Rawlplug wall plug with screw, expansion dowel Ø8 mm, cross‑slotted screw 4.0×60 mm, pack

Rawlplug wall plug with screw set pairs an 8 mm plastic expansion dowel with a 4.0×60 mm cross‑slotted screw for mechanical anchoring in a variety of base materials. The system is intended for general mounting tasks in construction and renovation where a compact, reliable plastic anchor is required to secure light fittings, brackets and small fixtures to solid and hollow substrates.

Advantages

The combination of an Ø8 mm plastic dowel and a cross‑slotted 4.0×60 mm screw provides controlled radial expansion that ensures a secure hold in masonry, concrete, brick and some hollow blocks. The plastic material resists corrosion and simplifies installation by guiding the screw into the anchor body. The screw head and thread profile are matched to the dowel for consistent performance and reduced risk of splitting the anchor during insertion.

Suitable for

• Fixing light brackets and small shelving supports to solid walls
• Mounting electrical boxes, conduit clips and cable clips
• Securing decorative fixtures, hooks and picture rails
• Renovation work where reliable medium‑duty anchors are required

Key specifications

• Dowel nominal diameter: 8 mm
• Screw diameter and length: 4.0 mm × 60 mm
• Anchor type: plastic expansion dowel with mechanical expansion
• Screw head drive: cross‑slotted (Phillips/Pozi compatible)
• Intended base materials: masonry, concrete, brick, hollow blocks (subject to wall thickness)

How to use

Drill a hole matching the dowel diameter into the substrate to the required depth, clean the hole of dust and debris, insert the plastic dowel flush with the surface, then drive the 4.0×60 mm cross‑slotted screw into the dowel until the head sits securely. Tighten the screw steadily to ensure the dowel expands evenly and forms a reliable mechanical anchor. For hollow substrates, verify that the anchor fits and expands correctly or choose an alternative hollow‑wall anchor if necessary.

Usage recommendations

Check base material condition and drill bit size before installation. Use appropriate drill type for the substrate (masonry bit for concrete/brick). Observe maximum load limits for medium‑duty plastic anchors and avoid over‑tightening the screw to prevent deformation of the dowel.
