Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure maximum strength, follow these installation guidelines:
- Drill the hole: Use an 8-9mm drill bit for standard plasterboard or cavity walls. For harder surfaces like ceramic tiles, a 10mm bit is recommended.
- Check surface thickness: These fixings are designed for wall thicknesses between 8mm and 15mm.
- Insert the plug: Tap the expansion plug into the hole until it is flush with the wall surface.
- Drive the screw: Use a standard screwdriver to insert the self-tapping screw. Ensure you do not overtighten, as this may damage the internal expansion mechanism of the plug.
Regular care is minimal; periodically check that the mounted hardware remains tight and that no gaps have formed around the plug entry point.
