About TOGGLER ALLIGATOR A8 Screw
The TOGGLER ALLIGATOR A8 flush-mount anchor provides a secure hold in solid and hollow concrete, brick, stone, and drywall, and is made in USA. Once inserted flush with the surface of a 5/16" drilled hole in a wall, ceiling, or floor, the anchor accepts a #8 to #14 size screw with a thread length at least equal to the thickness of the item being fastened plus 1-3/4". The fins on the anchor head grip the mounting material to prevent spinning when a screw is inserted. When installed within a solid material, the corrosion-resistant polypropylene body expands and elongates to fill and mold to the hole when a screw is inserted. This helps distribute the force evenly throughout its length to help prevent wall fracture. When installed within a hollow material or a solid material with unexpected cavities, the anchor's jaws open as a screw is inserted, locking the anchor and screw within the material.SpecificationsUltimate Tensile Strength ValuesAnchorDrill DiameterScrew Description1/2" Drywall3,500 psi ConcreteA5/AF53/16"#8 sheet metal screw57 lb.544 lb.A6/AF61/4"#10 sheet metal screw69 lb.675 lb.A8/AF85/16"#12 sheet metal screw85 lb.1,025 lb.A103/8"#14 sheet metal screwN/A1,168 lb.Ultimate Shear Strength ValuesAnchorDrill DiameterScrew Description1/2" DrywallA5/AF53/16"#8 sheet metal screw125 lb.A6/AF61/4"#10 sheet metal screw153 lb.A8/AF85/16"#12 sheet metal screw171 lb.Warning: Use one-fourth or less of listed maximum values for safe working loads (as required by local regulations).
