FAQs

What is the maximum screw diameter I can use with these plugs?

These TIMco Plastic Plugs are designed to accommodate screw diameters from 4.0mm up to 6.0mm.

What size drill bit do I need?

You will need a 7mm drill bit for creating the pilot hole.

What is the minimum depth required for the drill hole?

The minimum recommended drill hole depth is 45mm to ensure adequate holding power.

Can I use these plugs in plasterboard?

No, these plugs are specifically designed for concrete and masonry substrates. They are not suitable for plasterboard.

What kind of applications are these plugs best for?

They are ideal for medium and lightweight applications, such as mounting shelves, light fixtures, and decorative items.

How many plugs come in a box?

Each box contains 100 plastic plugs.

Why is the color important?

The brown color helps to provide a discreet installation, blending in with many common building materials.

Troubleshooting

Plug does not fit securely into the drill hole.

Ensure the drill hole is precisely 7mm in diameter and at least 45mm deep. Clean all dust from the hole. If the substrate is very soft, consider using a slightly smaller drill bit for a tighter fit.

Screw does not tighten properly in the plug.

Verify that the screw diameter is within the 4.0mm to 6.0mm range. Check that the plug is fully seated and flush with the surface. If the hole was drilled too large or in a crumbly material, the plug may not have sufficient grip.

Plug feels loose after screw insertion.

This may indicate the substrate material is too soft for the plug or the drill hole was not created correctly. Ensure the minimum depth is met and try re-drilling with a clean bit if necessary. For softer materials, a plug designed for that specific substrate might be more appropriate.
