Overview

The ABB 53-842 Hollow Wall Anchor is a precision-engineered fastener designed for secure mounting in hollow walls. With a size designation of 1/8-L, this anchor accommodates wall thicknesses ranging from 5/8 inch to 1-1/4 inch, making it ideal for drywall, plasterboard, and other hollow wall applications. The anchor requires a 1/4-inch drill size for installation, ensuring compatibility with standard tools. Measuring 1-15/16 inches in length, the 53-842 provides reliable support for lightweight to medium-duty fixtures such as electrical boxes, signage, and decorative elements. Manufactured by ABB Installation Products, a trusted name in industrial fasteners, this anchor delivers consistent performance in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings. Its simple yet effective design ensures quick installation with minimal tools, reducing labor time while maintaining structural integrity. The hollow wall anchor expands behind the wall surface, creating a secure grip that resists pull-out forces. For applications requiring a flush-mounted solution in non-load-bearing walls, the 53-842 is a cost-effective and dependable choice.
