The plastic toggle consists of ___ legs attached to a body that has a hole through the center and fins on its side to prevent turning during installation.

• A. Two
• B. Three
• C. Four
• D. Five

Answer: (C)

Four legs give the plastic toggle a stable, spread-out grip behind the wall, which helps distribute the load and resist pullout better than fewer legs. The body has a hole through its center so a screw can pass through and thread into the anchor, anchoring the fixture. Fins on the side are there to prevent the body from turning as you tighten, keeping the anchor aligned so the screw engages cleanly. As you install, the legs spread behind the wall and the screw pulls them tight, creating a secure hold for the fixture.
