Product Information

Full details

The Plasplugs Super Grips Brown Multi-Purpose Fixings are designed for DIY enthusiasts and professionals needing a robust solution for mounting items in solid walls. Their key benefit is a superior hold in brick, concrete, and stone thanks to expanding barrels and six grip points. A minor caveat is that they are specifically for solid wall materials and not suitable for hollow walls.

FAQs

What type of wall can I use these fixings in?

These fixings are designed for solid walls, including brick, concrete, and stone. They are not suitable for plasterboard or hollow walls.

What size drill bit do I need?

The exact drill bit size required will be specified on the product packaging. Always refer to the packaging for the most accurate guidance.

Do I need to use a specific type of screw?

You should use a screw that is compatible with the wall plug and the item you are mounting. The screw length needs to be sufficient to pass through the item, the wall plug, and securely engage its expanding mechanism within the wall.

Can these be used outdoors?

While durable, their primary intended use is for general household applications. For exposed outdoor environments, consider fixings specifically rated for outdoor weather resistance.

How many fixings are in a pack?

This pack contains 500 Plasplugs Super Grips Brown Multi-Purpose Fixings.

What is the maximum weight these fixings can hold?

The maximum weight capacity depends heavily on the specific wall material and the screw used. Always test the strength of the fixing with a moderate load before applying the full weight.

Troubleshooting

Fixing does not hold securely.

Ensure the hole drilled is the correct size for the plug and that it is clean. Verify the wall material is solid and not hollow. Check that the correct screw type and size are being used and that it has fully engaged the expanding mechanism.

Fixing spins when inserting the screw.

The hole may be slightly too large, or the wall material might be crumbling. Try a slightly larger drill bit to create a snugger fit, or consider using a different type of fixing if the wall integrity is compromised.

Fixing is difficult to insert.

Ensure the hole is clean and free of debris. If resistance is very high, the hole may be slightly undersized. Do not force the fixing; re-drill the hole with the correct size bit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Determine Fixing Size: Select the appropriate drill bit size recommended for the Plasplugs Super Grips. This information is typically found on the product packaging.
  2. Drill Hole: Drill a clean, straight hole into the solid wall (brick, concrete, stone) to the required depth and diameter.
  3. Clean Hole: Remove any dust or debris from the drilled hole.
  4. Insert Fixing: Gently push the wall plug into the drilled hole until it is flush with the wall surface.
  5. Drive Screw: Insert the appropriate screw (not included) through the item you wish to mount and into the wall plug. Tighten the screw until the fixing is secure and the item is firmly in place. Do not overtighten.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable For: Brick, concrete, solid stone, and similar dense building materials.
  • Not Suitable For: Plasterboard, hollow block walls, wood, or other lightweight materials.

Care:

These fixings are designed for permanent installation and require no ongoing care. Ensure they remain dry and protected from excessive corrosion if used in damp environments, though their primary use is typically indoors or in protected exterior areas.
