PVC Wall Plug ALL SIZES

Description

A PVC wall plug also known as an anchor or “rawlplug” is a fiber or plastic (originally wood) insert used to enable the attachment of a screw in material that is porous or brittle or that would otherwise not support the weight of the object attached with the screw. These wall plugs are a type of anchor that, for example, allows screws to be fitted into masonry walls.

Usage:There are many forms of PVC wall plug, but the most common principle is to use a tapered tube of soft material, such as plastic. This is inserted loosely into a drilled hole, then a screw is tightened into the center. As the screw enters the plug, the soft material of the plug expands conforming tightly to the wall material. Such anchors can attach one object to another in situations where screws, nails, adhesives, or other simple fasteners are either impractical or ineffective. Different types have different levels of strength and can be used on different types of surfaces.

Please note that these anchors

• work well in all directions of force – both shear force and direct tension in-line with the PVC Wall Plugs
• are NOT recommended in hollow brickwork, mortar, or soft stone. Their size and function requires expansion forces that may crack the substrate

Features and Benefits:

• Flush setting for No protrusions when not in use.
• Hollow orientation so bolts and threaded studs of any length or type can be used.
• Shallow embedment results inreduced chance of drilling into rebar, therefore faster drilling.
• Captive expander nut holds in place at the extreme of the anchor length for maximum embedment.
