FAQs

What size drill bit do I need?

The pack includes an 8mm drill bit, which is specifically designed for these fixings.

What size screws should I use?

Use No.10 screws.

Are these fixings suitable for all types of walls?

No, these fixings are specifically designed for thermal block walls like Thermalite and Celcon.

Can I use these fixings outdoors?

These fixings can be used outdoors. However, consider the material you are attaching and the elements.

What is the maximum weight these fixings can hold?

The holding capacity depends on the material, the screw, and the item being mounted. Please refer to the manufacturer's guidelines for specific load capacities.

What if the fixing doesn't seem secure?

Ensure the pilot hole is the correct size, the fixing is fully inserted, and the screw is not overtightened. If the item is still not secure, consider using more fixings.

Troubleshooting

Fixing spins in the wall and doesn't grip.

Ensure the pilot hole is the correct size (8mm) and that the fixing is fully inserted. If the material is particularly crumbly, consider using a different fixing method or a larger fixing designed for such materials.

Screw doesn't tighten.

Check that you're using a No.10 screw, as recommended. Ensure the screw is aligned correctly and not cross-threaded.

Fixing breaks during installation.

Avoid applying excessive force during installation. Make sure the pilot hole is the correct size.
