TIMco Premium Plastic Plugs - Brown - 42mm

These premium plugs offer improved pull-out loads and feature anti-rotation fins for greater security and stability, especially in overhead applications.

You will need a 7.0mm diameter drill bit.

They are designed for screws with a diameter of 4.5mm to 6.0mm (equivalent to 8-12 imperial gauge).

Yes, the anti-rotation fins are specifically designed to prevent the plug from spinning and dropping out during overhead installation.

They are suitable for solid walls like brick and concrete, and also for certain plasterboard applications. Always ensure the substrate is sound for secure fixing.

The fins on the plug grip the sides of the drilled hole, preventing the plug from spinning freely during screw insertion and holding it firmly in place, especially on overhead or angled surfaces.

It means the plugs are supplied individually, not attached to a sprig or frame, making them ready for immediate use on site and speeding up the installation process.

Ensure the drill hole diameter is precisely 7.0mm. Verify the anti-rotation fins are not obstructed. Try a different plug if the hole appears oversized.

Confirm the drilled hole depth meets the minimum requirement of 47mm. Ensure the hole is clear of debris. Check if the plug is damaged.

Verify the correct screw size (4.5mm-6.0mm diameter) is being used. Ensure the plug is fully inserted and flush with the surface. Check the substrate material for suitability.

Confirm the anti-rotation fins are correctly engaged with the substrate. Ensure the hole is drilled to the correct depth and cleared of dust, allowing the fins to grip effectively.
