How to use

Drill a pilot hole in the plasterboard if required by the anchor instructions, then insert the Fischer 44 mm plasterboard plug flush with the surface. Use a screw with a 4–5 mm diameter and drive it into the anchor until the fixture is held securely; avoid over-tightening which can damage the board or reduce holding capacity. For heavier items, ensure installation into board studs or use multiple anchors to distribute the load.

Usage recommendations

The Fischer plasterboard anchor is intended for use in gypsum-based panels; verify board thickness and condition before installation. For loads exceeding light to medium weight, or for critical safety applications, consult load tables and consider specialist anchors or direct fastening into studs. Store the blister pack in a dry place to maintain product condition.
