FAQs

What size drill bit do I need?

You will need a 1 cm drill bit for the Fischer HM-S fixing.

What is the maximum panel thickness the HM-S can accommodate?

The HM-S can be used with panels up to 2.1 cm thick.

Can I use the HM-S in solid walls?

No, the HM-S is designed for use in hollow walls or panel building materials only.

Can I remove and reattach the item I am mounting?

Yes, the metric internal thread allows for multiple removals and refittings.

What tools do I need to install the HM-S?

You will need a drill, a screwdriver or cordless screwdriver, or the Fischer installation pliers HM-Z 1.

What materials is the HM-S suitable for?

Gypsum fibre board, Plasterboard, Cavity floor slabs, Light building boards made of wood wool, Chipboard, and Plywood boards.

Can I use the HM-S for heavy objects?

The HM-S can hold a significant amount of weight, but it's essential to consider the weight of the object and the panel material's strength. Consult the product specifications for load capacity.

Troubleshooting

The fixing is rotating when tightening the screw.

Ensure the claws on the edge of the fixing are properly engaged with the panel material during installation. If the hole is too large, consider using a larger diameter fixing or filling the hole with a suitable material.

The fixing does not seem secure after installation.

Double-check that the expanding arms are fully expanded against the back of the panel. Ensure the panel thickness is within the specified range for the HM-S fixing. If using a screwdriver or cordless screwdriver, make sure the expansion is complete.

The screw is difficult to tighten.

Make sure the screw is properly aligned with the internal thread of the HM-S fixing. Do not force the screw; if resistance is felt, back it out and try again. Ensure that the correct screw length is used.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High load-bearing capacity due to the expanding arms.
  • Suitable for various panel thicknesses (3-50 mm).
  • Allows for multiple removals and refittings of the screw.

  • Easy to install with readily available tools.

Cons

  • Requires a specific installation method (pliers, screwdriver, or cordless screwdriver).
  • Not suitable for solid walls.
  • Installation may require pre-drilling the correct size hole.
  • May not be suitable for extremely heavy objects, depending on the panel material and thickness.
  • Requires the correct size and type of drill bit for installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Preparation: Determine the correct drill hole diameter (1 cm) for the HM-S fixing.
  2. Drilling: Drill a hole of the appropriate diameter into the panel material.
  3. Insertion: Insert the HM-S fixing into the drilled hole.
  4. Expansion: Use the Fischer installation pliers HM-Z 1, a screwdriver, or a cordless screwdriver to expand the arms of the fixing, securing it against the back of the panel.
  5. Attachment: Insert the screw through the item you want to mount and tighten it into the HM-S fixing.

Compatibility:

The HM-S is compatible with the following materials:

  • Gypsum fiberboard
  • Plasterboard
  • Cavity floor slabs
  • Light building boards made of wood wool
  • Chipboard
  • Plywood boards

Care:

  • Ensure the fixing is installed correctly, with the expanding arms fully expanded against the back of the panel, to maximize load-bearing capacity.
  • Do not overtighten the screw, as this could damage the panel material or the fixing.
  • Regularly check the mounted item for stability, especially for heavier objects.
