Description
Flangeless Alligator Anchors
Although ALLIGATOR® All-Purpose Wall Anchors may look like ordinary plastic plugs, they function very differently to hold more weight than most concrete anchors and masonry anchors made out of metal. They can also hold more than most chemical, epoxy, and adhesive anchors.
In addition, the Flangeless Alligator Anchors feature a unique and patented design.
Metal concrete anchors can’t work when they hit a cavity because they need something solid to push against. In unexpected cavities (like hollow brick or hollow block) and in hollow walls (like tile over drywall or in drywall itself) the screw opens the ALLIGATOR anchor and locks its thread into the anchor’s teeth to resist pull-out and vibration. This makes the ALLIGATOR All-Purpose Wall Anchor the solution to your fastening problems.
Flangeless Alligator Anchors Features:
- Versatile—work in all materials: drywall, concrete, brick, tile, plaster, stucco, wood & more with a wide range of screw sizes
- Stronger than most metal & chemical anchors and all plastic plugs— anchor bonds screw to concrete, brick & masonry
- Won’t spin or countersink into hole, thanks to unique head design & anti-rotation fins
- Weather-resistant—seal the hole in concrete, brick & stone: NO caulking or sealant needed
- Inexpensive, rustproof installations when used with stainless steel screw.
Flangeless Alligator Anchors can also be used in almost any material, including: Concrete, Brick, Masonry, Stone, Cinder or Cement Block, Aerated Concrete, Ceramic Tile, Green Board, Plaster, Stucco, Drywall, Wood, Flakeboard, RTA Furniture, and Foam-insulated Panels.
