FAQs
What drill bit size should I use?
Use an 8 mm drill bit for the Fischer DuoPower.
What materials can I use the DuoPower with?
It is suitable for autoclaved aerated concrete, brick, concrete, masonry, and plasterboard.
How deep should I drill the hole?
The minimum drill hole depth is 7.5 cm.
How do I prevent the plug from spinning?
Make sure you use the correct drill hole diameter (8 mm) and that the plug is inserted straight into the hole.
What if the screw won't tighten?
Check the screw size and type. It should be compatible with the DuoPower and the item you are mounting. Avoid over-tightening.
Can I use this for very heavy items?
The DuoPower is designed for various applications. Always consider the weight and material and choose the right anchor.
What's the advantage of the two-component design?
The two-component design allows the plug to automatically activate the optimal product function (expansion, folding, knotting) based on the building material for a better hold.
Troubleshooting
Plug spins in the hole during screwing.
Ensure the drill hole diameter is correct (8 mm). If the hole is too large, the plug may not grip properly. Try a different plug or fill the hole with an appropriate filler if it's too large.
Screw does not tighten properly.
Check if the correct screw type and size are being used. Over-tightening can strip the plug or damage the material. If the screw is too small, it may not grip.
Plug does not sit flush with the surface.
Ensure the hole is drilled to the correct depth. Tap the plug gently with a hammer if necessary to ensure it's flush.
Plug fails to hold the weight.
Verify that the plug is suitable for the material and weight. Consider using a higher-rated anchor for heavier loads or less dense materials.
