FAQs

What size drill bit do I need?

You will need a 10mm drill bit.

What kind of screws should I use?

The DuoTec 10 S comes with the appropriate screws: 5.0 x 60 countersunk screw.

Can I use the DuoTec 10 S in solid walls?

Yes, it functions as an expansion plug in solid building materials.

What is the maximum load capacity?

The product information does not specify the maximum load capacity. It is recommended to check the packaging or product specifications for the load limits and to always consider the weight of the item being mounted and the material it is being mounted to.

What materials is the DuoTec 10 S made of?

It is made of nylon, glass fibre-reinforced plastics and a metal skeleton insert.

What is the warranty period?

The warranty period is one year.

Can I pre-install the DuoTec 10 S without the screw?

Yes, it is designed for pre-positioned installation. The plug does not fall into the drill hole, even without a screw.

Troubleshooting

The fixing is not holding the item securely.

Check if the correct screw size (5.0 x 60) was used. Ensure the toggle element has properly deployed behind the panel. If mounting in solid material, make sure the plug is securely expanded in the hole. If necessary, replace the fixing with a new one.

The fixing rotates in the hole.

The drill hole may be too large. Try using a slightly larger screw or a different mounting location.

The screw is difficult to tighten.

Ensure the pilot hole is correctly sized and that the screw is aligned with the fixing. If resistance persists, try using a screwdriver with more leverage or pre-drilling the screw hole slightly larger.
