RAWLPLUG façade anchor R-TFIX-8M 8×135 mm with metal hammer-in pin, pack 200

RAWLPLUG R-TFIX-8M 8×135 mm is a façade anchor designed for mechanical fixing of external cladding and insulation systems. With an 8 mm diameter and 135 mm length, the anchor uses a metal hammer-in pin that activates secure expansion in masonry and concrete substrates. Supplied in a pack of 200, it is intended to provide stable load transfer for insulation boards, façade panels and similar façade components where durable mechanical fastening is required.

Advantages

The metal hammer-in pin ensures consistent mechanical expansion and reliable holding power in both solid masonry and concrete. The anchor’s dimensions are matched to common insulation and cladding applications, enabling straightforward installation and predictable performance. Supplied in a large pack, it reduces handling and reordering frequency on larger projects and helps maintain consistency across multiple fixings.

Suitable for

• Fixing thermal insulation boards to masonry and concrete façades
• Mounting façade panels and cladding systems
• Mechanical fastening of lightweight exterior components
• Projects requiring many fixings, such as apartment blocks and commercial façades

Key specifications

• Anchor diameter: 8 mm
• Anchor length: 135 mm
• Pin type: metal hammer-in pin for mechanical expansion
• Suitable substrates: masonry and concrete
• Pack quantity: 200 pieces

How to use

Drill a hole in the substrate with a drill bit matching the anchor diameter and to the required depth for the 135 mm anchor. Clean the hole of dust and debris before insertion. Insert the anchor sleeve into the hole until the head is flush with the surface, then drive the metal hammer-in pin fully into the sleeve using a hammer to activate mechanical expansion. Check that the anchor head is seated correctly and that the attached insulation or cladding element is held firmly. Where necessary, follow relevant design and structural guidance for spacing and load distribution.

Usage recommendations

Use a carbide-tipped drill bit for concrete and solid masonry. Verify substrate condition before installation and avoid cracked or spalled areas. For insulated façades, combine these anchors with adhesive or additional mechanical fixings according to system manufacturer instructions and local building regulations. Store anchors in a dry place to prevent contamination of components.
