Fast mounting plug Koelner/Rawlplug R-SL3-FX-06L040 6×40 mm, funnel head, 100 pcs is a plastic anchor for quick fixing of light fixtures and small fittings in solid and hollow building substrates. The 6×40 mm dimension and countersunk (funnel) head allow the fast mounting plug to sit flush or slightly recessed, providing a neat finish for visible fixings. Supplied in a pack of 100, the product targets general fastening tasks in masonry, concrete and drywall where a small-diameter anchor is required.
Advantages
The fast mounting plug is made from durable plastic suitable for standard indoor and sheltered outdoor applications where corrosion resistance of metal anchors is not required. Its funnel head design ensures that screws sit flush with the surface or sink slightly below, which helps achieve a tidy appearance in visible areas. The 6×40 mm size balances holding capacity and compact dimensions, making the plug versatile for light to medium light-duty attachments. Supplied in bulk (100 pieces), it is practical for multiple installations or small projects without the need for frequent reordering.
Suitable for
- Fixing small shelves, trims and lightweight brackets to masonry and concrete
- Mounting light fittings and fixtures to drywall or hollow blocks
- General-purpose anchoring where a flush or recessed head is preferred
When it may not be suitable
This plastic fast mounting plug is not intended for heavy structural loads or critical safety applications; for high-load connections, metal anchors or larger diameter anchors should be used. It may also be unsuitable for long-term outdoor exposure in aggressive environments where UV or chemical resistance is required unless used in sheltered locations.
Key specifications
- Anchor material: plastic
- Nominal size: 6 × 40 mm (diameter × length)
- Head type: funnel / countersunk
- Pack quantity: 100 pieces
- Intended substrates: masonry, concrete, drywall, hollow blocks
How to use
Drill a hole of the correct diameter and depth for a 6 mm anchor in the chosen substrate, clean the hole of dust, insert the plastic plug until the funnel head is flush with the surface, and fasten the fixture by driving an appropriate screw into the anchor until the head sits flush or slightly recessed. For hollow substrates, use a screw length that ensures the anchor expands or grips correctly without over-tightening. Follow standard safety practices and use suitable drilling and fastening tools.
What to consider before purchase
- Confirm the substrate type (solid masonry, concrete or drywall) and choose anchors appropriate for that material
- Verify the required screw diameter and length to match the 6 mm plug and desired engagement depth
- Assess load requirements to ensure a plastic 6×40 mm anchor provides sufficient holding strength
Usage recommendations
For best results, pre-drill holes with a masonry drill bit matched to the anchor diameter, remove dust before insertion, and use screws specified for the anchor diameter. In hollow or plasterboard walls, avoid over-tightening; for heavier items consider using larger or metal anchors. Store the pack in a dry place to maintain anchor condition.
