Nyon anchor
WEIGENG

Material:
Nylon anchors are primarily composed of nylon, a durable and versatile thermoplastic polymer.
Other plastic materials like polypropylene or polyethylene may also be used.
Expansion Mechanism:
Nylon anchors have an expandable body or sleeve design.
When the screw is inserted and tightened, the anchor expands within the pre-drilled hole, creating a tight fit.
Installation:
Nylon anchors require a pre-drilled hole in the wall or ceiling material.
The anchor is then pushed into the hole, and a screw is inserted and tightened, causing the anchor to expand and grip the inside of the hole.
Hole Preparation:
The hole diameter for a nylon anchor is typically slightly smaller than the anchor's outer diameter.
This allows the anchor to expand and lock into place within the hole.
Screw Compatibility:
Nylon anchors are designed to be used with specific screw sizes, typically denoted on the packaging.
Common screw sizes include #6, #8, and #10.
Load Capacity:
Nylon anchors have a relatively low weight capacity compared to other types of anchors.
They are generally suitable for light-duty applications, supporting loads up to 50 lbs or less, depending on the anchor size and wall material.
Applications:
Picture frames, mirrors, and wall decor
Curtain rods and towel racks
Small shelves and storage units
