FAQs

What types of DuoPower plugs are included in the Master-Box XL?

The Fischer Master-Box XL (White, 280 pcs) includes 30 x DuoPower 5x25, 140 x DuoPower 6x30, 80 x DuoPower 8x40, and 30 x DuoPower 10x50.

Can I use these plugs in hollow walls?

Yes, the Fischer DuoPower plugs are designed to work effectively in various construction materials, including hollow ceilings and plasterboard, by expanding or folding behind the surface.

How do I know which size plug to use?

Refer to the specific installation requirements for the object you are mounting. Generally, lighter objects can use smaller plugs, while heavier objects require larger ones. Always consult Fischer's technical documentation for precise load capacities.

Is the container stackable?

The product description does not specify if the container is designed for stacking. It is primarily designed for clear visibility and organization within a workshop or vehicle.

What are the benefits of the 2-component DuoPower technology?

The 2-component design allows the plug to intelligently adapt its function (expanding or folding) based on the building material, ensuring optimal anchoring and improved load-bearing capacity with reduced installation effort.

How do I clean the Master-Box XL?

You can clean the plastic container and transparent cover with a damp cloth. Ensure it is dry before storing the dowels to prevent moisture buildup.

What is the difference between this white box and the red Master-Box XL?

The white Master-Box XL (280 pcs) contains specific sizes of DuoPower plugs. The red Master-Box XL (210 pcs) contains a different assortment, likely focusing on different applications or quantities.

Troubleshooting

Dowel does not feel secure after installation.

Ensure the correct drill bit size was used for the dowel and the building material. Verify that the drill hole was clean and free of debris. For plasterboard, ensure the plug has properly expanded or folded behind the board.

Dowel slips into the drill hole.

Check if the dowel edge is fully engaged. The narrow dowel edge is designed to prevent this, but ensure the hole is not excessively large. Try a slightly larger dowel if the material is very porous.

Difficulty inserting the screw.

Confirm the correct dowel and screw combination is being used. Ensure the dowel is fully seated in the wall and not obstructed. Clean any debris from inside the dowel.

Container lid is difficult to close.

Ensure dowels are properly seated within their compartments and not protruding. Check for any foreign objects obstructing the lid.
