FAQs
What is the difference between the Brown and Red plugs?
The Brown plugs are 7mm in diameter and 42mm in length, suitable for larger screws and more substantial fixings. The Red plugs are 5.5mm in diameter and 34mm in length, suitable for smaller screws.
Can I use these plugs in hollow walls like plasterboard?
Yes, these are universal plugs designed to work in both solid and hollow materials, including plasterboard. Ensure proper insertion for effective grip.
How many plugs are included in the pack?
The pack contains 96 wall plugs in total.
What type of screws should I use with these plugs?
You should use standard wood or multi-purpose screws that match the size of the plug and the item you are fixing. The screw should engage properly with the expanding part of the plug.
Are these suitable for outdoor use?
While the plugs are designed for durability, prolonged exposure to harsh outdoor elements may affect their performance over time. For critical outdoor applications, consider specialized exterior fixings.
Can I cut the plugs if they are too long?
It is not recommended to cut the plugs, as this can compromise their expansion and grip. It is better to ensure you are using the correct length plug for the application and wall depth.
Troubleshooting
Plug spins in the hole and won't tighten
The hole may be too large for the plug. Try using a slightly larger plug if available, or use a filler to secure the current plug. Ensure you are using the correct drill bit size for the plug.
Plug does not expand sufficiently
Ensure the screw being used is the correct size and type for the plug. Check that the screw is tightening and driving into the plug as expected. The material being drilled into might be too soft.
Difficulty inserting the plug into the hole
The drilled hole may be too small. Remove the plug and re-drill the hole with a slightly larger drill bit. Ensure no debris is obstructing the hole.
