Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the correct drill bit size?

The correct drill bit size is 10mm.

What materials are these plugs suitable for?

They are suitable for autoclaved aerated concrete, brick, concrete, gypsum block, gypsum fiber board, and plasterboard.

What is the maximum screw diameter?

The maximum screw diameter is 8mm.

Do I need to use a specific type of screw?

Use screws with a diameter between 6mm and 8mm. The screw type depends on your application.

What is the purpose of the rim?

The rim prevents the plug from slipping during assembly and helps it sit flush against the wall surface.

Can I use these plugs for very heavy items?

While these plugs provide a strong hold, assess the load and material. For very heavy items, consider using a different type of fixing designed for greater weight capacity.

How deep should I drill the hole?

The minimum drill hole depth should be 7.5cm.

What if the plug is too short?

The plug should be the correct length for the thickness of the item being mounted and the depth of the hole. If it's too short, it may not provide a secure hold.

Troubleshooting

Plug spins in the hole during screw insertion.

Ensure the drill hole is the correct diameter (10mm). Use a screw with a head that fits the plug correctly. If the issue persists, try a slightly larger screw or consider a different type of plug.

The plug is not holding the screw securely.

Check if the plug is fully inserted into the hole. Verify that the screw diameter is compatible (6mm - 8mm). The material might not be suitable for the load, or the screw is too long or too short.

Plug breaks or deforms during installation.

Ensure the hole is drilled straight. Avoid using excessive force. If installing in a hard material, consider pre-drilling a pilot hole for the screw.
