Toggler SNAPTOGGLE BM5S Stainless Hollow-Wall Anchor

The Toggler SNAPTOGGLE BM5S is a stainless-channel hollow-wall anchor designed to provide a secure M5 metal-to-metal fixing point in compatible cavity-wall materials. Its 304 stainless steel channel is positioned behind the wall using the attached straps and retained by a polypropylene cap.

The BM5S requires a 13mm installation hole, accommodates a 10–92mm grip range and needs at least 48mm clear space behind the wall for installation.

Key benefits

• 304 stainless steel channel: provides a stainless alternative to the standard zinc-plated BM5 channel.
• M5 threaded fixing: creates a reusable metal-to-metal connection for a compatible M5 bolt.
• Removable fixture: the bolt can be removed while the correctly fitted anchor remains positioned behind the wall.
• 13mm installation hole: uses the verified hole diameter for the BM5S model.
• Wide grip range: accommodates compatible wall and fixture build-ups from 10mm to 92mm.
• Controlled positioning: the straps hold the channel against the rear surface while the cap is installed.

Typical applications

• Suitable hollow and cavity-wall installations
• Plasterboard and drywall where permitted by the manufacturer
• Wall-mounted brackets, rails and suitable fixtures
• Cabinet and shelving installations
• Maintenance and refurbishment work

Suitability and safe loading depend on the wall material, board thickness, substrate condition, fixing spacing, fixture design and loading direction. Do not use a universal load figure without verified technical data for the exact installation.

Installation guidance

1. Confirm that the wall material, thickness and cavity depth are suitable.
2. Check for concealed pipes and electrical cables.
3. Drill a clean 13mm hole.
4. Pass the stainless steel channel through the hole.
5. Pull the straps forward until the channel sits flat against the rear of the wall.
6. Slide the plastic cap along the straps until its flange sits flush against the wall.
7. Move the straps from side to side to snap them off level with the cap.
8. Position the fixture and insert a compatible M5 bolt.
9. Tighten securely without crushing or damaging the wall material.

The required bolt length depends on the wall thickness and the thickness of the item being fixed. Do not publish a universal bolt length unless the supplied bolt specification is confirmed.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between BM5 and BM5S?

The BM5S has a 304 stainless steel metal channel. The standard BM5 uses a zinc-plated steel channel. The straps and cap are polymer components on both versions.

What thread size does the BM5S accept?

The BM5S uses an M5 × 0.8 metric thread.

What size installation hole is required?

A 13mm installation hole is required.

What wall thickness can it accommodate?

The verified grip range is 10–92mm. A minimum clear space of 48mm is also required behind the wall.

Can the fixture be removed?

Yes. The compatible bolt can be removed while the correctly installed anchor remains behind the wall, allowing the fixture to be removed and refitted.

Is a bolt included?

The current product record does not confirm that a bolt is included. A compatible M5 bolt should be sourced separately unless the packaging confirms otherwise.

How much weight can the BM5S support?

The safe working load depends on the substrate, wall thickness, installation quality, fixing spacing, fixture and loading direction. Consult verified technical information for the exact application.

Is the BM5S suitable for outdoor or marine use?

The anchor has a 304 stainless steel channel, but complete installation suitability also depends on the bolt, surrounding components and environment. Do not claim marine or exterior suitability without verified guidance.
