What Are Wall Plug Anchor?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Wall plug anchor, also known as plastic anchors or wall plugs, are inserts used to enable screw attachment in materials that are porous, brittle, or otherwise unable to support threads . Typically made from soft material like plastic, they are inserted into a drilled hole; as a screw is driven in, the plug expands against the walls of the hole, creating a tight conforming grip .<\/p>\n
