Screw & wall plug kit Fischer 568208

The fischer SX Plus wall plug kit (Screw & wall plug kit Fischer 568208) contains nylon expansion plugs and matching screws designed for secure anchoring in a wide range of solid and perforated building materials, including concrete, brick, autoclaved aerated concrete, gypsum fibre board and masonry. With an 8 mm drill hole diameter and minimum embedment depth of 60 mm, these components are intended for screw diameters from 5 mm and are suitable for both pre-positioned and push-through installation methods.

Advantages

The 4-way expansion ensures optimum transfer of force into the base material and provides high holding values in solid and perforated substrates. Special fixing wings hold the screw in position for hands-free pre-fixation, which is especially useful for overhead work. An expansion-free plug neck avoids creating surface expansion forces while driving the screw, reducing the risk of damaging tiles or plaster. The plug’s shaped body allows easy insertion into the drill hole with a few light hammer blows, and a pronounced edge prevents the plug from slipping deeper into the hole. The noticeable tightening torque signals correct installation and helps prevent overtightening. High-quality nylon construction ensures long-term secure hold.

Suitable for

• Concrete and solid masonry
• Brick and sand-lime brick
• Autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC)
• Gypsum fibre board and plasterboard with appropriate screws
• Overhead fixtures where pre-fixation is required

How to use

Drill a hole with an 8 mm diameter to the required embedment depth (at least 60 mm). Clean the hole of dust and debris, then insert the nylon plug until the pronounced edge sits flush with the substrate surface; light hammer blows can assist insertion. For pre-positioned installation the screw can be placed into the plug before insertion; during push-through installation insert the plug first and then the screw. Tighten the screw until the plug expands in four directions and anchors in the material; the characteristic tightening torque indicates correct seating and reduces the risk of overtightening. Choose screw length equal to plug length plus fixture thickness plus screw diameter.

Usage recommendations

Use wood, chipboard or stud screws appropriate for the selected screw diameter. Verify substrate suitability and required load values before installation and follow relevant building regulations. For hollow or thin substrates consult technical data sheets and use suitable anchors if necessary.
