Extended Product Information

FAQs

What are these nylon plugs primarily used for?

They are ideal for securely fixing wall lights, shelves, and cupboards, and are often used with coach screws as satellite fixings.

What size drill bit do I need for these plugs?

You will need a 10mm diameter drill bit to create the anchor hole.

What is the minimum depth the hole should be?

The minimum required hole depth for optimal stability is 65mm.

Can I use any type of screw with these plugs?

No, these plugs are designed for screw gauges ranging from 14G to 18G and screw sizes between 6.0mm to 8.0mm.

How many plugs are included in this pack?

This bulk pack contains 150 nylon plugs.

What does 'rimless design' mean for usability?

The rimless design means the plug sits flush with the surface without an external rim, offering a cleaner aesthetic and simplifying installation.

Are these plugs suitable for outdoor use?

While they can be used in protected outdoor areas, nylon may degrade over time with prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and harsh weather conditions. For best results, use them in interior applications.

Troubleshooting

Plug does not fit snugly in the hole

Ensure the hole drilled is exactly 10mm in diameter and the minimum depth of 65mm has been achieved. Debris in the hole can also prevent a proper fit.

Screw does not tighten securely

Verify that the screw size and gauge are within the compatible range (6.0-8.0mm diameter, 14-18G). If the hole is too deep or the material is soft, the plug may not expand sufficiently.

Plug breaks during insertion

Check that the hole is clear of obstructions. Ensure you are not using excessive force. If the nylon feels brittle, it may be due to age or exposure to extreme cold.
