Wall Mounting & Fixings
Important note:
If plastic wall plugs are supplied with your product:
- These are only suitable for use in masonry walls. If you are in any doubt about the correct wall plugs for your wal, seek professional advice. Failure of the product due to using incorrect fixings is the responsibility of the installer.
Important:
When drilling into walls always check that there are no hidden wires or pipes
etc.
Make sure that the screws and wall plugs being used are suitable for supporting your unit. Consult a qualified tradesperson if you are unsure.
Hints:
- General rule: & Always use a larger screw and wall plug if you are not sure.
- Ensure you use the recommended drill bit to match the wall plug and hole size.
- Ensure you drill the hole horizontally, do not force the drill or enlarge the hole.
- Take extra care when drilling high walls, ceilings, and ceramic tiles. Ensure wall plugs are inserted beyond the thickness of the ceramic tiles to avoid the tiles splitting or cracking.
- Ensure wall plugs are well fitted and are a tight fit in the drilled hole.
Types of walls
You can use one of the following types of wall plugs if your walls are made
of brick, breeze block, concrete, stone, or wood.
-
“General Purpose” wall plug
Generally, aerated blocks should not be used to support heavy loads, use a specialist fitting in this case. For light loads, general-purpose wall plugs can be used. -
“Plasterboard” wall plug
For use when attaching light loads onto plasterboard partitions. -
“Cavity Fixing” wall plug
For use with plasterboard partitions or hollow wooden doors. -
“Cavity Fixing-Heavy Duty” wall plug
For use when fitting or supporting heavy loads such as shelving, wall cabinets and coat racks. -
“Hammer Fixing” wall plug For use with walls stuck with plasterboard. The hammer fixing allows it to be fixed to the wall rather than the plasterboard. Always check the fixing is secure to the retaining wall.
-
“Shield Anchor” wall plug Heavy loads
For use with heavier loads such as TV & HiFi speakers and satellite dishes etc.
