Klimas LTX10160 Insulating Plug with Plastic Nail 10x160 mm

The Klimas LTX10160 insulating plug is a professional-grade fastening component engineered for the secure installation of thermal insulation boards. With a diameter of 10 mm and a length of 160 mm, this fastener is specifically designed to provide a stable connection between insulation materials and various building substrates. The inclusion of a high-quality plastic nail helps to reduce thermal bridging, ensuring that the integrity of the building's thermal envelope is maintained throughout its service life.

Advantages

This insulating plug offers exceptional durability and resistance to environmental factors, thanks to its construction from high-grade polyethylene. The design focuses on ease of installation while maintaining a firm grip within the wall structure. By utilizing a plastic nail instead of a metal alternative, the fastener significantly minimizes heat loss through the fixing point, contributing to better energy efficiency in external wall insulation systems. Its robust build ensures long-term stability for both new construction and renovation projects.

Suitable for

• Securing polystyrene or mineral wool insulation boards
• External wall insulation systems
• Installation on concrete, solid brick, and hollow brick substrates
• Residential and commercial building renovation

When it may not be suitable

This product is not intended for use in structural applications where high load-bearing capacity is required, such as mounting heavy equipment or facade cladding systems. It may also be unsuitable for installation in highly friable or crumbling masonry where a secure anchor cannot be established.

Key specifications

• Diameter: 10 mm
• Length: 160 mm
• Material: Polyethylene
• Quantity: 200 pieces

How to use

To install the Klimas insulating plug, 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 into the hole until the head sits flush against the surface of the insulation material. Finally, drive the plastic nail into the center of the plug until it is fully seated, which will expand the anchor and lock it securely into the wall.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the thickness of your insulation boards to ensure the 160 mm length is sufficient
• Check the compatibility of the plug with your specific wall substrate material
• Ensure you have the correct drill bit size for a 10 mm diameter anchor

Usage recommendations

For best results, ensure the drill hole depth is slightly greater than the length of the plug to accommodate any residual dust and ensure the nail can be driven in completely without obstruction.
