What materials can I use the Diall Flexi Plug in?
The Diall Flexi Plug is suitable for use in brick, concrete, plasterboard, and other common building materials.
Are the screws included with the plugs?
Yes, the Diall Flexi Plug comes with screws for immediate installation.
Can I use these plugs in outdoor applications?
Yes, the synthetic rubber material is corrosion-resistant, making it suitable for outdoor use.
What if the hole is too big?
The flexible design of the plug allows it to expand and grip, even in slightly oversized holes.
How do I choose the correct screw length?
Ensure the screw length is sufficient to go through the fixture and into the plug, but not too long to bottom out.
Can I reuse the plugs?
In many cases, yes. However, if the plug has been severely damaged or stretched, it's best to use a new one for optimal hold.
What is the recommended weight capacity?
Weight capacity depends on the material and size of the screw. Consult the product packaging for specific weight capacity recommendations for different materials.
Troubleshooting
Screw spins freely in the plug.
Ensure the hole is not too large. If necessary, use a slightly larger plug or a different type of anchor.
Plug doesn't stay in the hole.
Make sure the hole is clean from debris. If the hole is too large, consider a different fixing method.
Fixture feels loose after installation.
Tighten the screw further, but avoid over-tightening which can damage the plug or the fixture.
