Product Information

Full details

The Rawlplug Plastic Mesh Sleeves (16 x 85mm) are essential for professionals and DIYers working with bonded anchors in hollow substrates like bricks or blocks. These sleeves provide a secure mechanical interlock, prevent resin from disappearing into voids, and ensure the threaded rod remains perfectly centered. While they are highly effective at optimizing resin usage, they are specifically engineered for use with M10 to M12 threaded rods, limiting their versatility if you require different anchor sizes.

FAQs

Can I use these in solid concrete?

These sleeves are specifically designed for hollow substrates; they are not necessary or recommended for solid concrete applications.

What is the diameter of the hole I need to drill?

You need to drill a 16mm diameter hole to accommodate the sleeve dimensions.

Are these compatible with non-Rawlplug threaded rods?

While they are designed for Rawlplug systems, they may fit other M10/M12 rods, but performance is only guaranteed with Rawlplug components.

Do I need to clean the hole before inserting the sleeve?

No, one of the primary benefits of this sleeve is that it does not require hole cleaning prior to installation.

How deep should I drill?

The sleeve is 85mm long; ensure your hole is at least 85mm deep to allow the sleeve to sit flush.

Troubleshooting

Sleeve does not fit into the drilled hole.

Verify that you are using a 16mm drill bit and that the hole is free of large debris or masonry obstructions.

Rod feels loose inside the sleeve after insertion.

Ensure that you are using the correct M10 or M12 threaded rod; smaller rods will not center correctly.

Resin is leaking out of the hole despite using the sleeve.

Check that the sleeve is fully seated in the hole and that you are not over-injecting the resin.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces resin consumption in hollow masonry
  • Ensures accurate rod positioning for structural integrity
  • Installation process is quick and requires no pre-cleaning
  • Durable plastic construction provides consistent performance

Cons

  • Compatible only with M10 and M12 threaded rods
  • Fixed dimensions (16mm x 85mm) limit use in thicker walls
  • Pack size of six may not be sufficient for large-scale projects

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure success, use a 16mm masonry drill bit to create the anchor hole. Slide the mesh sleeve into the hole until it is flush with the surface. Compatibility is restricted to Rawlplug `R-STUD` threaded rods in M10 or M12 sizes; using incorrect rod diameters will cause misalignment. No maintenance is required after installation, but ensure that the resin has fully cured according to the manufacturer's curing chart before applying any load to the anchor. Store unused sleeves in a cool, dry place to prevent plastic brittleness over long periods.
