RAWLPLUG facade anchor R-TFIX-8M 8×155 mm with metal drive pin, pack 200

RAWLPLUG R-TFIX-8M 8×155 mm is a mechanical facade anchor designed for fixing cladding, insulation boards and lightweight facade elements to masonry and concrete. The anchor combines a polymer sleeve with an integrated metal drive pin that ensures secure expansion in base material and improved shear resistance. Supplied in a pack of 200, the R-TFIX-8M is intended for repeated professional use on external walls where reliable mechanical anchoring is required.

Advantages

The design with an integrated metal drive pin provides consistent and reliable expansion, reducing the risk of pull-out in solid and hollow masonry. The 8×155 mm length offers sufficient embedment depth for insulating materials and cladding systems while the polymer sleeve adapts to surface irregularities. Delivery in a bulk pack of 200 ensures continuity of work on larger facade projects and lowers handling time compared with smaller packaging.

Suitable for

• Fixing thermal insulation boards (ETICS) to concrete and masonry
• Securing lightweight cladding and ventilated facade components
• Fastening brackets, rails and subframes for facade systems
• Applications where repeated, high-volume anchoring is required

Key specifications

• Anchor diameter: 8 mm
• Overall length: 155 mm
• Drive pin material: metal (integrated)
• Sleeve material: polymer
• Pack quantity: 200 pieces
• Suitable base materials: concrete and masonry
• Primary function: mechanical expansion anchor for facades

How to use

Drill a hole to the specified diameter and depth for an 8×155 mm anchor in the base material, ensuring the hole is clean and free of dust. Insert the polymer sleeve into the hole until the flange sits flush with the surface, then place the component to be fixed over the sleeve. Drive the metal pin with a hammer or setting tool until the pin head is flush with or slightly below the sleeve surface, activating the sleeve expansion and creating the mechanical lock. Check that the anchor is fully set and that fixtures are held securely.

Usage recommendations

Use in accordance with local building codes and facade system manufacturer instructions. Verify base material strength and required embedment depth before installation. For hollow masonry, confirm suitability and follow any additional reinforcement or longer-embedment guidelines. Store anchors in a dry place and handle packs to avoid damage to sleeves or pins.
