FAQs

What types of walls can I use these Plasplugs in?

These Plasplugs are specifically designed for use in plasterboard, hollow walls, cavity walls, and drywall.

What size drill bit should I use?

The specific drill bit size depends on the wall material and the specific plug model. Please refer to the usage instructions included with your pack for the recommended drill bit size.

What size screw do I need?

The recommended screw size (diameter and length) is provided in the instructions that come with the pack. Using the correct screw is crucial for the plug's performance.

Can I use these for very heavy items?

While these plugs offer a strong hold for drywall, for extremely heavy items or structural loads, it's advisable to consult a professional or use specialized anchors designed for such weights.

How many plugs come in a pack?

Each pack contains 50 Plasplugs wall plugs.

Do the plugs come with screws?

No, the packs contain only the wall plugs. You will need to provide your own screws of the appropriate size, as recommended in the instructions.

Can I reuse these plugs?

Plasplugs wall plugs are designed for single installation. Once a screw is driven in and removed, the plug may lose its anchoring ability.

Troubleshooting

Plug spins while inserting screw

Ensure the hole diameter is correct and that the anti-rotate ribs are fully engaged with the wall surface. If the hole is too large, you may need to use a different type of anchor or repair the hole.

Screw does not tighten properly

Verify that you are using the correct screw size and type as recommended in the instructions. The screw may be too short, too long, or have the wrong thread pitch for the plug.

Plug feels loose in the wall

Check that the correct drill bit size was used. If the hole is too large, the plug will not expand correctly. Ensure the plug is fully seated flush with the wall before inserting the screw.

Setup:

  3. Insert Plug: Gently push the Plasplugs wall plug into the drilled hole until it sits flush with the wall surface.
