Product Information

Full details

This Forgefix Hammer Fixing is designed for installers needing a fast and reliable fixing solution in solid substrates like concrete and brickwork. Its pre-assembled nature and hammer-driven installation offer significant time savings for repetitive tasks such as fixing battens, window frames, and door frames. A key caveat is its suitability primarily for solid materials, as it may not perform optimally in hollow or brittle substrates.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the minimum drill size required?

A 6mm drill bit is required for the pilot hole.

What is the maximum thickness of material I can fix?

The maximum fixing thickness for this specific product (M6 x 60mm) is 35mm.

Can I remove the fixing after installation?

Yes, the Pozidrive (PZ2) screw head allows for removal with a suitable screwdriver, provided the fixing has not been subjected to extreme stress or corrosion.

What types of walls are these fixings suitable for?

They are suitable for most solid masonry substrates, including concrete and brickwork.

Are these fixings suitable for outdoor use?

They offer moderate corrosion resistance due to zinc yellow passivation and are suitable for dry, protected outdoor environments. For exposed or harsh conditions, consider stainless steel fixings.

What does 'Through fixing' mean?

Through fixing means the fixing passes through the item being secured and into the base material, eliminating the need for pre-drilled holes in the item itself or marking and re-positioning.

How many fixings are in a pack?

This pack contains 200 Forgefix Hammer Fixings.

Troubleshooting

Fixing does not hold securely.

Ensure the hole diameter is correct (6mm) and the depth is sufficient (minimum 35mm). Verify the substrate is solid masonry and not hollow or brittle. Check that the fixing was driven fully home with the hammer.

Difficulty driving the fixing.

Ensure the hole is clean and free of debris. Use a firm, direct strike with the hammer. If significant resistance is met, double-check substrate suitability.

Screw head is damaged during installation.

Ensure the correct PZ2 driver is used for any necessary adjustments. Apply firm, consistent force. If the head is stripped, removal may require alternative methods.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces installation time due to pre-assembly and hammer fixing.
  • Provides a secure and robust fixing in a wide range of common masonry substrates.
  • Offers flexibility with a Pozidrive head for potential removal or adjustment.
  • Ideal for repetitive tasks where speed and efficiency are crucial.
  • Through fixing method simplifies the installation process.

Cons

  • Primarily suited for solid substrates; performance in hollow materials is not guaranteed.
  • Hammer fixing may not be suitable for all applications where precise torque control is required.
  • Requires a 6mm drill bit for preparation, necessitating appropriate tools.
  • The zinc yellow passivation offers moderate corrosion resistance, not ideal for highly corrosive environments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Drill a 6mm diameter hole into the substrate. Ensure the hole depth is at least 35mm.
  2. Clean the dust from the drilled hole.
  3. Insert the Forgefix Hammer Fixing into the hole until the head is flush with the surface.
  4. Using a hammer, strike the head of the fixing firmly to drive the screw nail into the plug, securing the item.

Compatibility:

  • Substrates: Suitable for solid masonry such as concrete, brick, and blockwork.
  • Tools: Requires a 6mm drill bit, a hammer, and a PZ2 screwdriver (for potential removal).
  • Maximum Fixing Thickness: Can accommodate a maximum thickness of 35mm for the item being fixed.

Care:

These fixings are designed for single-use, permanent installation. While the zinc yellow passivation offers some protection, they are best used in dry, protected environments. For exposed or highly corrosive conditions, alternative fixings may be more appropriate. No specific maintenance is required for the fixings themselves once installed.
