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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The pack of 20 Rawlplug Hammer in Fixings weighs 0.43 pounds.
Ensure the drilled hole is the correct diameter and depth. Clear any debris from the hole. Re-hammer firmly, ensuring a square strike.
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.
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.
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.
Setup:
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.
