FAQs
What materials are these plugs suitable for?
These plugs are suitable for brick, concrete, and various other building materials like vertically perforated brick, hollow blocks, and aerated concrete.
What size drill bit do I need?
You need a 1 cm drill bit.
What is the screw length for these plugs?
The screw length is calculated as plug length + fixture thickness + 1 x screw diameter.
Can I use these plugs with different screws?
While the included screws are ideal, you can use other screws, but ensure they are compatible with the plug and the fixture.
How do I prevent the plug from slipping into the hole?
The pronounced rim on the plug is designed to prevent it from slipping into the drill hole.
Are these plugs suitable for outdoor use?
The nylon material is generally suitable for outdoor use, but ensure the screw is rust-resistant if used outdoors.
What is the advantage of the four-way expansion?
The four-way expansion provides optimum force distribution in the material, and offers high load-bearing capacities in solid and hollow building materials.
Troubleshooting
The plug spins in the hole during screw insertion.
Ensure the drill hole is the correct diameter (1 cm) and free of debris. If the hole is too large, consider using a slightly larger plug or filling the hole with a suitable filler before re-drilling.
The screw doesn't tighten properly.
Check if the screw is the correct length. It should be long enough to fully engage the plug and the fixture. If the screw is too short, the fixture will not be secure.
The plug is not holding the weight.
Verify that the plug is installed in a suitable material and that the correct size and type of plug are used for the load. The load capacity depends on the material and the plug's anchorage depth.
