FAQs

What materials can I use these fixings with?

Rawlplug Hammer In Fixings are generally compatible with concrete, brick, and solid masonry.

How do I remove the fixings?

The helical thread and Phillips recess allow for nail removal. Use a screwdriver or similar tool to extract the nail.

What size fixing should I use?

Select the correct length and diameter based on the thickness of the material being fixed and the depth of embedment required.

Do I need to pre-drill a hole?

Depending on the base material, pre-drilling might be necessary. Check the product specifications for guidance.

Can I use these fixings outdoors?

The suitability for outdoor use depends on the specific environmental conditions. Check for corrosion resistance if used outdoors.

What is the maximum load these fixings can support?

Load-bearing capacity varies depending on the base material and the specific size of the fixing. Consult the manufacturer's specifications for load ratings.

Troubleshooting

Fixing won't go in

Check the hole size (if applicable) to ensure it is the correct diameter. Try a slightly larger hammer to provide more force. Ensure the base material is suitable.

Fixing is loose after installation

Verify the correct length and diameter of the fixing. Ensure the fixing is driven in flush. If the material is crumbly, consider using an alternative fixing method.

Head is damaged during installation

Use a hammer with a flat, clean striking surface. Avoid hitting the head at an angle.
