FAQs

What materials can I use these fixings with?

These fixings are suitable for most masonry substrates, including concrete and brickwork.

Can I remove and reuse these fixings?

While the screw head allows for adjustment, these fixings are generally not designed for frequent removal and reinstallation.

What type of drill bit do I need?

If pre-drilling is required, use a drill bit appropriate for the size of the fixing and the substrate material.

Are these fixings weather-resistant?

The zinc yellow passivated screw nail offers some corrosion resistance, but prolonged exposure to harsh weather conditions might affect its lifespan. Consider the environment when using this product.

What is the recommended load capacity?

Load capacity varies depending on the substrate and the size of the fixing. Always refer to the manufacturer's specifications for load-bearing information.

Can I use these fixings on drywall?

No, these fixings are specifically designed for masonry substrates and are not suitable for drywall.

How do I know what size fixing to use?

The size of the fixing should be determined by the load requirements and the thickness of the material being attached.

Troubleshooting

Fixing not gripping securely.

Ensure the correct size of fixing is used for the hole. Check the substrate for suitability. Consider using a larger fixing if necessary.

Screw head stripping during adjustment.

Use the correct size and type of Pozidrive screwdriver. Apply gentle but firm pressure while turning the screw.

Check the diameter of the hole. Ensure the hole is clear of debris. Try a different hammer or apply more force carefully.
