FAQs

What type of wall can I use the Brown Super Grips on?

The Brown Super Grips are specifically designed for use in solid walls such as concrete and brick.

What screw sizes are compatible with the Brown Super Grips?

The Brown variant is suitable for heavy-duty applications and accepts screws ranging from No. 8 to No. 14 (4.5mm to 7mm).

Can I use these in plasterboard or hollow walls?

No, these Super Grips are only suitable for solid wall materials like concrete and brick. They will not provide adequate support in hollow walls.

How do I ensure a secure fixing?

Drill an appropriately sized hole, insert the Super Grip until flush, and then drive in the correct gauge screw. The plug expands to create a tight grip.

What is the difference between the Super Grip colors?

The colors typically denote different sizes and load capacities. The Brown variant is the heavy-duty option for larger screws in solid walls.

Do I need a special tool to insert them?

A hammer may be useful for tapping the plug fully into the hole, but the primary insertion relies on driving the screw.

Troubleshooting

Super Grip does not hold firmly

Ensure the hole was drilled to the correct size and depth for the specific Super Grip. Verify the wall material is indeed solid concrete or brick. Check that the screw size is within the recommended range (No. 8-14 for Brown).

Super Grip splits during insertion

The hole may be too small, or excessive force was used. Ensure the correct drill bit size is used and insert the Super Grip with firm, steady pressure. Do not force it if resistance is too high; re-drill the hole slightly larger if necessary.

Screw will not tighten

The hole may be too large, or the Super Grip is not fully seated. Ensure the Super Grip is flush with the wall surface. If the hole is oversized, try a slightly larger appropriate Super Grip or consider an alternative fixing method.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup Instructions:

  1. Drill Hole: Select a drill bit size appropriate for the Super Grip. Refer to packaging for exact dimensions, but typically slightly smaller than the plug's diameter.
  2. Drill Depth: Ensure the hole is drilled to a sufficient depth to accommodate the full length of the Super Grip.
  3. Insert Plug: Gently tap the Super Grip into the drilled hole until it is flush with the surface.
  4. Insert Screw: Drive the appropriate screw (No. 8-14 for Brown) into the Super Grip. The plug will expand, creating a secure fixing.

Compatibility:

  • Walls: Exclusively designed for concrete and brick solid walls.
  • Screws: Compatible with No. 8 to 14 gauge screws (4.5mm to 7mm diameter).

Care:

These fixings are designed for permanent installation. No ongoing care is typically required once installed. Ensure screws remain tight if the attached item is subject to movement or vibration.
