Klimas FIXPLUG Insulating Plug 8x110 mm with Plastic Nail

The Klimas FIXPLUG insulating plug, measuring 8x110 mm, is a professional-grade fastener engineered for the secure mechanical attachment of thermal insulation boards to building facades. Constructed from high-quality polyethylene, this plug provides a reliable solution for maintaining the integrity of insulation systems, ensuring that materials remain firmly in place against the substrate. The inclusion of a durable plastic nail minimizes thermal bridging, contributing to the overall energy efficiency of the building envelope.

Advantages

The primary benefit of the Klimas FIXPLUG is its ability to provide a stable and long-lasting connection between insulation panels and the wall structure. The polyethylene construction offers excellent resistance to environmental factors and mechanical stress, ensuring that the fastening system remains effective over time. By utilizing a plastic nail, the design significantly reduces heat loss through the fastener compared to metal alternatives, which is critical for maintaining high thermal performance in modern construction projects.

Suitable for

• Fastening polystyrene or mineral wool insulation boards
• Installation on concrete, solid brick, and hollow brick substrates
• Facade thermal insulation systems
• Residential and commercial building exterior finishing

When it may not be suitable

This product is not intended for use in soft or crumbling base materials where a secure grip cannot be achieved. It is also not recommended for heavy-duty structural applications that require metal anchors for load-bearing purposes.

Key specifications

• Diameter: 8 mm
• Length: 110 mm
• Material: Polyethylene
• Fastener type: Plastic nail

How to use

To install the Klimas FIXPLUG, first drill a hole into the substrate through the insulation board using a drill bit matching the plug diameter. Ensure the hole is cleaned of dust and debris to allow for proper expansion. Insert the plug into the hole until the flange sits flush against the surface of the insulation. Finally, drive the plastic nail into the plug until it is fully seated, which will expand the anchor and secure it firmly within the base material.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the thickness of your insulation material to ensure the 110 mm length is appropriate
• Check the compatibility of the plug with your specific wall substrate
• Ensure you have the correct drill bit size for an 8 mm diameter anchor

Usage recommendations

For optimal results, ensure the drill hole is slightly deeper than the length of the plug to accommodate any residual dust and allow the nail to be driven in completely without obstruction.
