FAQs

What drill bit size do I need?

You need a 6mm drill bit.

What materials are these plugs suitable for?

These plugs are suitable for Autoclaved aerated concrete, Brick, Concrete, Gypsum block, and Masonry.

What is the maximum screw diameter?

The maximum screw diameter should be 5 mm.

What is the minimum screw diameter?

The minimum screw diameter is 4 mm.

How do I prevent the plug from slipping into the hole?

The plug edge is designed to prevent it from slipping deeper into the drill hole.

How do I know if I've tightened the screw enough?

The noticeable tightening torque indicates when the screw is properly installed.

Can I use these plugs for overhead applications?

Yes, the fixing blades help with pre-fixation of the screw, which is helpful for overhead applications.

What is the plug made of?

The plug is made of high-quality nylon.

Troubleshooting

Plug spins in the hole during screw insertion.

Ensure the drill hole diameter is correct (6mm). If it's too large, try a slightly larger screw or use a different type of plug for the material.

The screw does not tighten properly.

Check if the screw diameter matches the plug's recommended range (4-5mm). If the screw is too small, it won't grip the plug effectively.

The fixture feels loose after installation.

Verify that the plug is fully expanded within the material. The screw may need to be tightened further, but avoid overtightening. If the material is too soft, consider a different plug type.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Drill the Hole: Use a 6mm drill bit for the Fischer SX Plus plugs. Ensure the hole depth meets the minimum requirement (4cm) to accommodate the plug and screw.
  2. Insert the Plug: Place the plug into the drilled hole, ensuring it is flush with the surface.
  3. Insert the Screw: Place the fixture over the plug and insert the appropriate screw. Tighten until you feel the noticeable tightening torque, avoiding over-tightening.

Compatibility:

The Fischer SX Plus plugs are compatible with various building materials, including concrete, brick, and gypsum block. They work best with wood and chipboard screws, as well as stud screws. Use screws with a diameter between 4mm and 5mm.

Care:

  • Ensure that the drill hole is clean and free of debris before inserting the plug.
  • Avoid overtightening the screw, which can damage the plug or the fixture. Use the noticeable tightening torque as a guide.
