FAQs
What size drill bit do I need?
Use a drill bit size appropriate for a 5mm plug, usually around 4.5mm.
Can I use these plugs in drywall?
No, these plugs are designed for use in solid substrates like brick and concrete. Use drywall anchors for drywall applications.
What type of screws should I use?
Use screws that are compatible with the plug size. Consider the fixture's weight when choosing screw length and diameter.
Are these plugs reusable?
In some cases, yes. If removed carefully, they can be reused. However, it's generally best to use new plugs for maximum holding power.
What is the weight capacity of these plugs?
The weight capacity varies depending on the wall material and screw used. Refer to the packaging for specific weight recommendations.
How do I remove the plugs if I need to?
Unscrew the fixture. Then, use a screw or a plug removal tool to extract the plug from the wall. Be careful not to damage the surrounding wall material.
Troubleshooting
Plug spins in the hole during screw insertion.
Ensure the drilled hole is the correct size. If it's too large, try a slightly larger screw or use a different plug type.
Screw doesn't tighten securely.
Check the screw length. The screw may be too short. Ensure the screw engages fully within the plug.
Plug breaks or cracks during installation.
Ensure you are using the correct drill bit size and applying consistent pressure during installation.
