Klimas FIXPLUG Insulating Plug 8x150 mm with Plastic Nail

The Klimas FIXPLUG insulating plug, measuring 8x150 mm, is a professional-grade fastener engineered for the secure mechanical attachment of thermal insulation boards to diverse building substrates. This component is specifically designed to provide a stable and long-lasting connection in exterior wall insulation systems, ensuring that insulation panels remain firmly in place over time.

Advantages

The primary benefit of the FIXPLUG system is its construction from high-quality polyethylene, which significantly reduces thermal bridging compared to metal alternatives. By minimizing heat loss through the fastener, it helps maintain the overall energy efficiency of the building envelope. The inclusion of a plastic nail simplifies the installation process while maintaining structural integrity, making it an excellent choice for projects where thermal performance is a priority.

Suitable for

• Fastening polystyrene or mineral wool insulation boards
• Exterior wall thermal insulation systems
• New construction and building renovation projects
• Installation on concrete, solid brick, and hollow brick substrates

When it may not be suitable

This product is not intended for heavy-duty structural anchoring or for fastening materials that exceed the load-bearing capacity of plastic fasteners. It should not be used in applications requiring fire-rated metal fixings or in substrates that are too soft or crumbly to provide adequate grip for the plug expansion.

Key specifications

• Diameter: 8 mm
• Length: 150 mm
• Material: Polyethylene
• Quantity: 200 pieces

How to use

To install the FIXPLUG, first drill a hole into the substrate through the insulation board using a drill bit of the appropriate diameter. Ensure the hole is cleaned of dust and debris to allow for optimal expansion. Insert the plug through the insulation until the head sits flush against the surface. Finally, drive the plastic nail into the center of the plug until it is fully seated, which will expand the plug body and lock it securely into the substrate.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the thickness of your insulation material to ensure the 150 mm length is sufficient
• Check the compatibility of the plug with your specific wall substrate type
• Ensure you have the correct drill bit size for an 8 mm diameter plug

Usage recommendations: Always perform a pull-out test on a small section of the wall if you are unsure about the substrate's load-bearing capacity. Ensure the insulation board is dry and free from contaminants before installation to achieve the best results.
