RAWLPLUG R-TFIX-8M facade fixing plug 8 x 195 mm with metal drive pin, pack 200

RAWLPLUG R-TFIX-8M facade fixing plug 8 x 195 mm with metal drive pin, pack 200 is a mechanical anchor designed for fixing external insulation boards, render profiles and cladding to masonry and concrete substrates. The plug features a long plastic body with expansion segments and a metal drive pin that ensures positive anchorage and reliable penetration through insulation layers into the base material. Supplied in a pack of 200, it is intended for repeated use on medium- and large-scale façade insulation and cladding installations.

Advantages

The combination of a long plastic sleeve and a metal drive pin delivers stable pull-out resistance and consistent seat depth through a range of insulation thicknesses. The design minimises the risk of sleeve deformation during installation and provides controlled expansion in solid substrates. Supplied in bulk packaging, the product supports efficient worksite logistics and reduces the need for frequent reordering on large projects.

Suitable for

• Fixing external thermal insulation composite systems (ETICS) to masonry and concrete
• Securing façade cladding and render carrier profiles
• Mechanical anchoring through insulation boards into solid substrates
• Professional building and renovation projects requiring high-volume fasteners

Key specifications

• Anchor type: mechanical façade fixing with metal drive pin
• Nominal diameter: 8 mm
• Overall length: 195 mm
• Material: plastic sleeve with metal drive pin
• Suitable substrates: concrete, solid brick, dense masonry
• Packaging: bulk pack of 200 units

How to use

Drill a clearance hole through the insulation and into the base substrate to the required depth using the recommended drill diameter for an 8 mm anchor. Clean the hole of dust and debris, then insert the plastic sleeve so that the head is flush with the insulation surface. Drive the metal pin using a hammer or appropriate setting tool until the sleeve expands and the required embedment is achieved in the base material. Ensure each fixing is installed perpendicular to the façade for optimal load transfer.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate drill bits for masonry and concrete and follow substrate-specific spacing and edge distance guidelines for façade systems. Check compatibility with insulation thickness and façade details before installation. For load-critical applications or hollow substrates, verify suitability with structural calculations or consult technical documentation.
