FAQs

What is the recommended drill bit size for the red plugs?

The red Forgefix plugs typically require a 6mm masonry drill bit.

Can I use these in drywall?

These expansion plugs are designed for masonry and brick; they are not recommended for hollow plasterboard or drywall.

Are these plugs reusable?

No, wall plugs are designed for a single-use application to ensure maximum holding power.

What screws are compatible?

They are compatible with most standard multipurpose, general-purpose, and coach screws.

How many come in a pack?

This pack contains 50 red expansion wall plugs.

Troubleshooting

The plug spins in the wall while tightening the screw

The hole is likely too large for the plug. Ensure you are using the correct diameter masonry drill bit for the red plug size.

Screw is difficult to drive into the plug

Ensure the screw diameter matches the recommended size for the plug and that the plug is fully seated into the wall.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Prevents rotation during installation for easier use
  • High-visibility color coding simplifies project organization
  • Designed for a firm, secure grip in masonry
  • Compatible with various standard screw types

Cons

  • Limited to lightweight fixing tasks only
  • Not suitable for use in soft or hollow materials like drywall without specific anchors
  • Requires proper drill bit sizing for an effective fit

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results, always drill a hole to the depth of the plug plus an additional 5-10mm to account for dust accumulation. These plugs are compatible with most standard threaded screws. To maintain the life of your fixings, ensure that you are not over-tightening, as this can strip the plastic threads. These wall plugs are designed for indoor and outdoor use in masonry, but should be kept in a dry environment if stored in bulk to prevent material degradation over long periods.
