The A8-6PK ALLIGATOR solid-wall anchor is the only anchor that extrudes the entire length of the screw. The A8 Flangeless Solid-Wall Anchor requires a 5/16" hole.
The screw extrudes and compresses the anchor polymer into the wall of the hole under tremendous pressure. The anchor molds and conforms exactly to the surface of the hole—without chemicals.
All forces supported by the screw are transmitted outwardly 360° to the wall surface of the hole. This provides greater holding power by distributing the force over the maximum area possible.
APPLICATIONS
Alligator solid-wall anchors are designed to support heavy
loads (even under vibration), such as:
Electrical equipment
Shelving
Lighting Fixtures
Handrails, bannisters & grab bars
Alarms
Partitions
Telephone equipment
Cabinets
Towel Dispensers
Plumbing Fixtures
Awnings
Stadium Seats
Circuit Breakers
Antennae
Window frames
Fire extinguishers
Framing
Storefront gates
Soap dispensers
Signs
RTA furniture
HVAC equipment
Light machinery
Pallet racking
Loading dock bumpers
Storm shutters
Bathroom partitions
MATERIALS
ALLIGATOR solid wall anchors can be used in almost any material,
including:
Concrete
Brick
Cinder block
Wood
Masonry
Ceramic tile
Plaster
Stone
Stucco
Aerated concrete
Flakeboard
Drywall

WHAT SIZES ARE AVAILABLE?
ALLIGATOR® anchors are available with a flange (except the A10 anchor), or
without a flange (for through-the-fixture anchoring).

| The A10 anchor works ONLY in solid walls. |
1. Drill hole into solid wall same diameter as anchor diameter. Minimum hole depth = 2x the length of the anchor. Push in anchor and tap flush to wall with hammer.
2. Place item over anchor.
Insert screw and tighten flush with item.
3. Anchor will extrude up to 2x its original length, sealing the hole and providing highest holding power.
For best results, use a screw gun for installation in solid walls. If you hit a hidden cavity, the screw opens the anchor and locks securely.

ALLIGATOR® solid-wall anchors are the strongest anchors for concrete, brick, and masonry on the market. They outhold all metal, adhesive, and epoxy anchors of comparable screw size The special shape of their heads and the anti-rotation fins prevent the anchor from spinning and countersinking into the wall The anchors work even when they hit a hollow cavity in the wall—no need to replace with a hollow-wall anchor! The screw thread locks into the "teeth" in the anchor for vibration proof and shock proof holding.
WHY ARE THEY BETTER THAN CONVENTIONAL ANCHORS?
Attributes of ALLIGATOR solid-wall anchors that make them superior to conventional solid-wall anchors, such as metal expansion, wedge, sleeve, and drop-in anchors, plastic plugs, or chemical/adhesive anchors...
- Fast: Can be installed through the fixture with a screw gun—anti-rotation fins and unique head design prevent sinking and spinning.
- Versatile: Work in any building material.
- Intelligent: Work with broadest range of screw sizes for highest holding power without cracking wall.
- Strong: Hold more than metal anchors 2 times their diameter. Unlike metal anchors, there is no torque measurement required to set.
- Set Instantly: Set instantly, unlike so-called chemical anchors. "Molding" action bonds anchor to wall.
- Vibration-Proof: Specially formulated corrosion-proof polymer absorbs shock...and is
- Adaptable: Non-corrodable, non-magnetic, and non-conductive
