FAQs

What is the maximum thickness of material this fixing can hold?

The maximum fixing thickness for this particular product is 60mm. Ensure you select a fixing length that accounts for the combined thickness of the material being fixed and the required embedment depth into the base material.

Can these fixings be used in hollow walls?

These hammer-in fixings are primarily designed for solid base materials like concrete and brick. For hollow walls or blockwork, a different type of anchor, such as a cavity wall anchor, would be more appropriate.

How do I ensure the correct hole size?

Consult the product packaging or Rawlplug's technical specifications for the recommended drill bit size for the 7.9mm diameter fixing. It's crucial to use the correct size for optimal grip.

Can I drive these fixings with a nail gun?

It is not recommended to use a nail gun for these fixings. They are designed to be installed with a hammer for controlled impact and seating.

What does 'push-through installation' mean?

Push-through installation means that the fixing is inserted through the item being attached and into the pre-drilled hole in the base material. The entire fixing, including the nail, goes into the hole.

How do I remove the nail if I need to disassemble?

Use a Phillips screwdriver to engage the recess on the nail head and turn it while simultaneously pulling the nail outwards. For stubborn nails, a claw hammer might be necessary.

What is the weight of the pack?

The pack of 20 Rawlplug Hammer in Fixings weighs 0.43 pounds.

Troubleshooting

Fixing does not seat fully

Ensure the drilled hole is the correct diameter and depth. Clear any debris from the hole. Re-hammer firmly, ensuring a square strike.

Fixing becomes loose over time

This may indicate the base material is not suitable or the fixing was not installed correctly. Re-evaluate the base material and consider a different type of fixing if necessary. Ensure the correct size was used for the application's load requirements.

Hammering damages the surface around the fixing

Use a controlled hammer strike. Protect delicate surfaces with a piece of wood or cardboard if necessary. Ensure the correct fixing size is used; an oversized fixing might require excessive force.

Nail is difficult to remove

Use a Phillips screwdriver to turn the nail while pulling it out. If the nail head is damaged, a claw hammer may be required, but this could cause more damage to the surrounding material.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly speeds up installation time.
  • Allows for future disassembly if needed.
  • Wide range of sizes ensures suitability for many tasks.
  • Easy to use, requiring only a hammer.
  • Cost-effective for bulk applications.

Cons

  • Requires a hammer for installation, which can cause surface damage if not careful.
  • Not suitable for all types of base materials (e.g., very soft or very brittle materials).
  • Removal, while possible, may not be as clean as screw-based fixings.
  • Specific hole preparation might be needed for optimal performance.
  • Can be difficult to remove if over-hammered or in certain materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Drill a hole in the base material with a diameter corresponding to the fixing's shank (refer to product specifications for exact drill bit size).
  2. Ensure the hole is clean and free from debris.
  3. Insert the Rawlplug Hammer in Fixing into the pre-drilled hole. The nail should protrude slightly.
  4. Using a hammer, strike the head of the nail firmly and squarely until the fixing is fully seated and flush with the surface.

Compatibility:

These fixings are designed for use in solid base materials such as concrete, brick, and solid stone. They are generally not recommended for use in hollow blockwork, drywall, or plasterboard without appropriate backup. Always check the load-bearing capacity required for your application and compare it with the fixing's specifications.

Care:

Store fixings in a dry environment to prevent corrosion. Clean any dust or debris from the installation area after use. No specific maintenance is required for the fixings themselves once installed.
