Dowel Fischer UX 6 50 pcs

Fischer UX 6 dowels are nylon-plastic anchors with a round profile and a length of 50 mm, supplied in a pack of 50 pieces. Designed for general fixing tasks, these UX 6 dowels provide a secure hold for screws and fixtures in a range of base materials commonly encountered in construction and DIY work. Their geometry and material composition offer balanced expansion behaviour and resistance to splitting in substrates such as concrete, solid brick and lightweight building boards.

Advantages

The combination of nylon and plastic construction gives the UX 6 dowel consistent expansion and good load transfer while remaining resistant to corrosion and aging. The round design simplifies insertion into pre-drilled holes and accommodates slight hole-size variations, reducing the risk of breakage during installation. Supplied as a 50-piece pack, the set is practical for small and medium jobs, minimizing the need for frequent reordering.

Suitable for

• Fixing light to medium loads such as shelving brackets, picture rails and curtain fittings
• Anchoring in concrete, solid brick and hollow or cellular lightweight blocks
• General DIY projects and renovation tasks in domestic and commercial settings

Key specifications

• Material: nylon/plastic composite
• Length: 50 mm
• Pack quantity: 50 pieces
• Shape: round
• Suitable screw diameter range: for standard wood or chipboard screws matching a 6 mm anchor

How to use

Mark the fixing positions and drill holes with the recommended drill bit diameter for a 6 mm dowel. Clean drill holes from dust and debris before inserting the dowel flush with the surface. Place the fixture and drive an appropriate screw into the dowel until the head sits securely against the fixture. Ensure the screw length and type suit the thickness of the fixture and the substrate to achieve the required anchoring depth and load-bearing performance.

Usage recommendations

Use the dowels with screws of compatible diameter and correct length for the application. Pre-drill to the correct depth and remove dust from the hole to ensure full expansion. For heavy loads or safety-critical fixings, choose anchors and fasteners rated for the specific substrate and load; consult applicable installation guidelines.
