FAQs

What materials can I use this fixing with?

The Fischer HM-S is designed for use with all panel building materials with a thickness of 7 - 21 mm.

What is the drill hole size required?

You need a drill hole diameter of 1 cm.

Can I reuse the fixing?

Yes, the HM-S fixing allows for repeated removal and installation without reducing load-carrying properties.

What tools do I need for installation?

You will need a drill, and ideally fischer installation pliers HM-Z 1. Alternatively, you can use a screwdriver or cordless screwdriver.

What is the maximum load capacity?

The load capacity depends on the specific application and the board building material. Please refer to the product specifications for load-bearing information.

What items can I hang with this fixing?

It is suitable for hanging items like lights, towel rails, and curtain rails.

What if the fixing doesn't expand properly?

Ensure the fixing is correctly placed and that you're using the appropriate tool (pliers or screwdriver) to expand it. Check for obstructions in the wall cavity.

Troubleshooting

The fixing is spinning in the hole.

Ensure the drill hole is the correct diameter (1 cm). If the hole is too large, use a larger fixing or fill the hole before re-drilling.

The item is not secure after installation.

Verify that the expanding arms have fully engaged behind the board material. Check that the screw is tightened correctly.

The fixing is difficult to install.

Make sure you are using the correct tools, like the fischer installation pliers HM-Z 1, or a screwdriver/cordless screwdriver for installation. Ensure the hole is clean and free of debris.
