical lip anchors are described as light-duty and intended for tasks where high holding power is not required. Ribbed tubular anchors are not recommended for overhead or critical holding applications.

  • Choose 50-packs or 100-packs based on the number of planned installations.
  • Use light-duty conical lip anchors where high holding power is not required.
  • Review application guidance before choosing an anchor for overhead or critical holding work.
