Hollow Wall Anchors HW1

SKU: HW1
$1.55

The hollow wall anchor needs to be "set" in the gyprock wall before it is used to support a load. This is done by tightening the screw provided with the wall anchor which then collapses and spreads ("sets") behind the gyprock sheet as featured here. (A special crimping tool is available if multiple anchors are being used part number HWAG) . Drill a 6-7mm hole in the gyprock sheet, remove the screw from the anchor body, and tap the fixing in with a hammer. The fixing must be a nice tight fit so it does not spin when tightening the screw. Insert the screw and tighten carefully to collapse (set) the fixing behind the wall. When fully tightened the screw is removed and the shelf bracket, wall cube, etc. is then attached with the screw into the set fixing(s). Note when using these fixings, weight capacity is limited to the actual strength of the gyprock sheet but can be up to 10kg. Using multiple fixings will increase the weight capacity of the shelf or shelf brackets. See the you tube link video showing how to fit the hollow wall anchors. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNFv65-QTPI
