Extended Product Information

FAQs

What materials can I use the DuoXpand with?

The Fischer DuoXpand is suitable for use in concrete, masonry, and aerated concrete.

What size drill bit do I need?

The drill bit size depends on the diameter of the DuoXpand fixing. Refer to the product packaging or specifications for the correct drill bit size.

Are these fixings load-bearing?

No, the Fischer DuoXpand is designed for non-load-bearing applications only.

What is the screw size included?

The included screw is a countersunk head screw 6.0 x 125 mm.

Can I use these fixings outdoors?

Yes, but ensure the materials are suitable for outdoor use and are protected from the elements.

How do I remove the fixings?

Unscrew the screw and remove the fixing from the material.

What is the DuoXpand made of?

The main body is made of high-quality nylon, and the screw is zinc-plated steel.

Where can I find more detailed information?

Consult the product packaging or the Fischer website for additional details and installation instructions.

Troubleshooting

Fixing is not secure.

Ensure the correct drill bit size was used. Check that the fixing is fully inserted and the screw is properly tightened. Consider using a longer fixing if the material is porous.

Screw spins and doesn't tighten.

The hole may be too large. Try using a slightly larger diameter fixing or fill the hole with a suitable filler before re-inserting the fixing.

Fixing is damaged during installation.

Ensure the drill is perpendicular to the surface. Avoid excessive force when tightening the screw. If damage has occurred, replace the fixing.

Fixing is not flush with the surface.

Ensure the countersunk screw is fully tightened and the head sits flush. If the screw is too long, it may prevent full insertion. If the hole is too shallow, deepen the hole.
