FAQs

What is the diameter of the disc?

The diameter is 35mm.

What material are the discs made from?

The discs are made from carbon steel.

What is the purpose of the zinc finish?

The zinc finish provides a layer of corrosion protection in suitable environments.

What size hole is required for the screw?

A 5.0mm hole is required.

Where can these discs be used?

They are ideal for holding insulation material to battens and for ceiling crack repairs.

Why is it important to tape and seal the disc head?

To prevent contact with wet plaster, which may result in surface damage.

What is the pack weight?

Troubleshooting

The disc is not sitting flush with the insulation.

Ensure the screw is not overtightened. Check for any obstructions preventing the disc from seating correctly. If necessary, slightly enlarge the hole in the insulation.

The disc is rusting.

The discs are only suitable for clean, dry, and low-humidity environments (Corrosion Rating 1). If rust is appearing, the environment may not be suitable. Ensure proper sealing and consider using a different material if necessary.

The insulation is pulling away from the disc.

Ensure you are using the correct screw length. The screw may be too short. Also, make sure the disc is the correct size for the job.
