FAQs

What is the recommended screw size?

The screw size depends on the item you are fixing and the required load-bearing capacity. Use screws with a diameter appropriate for the plug, and a length that fully engages the plug.

Can I use these plugs in outdoor applications?

Yes, they can be used outdoors, but ensure the screw is suitable for outdoor use to prevent corrosion.

What if the hole is too big?

If the hole is too large, the plug may not grip properly. Consider using a different plug designed for larger holes or filling the hole with a suitable filler before inserting the plug.

How do I remove the plug?

If the plug is not holding, try removing the screw and pulling the plug out with pliers or a screw extractor. If the plug is flush, you may need to use a screw to extract it.

Are these plugs reusable?

While it is possible to reuse them, performance may be compromised, especially in softer materials. It is best to use new plugs for critical applications.

What materials are these plugs suitable for?

These plugs are suitable for use in concrete, brickwork, stone, blockwork, plasterboard, and more.

What is the benefit of the lip on the plug?

The lip prevents the plug from slipping into oversized holes, ensuring a secure fit and preventing it from being lost inside the wall.

Troubleshooting

Plug spins in the hole during screw insertion.

Ensure the hole size is correct. If the hole is too large, consider using a slightly larger screw or a different plug type designed for more demanding applications.

Screw doesn't tighten properly.

Make sure the screw diameter is appropriate for the plug. Check if the screw is stripping the plug material. If so, try a different screw or a different plug.

Plug slips into the wall.

Ensure you are using the correct drill bit size for your wall material.

Pros and Cons

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Preparation: Choose the correct drill bit size (6mm) for the plug. Ensure the drill bit is appropriate for the wall material.
  2. Drilling: Drill a hole of the appropriate diameter and depth. Clean the hole to remove any debris.
  3. Insertion: Insert the Rawlplug UNO Universal Wall Plug into the hole. If needed, use a hammer to tap it flush with the surface.
  4. Fixing: Insert the screw through the item you are fixing and into the plug. Tighten until secure, but do not overtighten.

Care
