What materials are these plugs suitable for?
These plugs are designed for use in solid substrates such as brick and concrete.
Can I use these plugs in plasterboard?
These plugs are not recommended for use in plasterboard.
How many plugs are in a pack?

What is the size of the plug?
The plugs are 8mm x 40mm.
How do the anti-rotation fins work?
The fins prevent the plug from spinning inside the hole as you tighten the screw, ensuring a secure hold.
What should I do if the screw is too long?
If the screw is too long, the item you are mounting may not be flush against the wall. Try a shorter screw that fits the plug correctly.
Troubleshooting
The plug is spinning in the hole while tightening.
Ensure the hole is the correct size (8mm) and the anti-rotation fins are engaged. If the hole is too large, consider using a larger plug or filling the hole with an appropriate filler.
The screw does not tighten securely.
Make sure the screw is compatible with the plug. Check the screw length. The screw may be too short, or the plug may be damaged. Try a new plug and screw.
The plug breaks during installation.
Ensure you are using the correct drill bit size (8mm). Reduce the pressure when inserting the screw.
