FAQs
Can I use these plugs in ceiling applications?
Yes, they can be used for light-duty overhead fixtures, provided the substrate is suitable and load limits are respected.
What size drill bit should I use?
Always match the drill bit diameter to the diameter of the wall plug specified on the packaging.
Are these suitable for bathroom tiles?
Yes, but ensure you use a masonry drill bit to get through the tile first before drilling into the substrate behind it.
Can I reuse the wall plugs?
It is recommended to use new plugs for each installation to ensure the structural integrity of the anchor is not compromised.
What is the primary material of the plugs?
The plugs are made from high-performance, durable plastic engineered for expansion.
Troubleshooting
Plug rotates when tightening the screw
The hole is likely too large or the anti-rotation fins are not fully engaged; try using a slightly smaller drill bit or ensure the hole is clear of dust.
Screw is difficult to drive into the plug
Verify that you are using the correct screw size provided with the kit, or ensure the hole was drilled deep enough to accommodate the full length of the screw.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure proper installation, always drill a hole equal to the diameter of the plug. Ensure the hole is cleared of dust or debris using a vacuum or blower to maximize friction. When installing, push the plug into the hole until it is completely flush with the surface of the wall. Avoid over-tightening the screw, as this can cause the plug to bulge or break the surface material. Store the remaining plugs in a cool, dry place to prevent plastic degradation over time.
