FAQs

What is the correct drill bit size?

Use an 8mm drill bit for the Fischer SX Plus 8mm x 40mm plugs.

What materials are these plugs suitable for?

They are suitable for autoclaved aerated concrete, brick, concrete, gypsum fibre board, and masonry.

Can I use these plugs outdoors?

Yes, but ensure you use screws that are suitable for outdoor applications and are corrosion-resistant.

How deep should I drill the hole?

The minimum drill hole depth should be at least 5cm, or deep enough to accommodate the plug and the screw.

What is the maximum screw diameter?

The maximum screw diameter should be 6 mm.

What does the 4-way expansion mean?

It means the plug expands in four directions when the screw is tightened, providing a more secure hold.

How do I prevent the plug from slipping into the hole?

The plug's edge prevents it from slipping deeper into the drill hole for secure installation.

What is the function of the fixing blades?

The fixing blades ensure pre-fixation of the screw, which means that it does not have to be additionally held in place for overhead applications.

Troubleshooting

Plug spins in the hole.

The drill hole may be too large. Try using a slightly larger screw or a different plug type if the issue persists.

The screw doesn't tighten.

The plug may not be expanding properly. Ensure the hole depth is sufficient and the plug is fully inserted. Try a different screw.

The mounted item feels loose.

The load may be too heavy for the plug. Consider using a larger plug or distributing the weight.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High load-bearing capacity for secure fixings.
  • Suitable for a wide range of solid and perforated materials.
  • Easy and fast installation with pre-positioned and push-through methods.
  • The plug's edge stops it from slipping deeper into the drill hole.
  • Noticeable tightening torque to prevent overtightening.

Cons

  • Requires proper drill hole size for optimal performance.
  • May not be suitable for all types of wall materials.
  • Users need to select the correct plug size for their specific application.
  • Overtightening can still potentially damage the material if not careful.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Drill the Hole: Use an 8mm drill bit for the 8mm x 40mm plugs. Ensure the hole is deep enough to accommodate the plug and the screw.
  2. Insert the Plug: Place the Fischer SX Plus plug into the drilled hole.
  3. Insert the Screw: Insert the screw through the item you are mounting and into the plug.
  4. Tighten the Screw: Tighten the screw until you feel the noticeable tightening torque, which indicates the plug is securely expanded.

Compatibility

The Fischer SX Plus plugs are compatible with:

  • Autoclaved aerated concrete
  • Brick
  • Concrete
  • Gypsum fibre board
  • Masonry

Use appropriate screws for the material and application. The screw diameter should be between 4.5mm and 6mm.

Care

  • Ensure that the drill hole is the correct diameter to ensure proper expansion.
  • Avoid overtightening the screw, which can damage the wall material.
  • Regularly check the mounted items for stability, especially with heavy loads.
