Klimas KW-8/5X80 expansion anchor plug, nylon, Ø8 mm x 80 mm

Klimas KW-8/5X80 expansion anchor plug, nylon, Ø8 mm x 80 mm is a fastening element designed for reliable anchoring of fixtures and light structural components in a variety of base materials. The anchor is made of nylon and sized for use with Ø8 mm screws; its 80 mm length provides sufficient embedment depth for secure grip in solid masonry, concrete, brick and selected hollow block types. The product is suitable for interior and exterior applications where a standard plastic anchor is appropriate and where a simple mechanical expansion principle is required.

Advantages

The nylon construction offers corrosion resistance and long-term dimensional stability in typical building environments. The KW-8/5X80 features a tapered body that promotes uniform expansion around the screw, improving pull-out resistance in solid substrates and grip in hollow materials. Its 80 mm length allows deeper engagement for increased load capacity compared with shorter plugs, while compatibility with Ø8 mm screws ensures commonly available fixing hardware can be used.

Suitable for

• Fastening light profiles, trims and fixtures to masonry and concrete
• Securing electrical boxes, conduit clips and brackets
• Mounting shelves, curtain rails and light signage
• Interior and exterior installations in brick or suitable hollow blocks

Key specifications

• Material: nylon (plastic)
• Designed screw diameter: Ø8 mm
• Anchor length: 80 mm
• Suitable base materials: masonry, concrete, brick, some hollow blocks
• Fixing principle: mechanical expansion around screw

How to use

Drill a hole in the base material with an appropriate Ø8 mm drill bit to the required embedment depth, clean the hole of dust and debris, then insert the nylon anchor flush with the surface. Position the fixture and drive an Ø8 mm screw into the anchor until the anchor expands and clamps against the hole walls. For hollow materials, ensure the anchor engages correctly and consider using a screw length that allows proper expansion without over-tightening. Follow standard installation practices for hole depth, drill speed and screw type to achieve reliable fixation.

Usage recommendations

Use the anchor within its material suitability limits and verify base material condition before installation. For heavy loads or critical structural applications, consult load tables or use specialized anchors. Keep compatible screw length and type in mind: the screw must be long enough to allow full anchor expansion but not so long as to bottom out or damage the anchor.
