Metallics NT14C Anchors 1/4-20 Strap-Tog Ancr St-zn (Bag 100)

The NT14C is a 1/4-20 strap toggle, so it accepts any 1/4-20 machine screw or bolt. That is a coarse 1/4 inch thread, the common size for hanging unistrut, pipe hangers, and electrical boxes off hollow block or drywall.

A strap toggle sets its steel channel behind the wall on a plastic strap, then the strap snaps off flush. The bolt can be removed and reinstalled later without the toggle falling into the cavity, which is the main reason to pick it over a spring wing toggle. Spring wings drop free the moment you back the bolt out. Use the NT14C where the fixture may come down for service: panel covers, access plates, serviced light fixtures.

Yes, strap toggles are hollow wall anchors, so they work in drywall, plaster, hollow concrete block, and hollow tile wherever there is open cavity behind for the channel to swing. They are not an anchor for solid concrete or solid masonry, where you need a sleeve, wedge, or screw anchor.

They ship 100 to a bag. One bag of the NT14C covers a full day of hanging light fixtures or conduit supports without a second trip to the counter.

Steel with a zinc plating, which is what the St-zn in the description means. Zinc plated steel is for dry interior work. For exterior, wet, or corrosive locations you want a stainless or hot dip galvanized anchor instead.

Order the 1/4-20 fasteners to suit your job. Strap toggles are specified by thread size because the bolt length depends on the thickness of the wall plus whatever you are hanging, so the screw is chosen at the jobsite rather than supplied in a fixed length.

It is an electrical department fastener, carried for conduit straps, box mounting, raceway, and fixture hanging on hollow walls. The 1/4-20 thread matches the hardware most strut clamps, hanger rods, and fixture brackets take.
