How to use

To use the Koelner hammer-in plug, first drill a hole into the substrate using a drill bit that matches the diameter of the plug. Ensure the hole is slightly deeper than the length of the plug to accommodate any dust or debris. Clean the hole thoroughly to ensure maximum friction. Insert the plug through the fixture and into the hole, then drive the nail screw into the plug using a hammer until the head is flush with the fixture. The plug will expand automatically as the nail is driven in, creating a firm connection.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the substrate is solid, as this plug is not designed for hollow masonry.
• Ensure the drill bit diameter matches the plug size for a secure fit.
• Check the thickness of the material being fastened to ensure the 140 mm length is sufficient.

Usage recommendations

Always wear appropriate safety gear, including eye protection, when drilling and hammering. Ensure the drill hole is free of dust and debris before insertion to achieve the best possible grip and long-term stability.
