FAQs

What is the weight capacity of the Molly Hammer Fixing M8x120mm?

This fixing is rated to hold up to 200kg, but this capacity is dependent on the substrate material and correct installation.

What material is this fixing made from?

It is made from durable nylon, designed for longevity and strength.

What size drill bit do I need for this fixing?

The recommended drill bit size is typically around 10-12mm. Always check the product packaging for the most accurate specification.

Can I use this fixing in solid brick or concrete?

While it can be used in solid materials, it is primarily designed for plasterboard and hollow wall applications. For solid masonry, standard masonry plugs are often more suitable.

How do I remove the fixing if needed?

You can typically grip the plug with pliers and twist or pull it out. If the screw is still in, unscrew it first, then attempt removal.

What does the zigzag design do?

The zigzag pattern allows the plug to expand more effectively as the screw is inserted, creating a more secure and stable anchor within the wall cavity.

Is this fixing suitable for outdoor use?

Nylon is generally weather-resistant, but prolonged exposure to harsh outdoor conditions may affect its long-term integrity. For critical outdoor applications, consider fixings specifically designed for external environments.

Troubleshooting

Fixing does not go in easily

Ensure the drilled hole is the correct diameter. If the hole is too small, the plug may not enter. If too large, it will not grip securely.

Fixing feels loose after hammering

The hole may be too large for the material, or the material itself might be too soft. Try a fixing with a larger diameter or consider a specialized fixing for that material type.

Screw does not tighten properly

Ensure the screw is the correct size and type for the fixing. Check that the plug is fully seated and expanded within the wall cavity.

Fixing spins when trying to screw into it

The plug has not expanded properly or the hole is too large. Remove the plug and re-attempt with a correct-sized hole or consider an alternative fixing method.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Determine the appropriate drill bit size for the M8 fixing (refer to product packaging for exact specifications, typically around 10-12mm).
  2. Drill a clean hole into the wall material to the required depth.
  3. Insert the Molly Hammer Fixing plug into the hole. It should fit snugly.
  4. Using a hammer, gently tap the fixing until it is flush with the wall surface.
  5. Insert the appropriate screw (included with the fixing) and tighten to secure your item.

Compatibility:

  • Ideal for plasterboard, hollow-core doors, and composite board.
  • Can also be used in solid materials like concrete or brick, though traditional masonry plugs might be more efficient for these.
  • Ensure the material thickness accommodates the full length of the 120mm fixing.

Care:

  • Nylon fixings are generally maintenance-free.
  • Avoid exposing the fixings to excessive solvents or chemicals that could degrade the nylon.
  • Periodically check the security of items attached to ensure they remain firmly in place.
