Wall plug FISCHER 45485 nylon 30 mm 6 mm drill hole, pack of 30

The Fischer 45485 S nylon expansion plug is a classic wall plug designed for secure fixing in concrete and solid masonry. Made from high-quality nylon, this 30 mm plug is robust during installation and provides reliable long-term anchoring. It expands in two directions and can be rotated so that expansion forces run parallel to the edge of the building material, reducing the risk of spalling when fixing close to edges. Compatible with wood or chipboard screws, the plug is supplied in a pack of 30 pieces and is intended for use with a 6 mm drill hole and a minimum drill depth of 40 mm.

Advantages

The nylon construction delivers strong resistance to breaking during insertion and stable anchoring over time. Two-directional expansion and the ability to orient the plug allow control of expansion forces to protect material edges. The rimless design supports both pre-positioned and push-through installation, and an anti-rotation feature helps prevent the plug from turning in the drill hole during screw insertion.

Suitable for

• Fixing fixtures and fittings to concrete
• Anchoring in solid masonry
• Installations where edge proximity requires controlled expansion
• Use with wood screws or chipboard screws

When it may not be suitable

The plug is intended for concrete and solid masonry; it is not designed for hollow or cavity wall substrates where anchor types for hollow materials are required. For very soft materials or substrates requiring chemical anchors or heavy-load mechanical anchors, this standard nylon expansion plug may not provide sufficient load capacity.

Key specifications

• Material: Nylon
• Length: 30 mm
• Recommended drill hole diameter: 6 mm
• Minimum drill hole depth: 40 mm
• Colour: Grey
• Pack quantity: 30 pieces

How to use

Drill a 6 mm hole to at least 40 mm depth in concrete or solid masonry, remove debris, and insert the plug either pre-positioned or push-through until flush with the surface. Use an appropriate wood or chipboard screw to expand the plug in two directions; the anti-rotation feature will help keep the plug steady while driving the screw. Rotate the plug before insertion if you need the expansion forces to align parallel to an edge to minimise spalling.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended substrate: concrete or solid masonry
• Required drill diameter: 6 mm and minimum depth 40 mm
• Compatibility with screw type: wood or chipboard screws
• Quantity per pack: 30 pieces

Usage recommendations

For best results, use clean drill holes, choose screws of appropriate length to engage the plug fully, and orient the plug when fixing close to edges to reduce the risk of material spalling.
