FAQs

What size drill bit do I need?

You need a 6 mm drill bit.

Can I use these plugs outdoors?

The DuoSeal is designed for wet areas, so it should withstand outdoor conditions. However, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight might affect the plug's material over time.

What type of screw should I use?

The Fischer DuoSeal comes with stainless steel screws, which are ideal for wet environments. Using a similar corrosion-resistant screw is recommended.

How do I remove the plug if I need to?

You can typically remove the plug by unscrewing the fixture, then using a screw to pull out the plug or using pliers.

Can I use the DuoSeal on drywall?

The DuoSeal is suitable for various materials, including drywall. Ensure the hole is drilled correctly and that the screw is not over-tightened.

What is the material of the plug?

The plug is made of high-quality nylon.

Troubleshooting

Plug doesn't seem to hold the screw securely.

Ensure the drill hole is the correct size (6mm) and free of debris. If the hole is too large, consider using a different type of wall plug.

Water is still leaking around the fixture.

Double-check that the plug is fully inserted and the screw is properly tightened. Ensure there are no gaps between the fixture and the wall.

Screw is difficult to tighten.

Make sure the screw is aligned with the plug. If the screw is too long it may bottom out, use a shorter screw.
