Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Preparation: Identify the object to be mounted and its weight. Choose the appropriate Gripit fixing size based on the weight capacity.
- Drilling: Using a drill, create a hole in the plasterboard according to the size specified in the instructions for the chosen fixing.
- Inserting the Fixing: Insert the Gripit fixing into the drilled hole.
- Tapping: Use a plastic mallet to tap the wings of the fixing open, if required.
- Turning: Insert the screw or bolt and turn until the fixing is secure against the plasterboard.
- Mounting: Attach the object to the installed fixing.
Compatibility
The Gripit fixings are designed for use with plasterboard walls. Ensure that the plasterboard is in good condition and is of standard thickness. Not suitable for other wall types.
Care
