FAQs

What size drill bit do I need?

You need an 8mm drill bit.

What materials can I use these plugs with?

These plugs are suitable for use with concrete, solid brick, natural stone, and lightweight concrete.

What type of screws should I use?

The drill hole depth should be at least 55mm.

Can I use these plugs outdoors?

Yes, these plugs are suitable for outdoor applications.

What is the material of the plug?

The plug is made of high-quality nylon (Polyamide PA).

What is the benefit of the anti-rotation lock?

The anti-rotation lock provides a high level of installation safety and prevents the plug from spinning in the drilled hole.

Troubleshooting

Plug spins in the hole during screw insertion.

Ensure the drilled hole is the correct diameter (8mm). If the hole is too large, try a different location or use a larger diameter screw to engage the plug more effectively.

Screw doesn't tighten or feels loose.

Verify that the screw diameter is within the recommended range (4.5mm-6mm). Ensure the drilled hole depth is sufficient for the screw length. If the material is too soft, the plug may not hold. Consider using a different type of fixing for soft materials.

Plug is difficult to insert into the hole.

Ensure the drilled hole is clean and free of debris. Use a hammer to gently tap the plug into place if needed. If the hole is too tight, slightly enlarge it with the drill bit.
