Extended Product Information

FAQs

What types of building materials can the DuoLine set be used with?

The set is highly versatile and can be used with a wide range of materials including concrete, brickwork, plasterboard, and various types of solid, perforated, and cavity building materials.

How does the DuoPower dowel adapt to different materials?

The DuoPower dowel automatically adjusts its function based on the building material. In solid materials, it expands, while in cavities, it forms a knot, ensuring optimal holding power in both scenarios.

Is the DuoBlade dowel suitable for all types of walls?

The DuoBlade is a self-drilling dowel designed for precise attachment without pre-drilling in many common materials. However, for extremely hard materials like reinforced concrete, pre-drilling might still be advisable.

What is the benefit of the DuoTec tilt dowel?

The DuoTec tilt dowel is specifically designed for use in tight, insulated cavities. Its low borehole diameter and short tilting element allow for high load capacity in panel building materials where space is limited.

How many pieces are included in this set?

The comprehensive set includes a total of 713 parts, consisting of various sizes and types of DuoPower, DuoTec, and DuoBlade dowels.

Can I purchase individual types of dowels from this set separately?

This specific product is a comprehensive set. While individual Fischer dowel types may be available separately, this particular listing (574401) is for the complete 713-piece collection.

Is the Tanos box stackable or connectable?

Yes, the Tanos box included in this set is designed to be combinable, allowing it to be connected with other Tanos boxes for organized storage and transport.

Troubleshooting

Dowel does not expand or grip properly

Verify that the correct dowel type was used for the specific building material. Ensure the drilled hole is the correct diameter and depth as recommended for the dowel. Check for any debris within the borehole.

DuoBlade self-drilling tip is not penetrating the material

Ensure the drill bit is suitable for the material (e.g., masonry bit for brick). Apply consistent pressure and sufficient drill speed. For very hard materials, a pilot hole might still be necessary if the material exceeds the DuoBlade's intended application range.

Difficulty inserting dowel

Confirm the drilled hole is clean and the correct size. If resistance is encountered, check for obstructions. For some materials, a light tap with a hammer may be needed, but avoid excessive force that could damage the dowel or material.

Tanos box compartments are difficult to manage

Ensure the box is properly closed and latched. The combinable nature of the Tanos system requires correct alignment for secure connection and access.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers exceptional versatility for a wide range of construction and repair tasks.
  • Includes multiple advanced dowel types for optimal performance in different materials.
  • High-quality components ensure reliable and secure fastenings.
  • The included Tanos box provides excellent organization and portability.
  • Saves time with self-drilling and auto-adapting dowel technologies.

Cons

  • The large quantity of pieces may be excessive for users with only occasional, small-scale needs.
  • Requires basic understanding of different dowel types for optimal application.
  • Initial investment might be higher compared to single-purpose fastener packs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure you select the appropriate dowel type (DuoPower, DuoTec, DuoBlade) based on your building material and the required load. For DuoPower and DuoTec, drill a hole of the specified diameter and depth, then insert the dowel. For DuoBlade, use a standard drill to create the initial hole for the self-drilling tip. Follow recommended torque settings for screws where applicable.

Compatibility: This set is designed for use with standard metric screws and standard drilling tools. The dowels are engineered to work effectively in solid, perforated, and cavity building materials including concrete, brick, plasterboard, and wood-based panels.

Care: Store the set in its original Tanos box in a dry environment to prevent corrosion or damage to the components. Regularly check the box for any loose parts and ensure all compartments are properly closed. Clean any dust or debris from the dowels and biscuits before storage.
