Metallics JTWA145 Bolt 1/4 X 5 Tie Wire Acoust Tog Bl St-zn (Jar 25)

It is the anchor electricians and ceiling crews use to hang suspended acoustical ceiling grid, support wire, and light or conduit supports from a hollow deck or hollow masonry. The toggle wings spread behind the deck, and the tie wire end takes the hanger wire directly, so you do not need a separate eye or hook. The JTWA145 gives you 5 inches of length to reach through thicker deck assemblies.

Zinc plated steel, not stainless. That is a dry interior finish, fine for ceiling grid and conduit support inside a conditioned building, but it is not what you want in a wet, washdown, or exterior location.

No. The tie wire head on this 1/4 inch toggle takes the ceiling hanger wire directly, so one fastener handles both the anchor and the wire attachment. You supply the hanger wire itself; the jar contains 25 bolts with their toggles.

Length is about reach, not grip thickness. The 5 inch shank on the JTWA145 lets the toggle clear deeper deck or furring assemblies before the wings spread. On a thin panel the extra length simply protrudes past the toggle, so for shallow work a shorter 1/4 inch tie wire toggle is the tidier choice.

It ships as a 25 piece jar, which is the standard put-up for this tie wire toggle. For a grid install where you are setting dozens of hanger points, plan on counting jars rather than pieces.
