Klimas FIXPLUG Insulating Plug 8x210 mm with Plastic Nail

The Klimas FIXPLUG insulating plug, measuring 8x210 mm, is a specialized mechanical fastener engineered for the secure attachment of thermal insulation boards to building facades. Constructed from high-quality polyethylene, this plug is designed to provide robust support while maintaining the integrity of the insulation layer. The inclusion of a plastic nail significantly reduces the risk of thermal bridging, ensuring that the building envelope remains energy-efficient and protected against heat loss.

Advantages

The primary benefit of the Klimas FIXPLUG is its ability to provide high pull-out resistance, which is essential for the long-term stability of facade insulation systems. By utilizing a plastic nail instead of a metal one, the fastener prevents the formation of cold spots on the wall surface, thereby improving the overall thermal performance of the building. Its durable construction ensures reliable installation across various common base materials, making it a versatile choice for professional construction projects.

Suitable for

• Fastening expanded polystyrene (EPS) boards
• Securing mineral wool insulation panels
• Installation on concrete and solid brick substrates
• Professional facade thermal insulation systems

When it may not be suitable

This product is not intended for use in hollow brick or aerated concrete blocks where specific expansion anchors might be required for adequate grip. It is also not suitable for heavy-duty structural applications that require metal fasteners for higher load-bearing capacities.

Key specifications

• Diameter: 8 mm
• Length: 210 mm
• Material: Polyethylene
• Fastener type: Plastic nail

How to use

To install the Klimas FIXPLUG, first drill a hole into the base material through the insulation board using an 8 mm drill bit. Ensure the hole is slightly deeper than the length of the plug to accommodate any dust or debris. Insert the plug into the hole until the head sits flush against the insulation surface. Finally, drive the plastic nail into the center of the plug until it is fully seated, which will expand the plug and lock it securely into the substrate.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the thickness of your insulation material to ensure the 210 mm length is appropriate.
• Check the compatibility of the plug with your specific wall substrate material.
• Ensure you have an 8 mm drill bit suitable for your wall type.

Usage recommendations

For optimal results, ensure the drill hole is cleaned of debris before insertion to guarantee maximum pull-out resistance and a secure fit.
