Hollow Wall Anchors Silver HW2

For fitting brackets to drywall sheet see the product code HW1 for hollow wall anchors for wall mounting our cube shelves or the 32mm thickness beveled edge floating shelves, and the larger anchor, part HW3 with an M5 screw for most of the floating shelves on this website. Part number HW4 with an M6 screw is more ideal for the German made floating shelves/shelf brackets part 5PB1 Call shelvingshop for advice if unsure. These smaller 4mm diameter (4mm diameter bolt) HW2SIL anchors are ideal for our small 32mm thickness beveled edge floating shelf bracket fixing (use the HW3, 5mm bolt diameter) for the larger thicker 38mm beveled edge shelves). Anchors need to be crimped in the wall before they are used to support a load. This is done by tightening the screw provided with the wall anchor which then collapses and crimps ("sets") behind the gyprock sheet as featured in one of the detail shots shown here. Note a special time saving crimping tool is available if many anchors are being fitted . Drill a 6-7mm hole in the gyprock sheet, remove the screw from the anchor body, and tap the fixing in with a hammer. Fixing must be a nice tight fit so it does not spin when tightening the screw. Insert the screw and tighten using a hand held screwdriver to collapse (set) the fixing behind the wall. When fully tightened the screw is removed and the shelf bracket, 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. Using multiple fixings can increase the weight capacity of the shelf or shelf brackets. If fitting multiple shelves a special time saving hollow wall anchor crimping tool is available . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNFv65-QTPI
