In hollow walls (drywall, tile over drywall, hollow block, hollow

brick, etc.), as the screw enters the hollow space, it opens

the jaws of the ALLIGATOR anchor. The screw thread locks

into the teeth of the anchor to resist vibration and shock.

• Holding strength for an ALLIGATOR solid-wall anchor varies directly with the strength and condition of the substrate, the screw size,

and the extent of the screw engagement—and inversely with variations in hole diameter and the distance of the load from the wall.

• All figures in pounds. Pull-out values based on independent laboratory tests done according to U.S. Government standards. They

should be used as guides only and cannot be guaranteed. The age, condition, and capacity of the substrate must be considered.

• Industry standards recommend 1/4 of ultimate test load.

The latest generation of the ever-evolving

TOGGLER solid-wall anchor technology...

• Strongest—holds up to

2x more

than metal, adhesive,

epoxy and chemical anchors with the same screw diam-

eter and embedment depth

• Anchor

bonds

screw to concrete, brick & stone—

sealing the hole against moisture

• Versatile—holds securely even in hollow walls / ceilings

• Uniquely shaped head prevents spinning & countersink

• Accepts greatest range of screw sizes in each anchor

• High holding strength even with deviations in screw size

and hole diameter, where other anchors fail entirely

• Resists vibration & shock • Non-toxic • Sets instantly

• Screw can be removed and reinserted in same anchor

without loss of holding power

• Corrosion-proof when used with stainless steel screws

ALLIGATOR anchors are designed to hold high

loads in solid walls, ceilings, and floors ... but also

hold securely when they encounter an unexpected

cavity, such as in hollow brick or hollow block, or

even in drywall or, especially, in tile over drywall.

The specially formulated polypropylene body flows

into and locks up with any undercuts in the hole,

bonding the screw to the wall and sealing the hole

to prevent moisture from entering.

Optimal holding values [measured in tons] are

obtained in highly dense substrates by using a

screw diameter and a drill diameter of the same

size as the anchor diameter.

The anchor is available both unflanged for push-

through mounting and with a flange for use where

a cavity is anticipated (drywall, hollow brick, etc.).

In solid walls (concrete,

masonry, brick, etc.) the

ALLIGATOR anchor extrudes

up to 2x its original length

& bonds the screw to wall

Before anchor is

inserted into wall

As screw is inserted,

anchor bonds screw to wall

ALLIGATOR® SOLID-WALL ANCHORS Safety • All TOGGLER anchors are constructed completely out of inert materials. • OSHA standard 29 CFR 1910.1200 and DOT standards are not applicable. • No MSDS is required for any TOGGLER anchor. Installation Instructions • The ALLIGATOR anchor is supplied in the closed position, ready for rapid and immediate utilization. • The screw used to fasten the item also opens & sets the anchor in place: in both solid & hollow (cavity) walls.

ALLIGATOR® SOLID-WALL ANCHORS The Unique Way the ALLIGATOR anchor works The ALLIGATOR anchor has several features that dramatically increase its holding strength in solid and thick walls as compared to other solid-wall anchors. The anchor has a circular cross-section and is completely solid.
