Are Plastic Wall Plugs or Nylon Wall Plugs Better for my Application?

Nylon and plastic wall anchors for concrete and other surfaces are suitable for a range of applications. A few examples include:

• Industrial or commercial construction
• Adding lightweight decorative elements for aesthetic appeal
• Hanging pictures
• And much more!

However, not all wall plugs are created equal, and the needs of your application will dictate if plastic or nylon is better for your planned use.

When to Use Plastic Anchors

Plastic wall anchors are usually installed into buildings or residential homes made primarily with drywall. They are cost-effective and versatile components that make hanging objects quick and easy, protecting your walls and other surfaces. Many sizes and configurations are available in bulk to meet your needs, including:

• Plastic anchor kits
• Bantam plug plastic anchors
• Toggles
• Standard plastic anchors
• Fluted plastic anchors
• Tubular plastic anchors

When to Use Nylon Anchors

Nylon anchors are a great choice for hanging applications that require more holding force than is offered by plastic wall plugs. Nylon adds durability, vibration resistance, and excellent performance in various temperatures. To match your specifications, BW Industrial Sales offers several nylon wall plug options, such as:

• Mungo anchors
• Mushroom head nails in nylon anchors
• Nylon plugs

How to Install Wall Anchors

Plastic and nylon wall anchors for concrete, drywall, and other surfaces can be installed quickly and painlessly by following a few straightforward steps:

1. Identify where you want to install your plastic or nylon anchor and mark the wall
2. Drill a hole using a bit with a diameter slightly smaller than the wall anchor
3. Push the plastic or nylon anchor into the wall with your finger, then lightly tap the wall anchor with a hammer until it is flush with the surface
4. Insert a screw in the center of the anchor
5. Tighten the screw using a screwdriver, being careful not to insert the screw completely
6. Hang your object on the protruding screw
