FAQs

What size drill bit do I need for these wall plugs?

You will need a 10mm drill bit to create the correct size hole for these 10mm wall plugs.

What type of screws can I use with these plugs?

These plugs are designed for use with M8 coach screws, with a maximum length of 80mm.

Can I use these plugs in drywall?

No, these heavy-duty nylon wall plugs are designed for solid masonry materials like brick and concrete. They are not suitable for drywall or plasterboard.

Why does the plug have a flange?

The flanged head prevents the plug from being pushed too far into the drilled hole, ensuring it remains seated properly against the surface for a secure fixing.

How many wall plugs are in this pack?

This pack contains 50 heavy-duty nylon wall plugs.

What are these plugs best used for?

They are ideal for fixing satellite dishes to brickwork and other general heavy-duty masonry fixing applications where a strong and reliable anchor is needed.

Troubleshooting

Plug is too loose in the hole

Ensure you used a 10mm drill bit. If the hole is slightly larger due to brick condition, you may need to use a slightly larger plug or consider an alternative fixing method.

Plug won't insert fully

Check that the drilled hole is deep enough and free from debris. Ensure you are not encountering rebar or exceptionally hard aggregate. A gentle tap with a hammer should suffice.

Coach screw won't tighten securely

Verify the coach screw is M8 and not longer than 80mm. Ensure the plug is correctly seated. If the masonry is very soft or crumbling, the plug may not find sufficient purchase. Consider using multiple plugs if the design allows, or a different type of fixing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Select the appropriate location on your masonry surface.
Using a 10mm masonry drill bit, drill a hole to the desired depth, ensuring it is clean and straight.
Insert the 10mm x 80mm wall plug into the drilled hole. It should fit snugly. Tap gently with a hammer if needed, but do not force it.
The flanged head should sit flush against the wall surface.
Insert your M8 coach screw (up to 80mm length) through the item you wish to fix and into the wall plug.
Tighten the coach screw securely. The plug will expand within the masonry to create a strong hold.

Compatibility:

Compatible with M8 coach screws up to 80mm in length.
Requires a 10mm drill bit.
Suitable for solid masonry materials such as brick, concrete, and stone.
*Not* recommended for use in drywall, plasterboard, or hollow materials.

Care:
