What is the diameter of the disc?

A 5.0mm hole is required.

Where can these discs be used?

Troubleshooting

The disc is not sitting flush with the insulation.

Ensure the screw is not overtightened. Check for any obstructions preventing the disc from seating correctly. If necessary, slightly enlarge the hole in the insulation.

The disc is rusting.

The discs are only suitable for clean, dry, and low-humidity environments (Corrosion Rating 1). If rust is appearing, the environment may not be suitable. Ensure proper sealing and consider using a different material if necessary.

The insulation is pulling away from the disc.

Ensure you are using the correct screw length. The screw may be too short. Also, make sure the disc is the correct size for the job.
