Screw & wall plug kit Fischer 537262 50 mm 2 pcs

The Fischer 537262 50 mm screw & wall plug kit contains two anchors designed for secure mounting in gypsum fibre board and plasterboard. Each anchor is 50 mm long and intended for use with screws of at least 4.5 mm diameter. The kit is engineered to provide reliable load transfer in lightweight wall materials where conventional anchors may not hold effectively. Drill hole diameter recommended for installation is 10 mm, matching the anchor body to ensure correct fit and performance.

Advantages

These wall plugs are manufactured to deliver consistent expansion and grip in gypsum-based panels, reducing the risk of pull-out under shear and tensile loads. The 50 mm length offers sufficient embedment depth for many common fixtures while maintaining a compact profile. Designed by a recognized fastening specialist, the anchors are suitable for rapid installation and provide repeatable results when used with the appropriate drill bit and screw size.

Suitable for

• Mounting shelves and light cabinets on plasterboard or gypsum fibre board
• Fixing towel rails, mirrors and picture frames to lightweight walls
• Attaching curtain rails and small brackets in residential or office interiors
• General-purpose fastenings where the substrate is gypsum-based board

Key specifications

• Anchor length: 50 mm
• Quantity: 2 pieces per kit
• Recommended drill hole diameter: 10 mm
• Minimum compatible screw diameter: 4.5 mm
• Intended substrate: gypsum fibre board, plasterboard

How to use

Drill a 10 mm hole at the required fixing point through the plasterboard or gypsum fibre board to the appropriate depth. Clean out dust from the hole, then insert the 50 mm anchor flush with the wall surface. Place the fixture and drive a screw with a diameter of at least 4.5 mm into the anchor until the fixture is held securely; avoid over-tightening to prevent damaging the board or the anchor. For heavier loads, verify the anchor embedment and consider supplementary support such as backing or a stud fix.

Usage recommendations

Use a drill with a suitable 10 mm masonry or multipurpose bit and ensure the screw length provides sufficient engagement beyond the anchor without bottoming out. For installations in thinner boards or near edges, test the anchoring performance first and follow relevant load tables or manufacturer guidance for safe working loads.
