FAQs

What materials can I use the Fischer DuoTec with?

The Fischer DuoTec is suitable for use with gypsum fibre board and plasterboard.

What size drill bit do I need?

You will need a 10mm drill bit.

What is the maximum panel thickness the DuoTec can handle?

The DuoTec can handle a maximum panel thickness of 55 mm.

Are the screws included with the DuoTec?

Yes, the Fischer DuoTec comes with panhead screws.

Can I use different types of screws?

Yes, the flexible screw mount allows for the use of screws and hooks with different thread shapes, but the screw diameter should not exceed 5 mm.

What is the load capacity of the Fischer DuoTec?

The load capacity depends on the panel material and the specific application. Please refer to the product specifications for details.

How do I remove the DuoTec if I need to?

Unscrew the item, then unscrew the screw from the toggle bolt. The toggle can then be pushed through the hole or broken off behind the panel.

Troubleshooting

The toggle bolt doesn't seem to be gripping.

Ensure the panel thickness is within the specified range, and the drill hole is clean and the correct size. Make sure the toggle fully deploys behind the panel.

The screw spins and doesn't tighten.

Check if the toggle is properly deployed. If not, remove the bolt and re-insert ensuring the toggle mechanism is activated behind the panel. If the hole is stripped, consider using a slightly larger screw or filling the hole with a suitable filler material.

The toggle bolt is not flush with the wall.

Ensure the panel thickness is within the DuoTec's specifications. If the panel is too thick, the bolt may not sit flush. Verify you have pre-installed the white flush sleeve.
