Full details
The Rawlplug Rawlbolt Loose Bolt is designed for professional contractors and DIY enthusiasts who require a heavy-duty, secure anchoring solution for masonry and concrete installations. Its primary benefit is the reliable expansion grip it provides, ensuring stable load-bearing capabilities for a variety of fixtures. However, users should be aware that this specific anchor requires precise drilling of an 11mm diameter hole to ensure correct installation and maximum pull-out resistance.

FAQs
What drill bit size do I need for this Rawlbolt?
You must use an 11mm diameter drill bit for this specific model.
Can I reuse the Rawlbolt after removing the bolt?
The expansion shield remains in the wall, so you can reinsert the bolt, provided the threads are not damaged and the shield has not shifted.
Is this bolt suitable for brickwork?
It is designed for solid masonry and concrete. It is not recommended for hollow bricks as the expansion mechanism requires solid walls to grip against.
How deep should I drill the hole?
You should drill deep enough to accommodate the shield length plus a small margin for drill dust to ensure the bolt can be fully inserted.
What does M10 mean?
M10 refers to the metric thread diameter of 10mm, which is the standard size for the bolt shaft.
Troubleshooting
Bolt spins in the hole without tightening
The hole is likely too large or the masonry is too soft; ensure the drill bit is exactly 11mm and the substrate is solid concrete or stone.
Bolt is difficult to insert into the hole
Ensure the hole is clear of drilling dust and the drill bit is not worn down; tap the shield gently with a hammer if necessary, but do not force it.
Pros and Cons
Pros

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, select a masonry drill bit sized exactly to 11mm. Ensure the hole is drilled to the depth required to accommodate the 50mm shield plus any debris space. After drilling, use an air blower or vacuum to remove dust from the hole, as loose material can interfere with the expansion process. When tightening, apply steady torque until you feel the bolt seat firmly. For long-term maintenance, periodically check the bolt for signs of oxidation if used in humid environments, and ensure the torque remains consistent if the fixture is subject to heavy vibration.
