FAQs

What materials are these fixings suitable for?

They are suitable for solid walls, brick, concrete, and stone.

What size hole do I need to drill?

You need to drill an 8mm hole.

Can I use these fixings on plasterboard?

No, these fixings are not recommended for use on plasterboard or hollow walls.

How do I remove a Diall PZ Countersunk Hammer Fixing?

Removal is difficult. The best method is to cut off the head and try to pull the remaining part with pliers.

What is the maximum load these fixings can support?

Load capacity depends on the material, the diameter, and the depth of the hole. Always refer to manufacturer guidelines for specific load ratings.

What is the advantage of the countersunk head?

The countersunk head allows for a flush finish, improving the aesthetics of the installation.

How do I prevent corrosion?

Ensure the fixings are stored in a dry place. In areas prone to moisture, consider using corrosion-resistant fixings.

Troubleshooting

Fixing won't go in.

Ensure the hole is the correct size (8mm) and clean of debris. If the material is too hard, consider using a different fixing method or a more powerful drill.

Fixing feels loose after installation.

Ensure the fixing is fully inserted and the nylon sleeve is expanded. Check if the hole is the correct size. In some cases, a longer fixing may be needed for a more secure grip.
