Hillman 370057 Toggle Bolt, 3/16X4-Inch, 50-Pack

Description

Product Overview

The Hillman 370057 toggle bolt is engineered for demanding fastening applications where strength and reliability are paramount. Constructed from high‑grade alloy steel, each bolt offers a corrosion‑resistant zinc finish that helps extend service life in a variety of indoor environments. The round head design provides a smooth, low‑profile appearance while delivering a secure grip that resists stripping during installation. With a thread size of 3/16 inch and an overall length of 4 inches, the bolt is sized to accommodate standard drywall, plaster, and other hollow‑wall substrates, delivering a load‑bearing capacity that exceeds typical light‑duty fasteners. The package includes 50 pieces, giving professionals and DIY enthusiasts ample inventory for repetitive tasks, large‑scale projects, or future maintenance needs. All dimensions are measured in inches, and the product conforms to Class 8.8 thread specifications, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of nuts and washers. The toggle mechanism expands behind the wall surface, distributing load across a broader area and reducing the risk of material failure. This makes the Hillman toggle bolt an excellent choice for mounting shelving, cabinets, heavy equipment, and decorative fixtures where conventional screws would be insufficient.

Usage

Designed for both professional contractors and seasoned hobbyists, the Hillman toggle bolt excels in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. It is particularly well‑suited for installing items that require a strong anchor point, such as wall‑mounted televisions, heavy shelving units, and workshop equipment. The bolt’s pre‑drilled hole requirement simplifies installation: a pilot hole is drilled to the appropriate size, the toggle is inserted, and the bolt is tightened until the head sits flush against the surface. This straightforward process reduces installation time while maintaining a high level of safety. Because the bolt is made from alloy steel with a zinc coating, it can withstand occasional exposure to moisture without rusting, making it appropriate for utility rooms, garages, and even semi‑outdoor applications where humidity may be a factor. The 50‑piece pack is ideal for projects that involve multiple anchor points, such as installing a series of picture frames, mounting a gallery wall, or securing a network of pipe supports. Users should verify the load requirements of their specific application and select the appropriate toggle size; the 3/16 inch diameter offers a balanced combination of strength and ease of use for most standard tasks.

FAQ

What type of wall material is suitable for this toggle bolt?

The Hillman 370057 toggle bolt is designed for hollow‑wall applications such as drywall, plaster, and similar substrates where a cavity exists behind the surface.
