Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum weight this plug can hold?

The load-bearing capacity depends on the specific building material and the screw used. Refer to the technical data sheet for detailed information on load capacities for different materials like concrete, brick, and gypsum block.

Are screws included with the Fischer 524864 plug?

No, screws are not included with this product. You will need to purchase suitable screws separately, ensuring they match the plug's dimensions and the requirements of your application.

What is the difference between the green and grey Fischer SX plugs?

The green SX plug is made from at least 50% renewable raw materials and offers the same high load-bearing performance as the traditional grey version, providing a more sustainable option.

Can I use this plug for outdoor applications?

While the plug itself is durable, its suitability for outdoor use depends on the specific environmental conditions and the materials being fastened. For critical outdoor applications, consult Fischer's product range for specialized outdoor anchors.

What is the minimum drill hole depth required?

The minimum recommended drill hole depth is 70 mm.

What building materials is this plug suitable for?

It is suitable for autoclaved aerated concrete, brick, concrete, and gypsum block.

How do I ensure the plug is installed correctly?

Drill the correct size hole, clean it, insert the plug until the rim is flush, and then insert and tighten the screw. The pronounced rim prevents slippage, and the expansion mechanism provides holding power.

Troubleshooting

Plug does not feel secure after tightening screw

Ensure the drill hole diameter and depth are correct as per specifications. Check that the correct screw size and type are being used. Verify the building material is suitable for this type of anchor.

Plug slips into the drill hole during insertion

Ensure the plug's pronounced rim is correctly positioned against the surface. If the hole is slightly oversized, consider using a slightly larger diameter plug or a different anchoring method.

Tile or plaster cracked around the plug

This is typically caused by excessive expansion force. Ensure the expansion-free plug neck feature is functioning correctly and that the screw is not overtightened. Verify the material's suitability for expansion plugs.
