Dowel Fischer DUOPOWER 555006

The fischer DUOPOWER 555006 is a versatile nylon dowel engineered for reliable anchoring in a wide range of base materials. With a 6 mm hole diameter and a recommended minimum drill depth of 40 mm, this round dowel combines two components that activate different anchoring functions—expansion, folding or knotting—depending on the substrate to ensure secure hold. Each pack contains 100 pieces and is suitable for both professional and DIY applications.

Advantages

The two-component design pairs a grey high-quality nylon inner element that automatically activates the optimum anchoring function with red expansion wings that support secure spreading and add stability. The preshaped edge on the plug head prevents the dowel from slipping into the drill hole, and the geometry allows easy screwing and correct tightening of the screw without over-tightening.

Suitable for

• Concrete and solid masonry
• Hollow blocks and perforated bricks
• Plasterboard and lightweight panels
• General household and installation fixtures

How to use

Drill a hole with a 6 mm diameter to at least 40 mm depth, clean the hole of dust, and insert the fischer DUOPOWER dowel flush with the surface. Choose a screw suitable for the dowel diameter and the load. Screw in until the dowel engages—tighten until the screw head seats but avoid excessive force to prevent over-tightening. For hollow or perforated materials, use the dowel’s folding and knotting action; for solid substrates, allow the expansion wings to spread to achieve secure anchorage.

Usage recommendations

Check substrate suitability and required load values before installation; follow local building regulations and manufacturer torque guidance for critical or heavy-duty fixings.
