Masonmate Type E Nylon Plug - 8 x 40mm - 150 Pack - Grey

The specific weight capacity depends on the wall material and the screw used. MasonMate Type E Nylon Plugs are generally suitable for medium-duty applications like wall lights and shelving. Always test the fixing with a gentle pull before fully loading it.

These plugs require a minimum hole depth of 55mm. For very thin drywall without sufficient depth or a solid backing, these plugs may not provide adequate support. Consider specialized drywall anchors if this is the case.

The 'Type E' designation, along with its dimensions (8 x 40mm) and specific screw compatibility, defines its intended use. MasonMate offers various sizes and types for different applications and wall materials.

No special tool is typically required. The plugs can usually be tapped into the hole with a hammer. Ensure not to hit them too forcefully to avoid damaging them.

While nylon is a durable material, extreme weather conditions might affect longevity. They are often used with coach screws for satellite fixings, suggesting some suitability for outdoor use, but protection from direct, prolonged exposure to elements is recommended for best results.

The plugs accommodate screw gauges 10-14G with sizes 5.0-6.0mm. Typically, screws with countersunk or pan heads are used, depending on the fixture being attached.

Ensure the drilled hole is exactly 8mm in diameter and at least 55mm deep. Clear any dust or debris from the hole before inserting the plug.

Verify that the screw gauge and size are within the recommended range (10-14G, 5.0-6.0mm). If the hole is too large or the plug is damaged, remove it and insert a new one after re-drilling if necessary.

Check that the plug was inserted correctly and is flush with the wall. Ensure the correct screw size and type were used. If the wall material is weak, consider using a larger plug or a different type of fixing suitable for the material.
