RAWLPLUG facade anchor R-TFIX-8M 8×235 mm with metal drive-in pin, pack 100

RAWLPLUG R-TFIX-8M 8×235 mm with metal drive-in pin is a facade fixing anchor designed for mechanical attachment of insulation panels, cladding rails and other facade elements. The anchor combines a long plastic sleeve with a metal drive-in pin to provide secure holding power in masonry and concrete substrates. Supplied in a pack of 100, this solution addresses needs for multiple repeat installations in professional facade work.

Advantages

The design provides reliable mechanical anchoring for long-reach applications while the metal drive-in pin ensures consistent setting and improved shear resistance compared with plastic-only pins. The length and diameter are suited for fixing thick insulation and mounting rails without the need to source separate pins. Pack quantity of 100 supports efficient workflow on larger jobs and reduces handling time on site.

Suitable for

• Fixing external thermal insulation composite systems (ETICS) and insulation boards
• Attaching facade cladding rails and subframes
• Mechanical anchoring into concrete, solid brick and similar mineral substrates
• Applications requiring long anchors with metal pins for increased shear and pull-out performance

Key specifications

• Anchor type: facade fixing anchor with metal drive-in pin
• Nominal diameter: 8 mm
• Length: 235 mm
• Sleeve material: durable plastic designed for exterior fastening
• Pin material: metal drive-in pin for positive setting
• Pack size: 100 pieces

How to use

Drill a hole in the substrate with the correct diameter and depth for the 8×235 mm anchor, ensuring the hole is clean and free of dust. Insert the sleeve fully into the drilled hole, position the insulation or rail against the facade, then drive the metal pin into the sleeve until it is firmly set. Check that the anchor head and sleeve are flush with the insulation or fixing plate and confirm mechanical stability before completing the next fixing point.

Usage recommendations

Use the anchor in suitable mineral substrates such as concrete or solid brick; avoid use in hollow or weak substrates unless specific verification and additional measures are applied. When installing insulation systems, follow manufacturer recommendations for anchor spacing and edge distances. Use appropriate drilling tools and protective equipment, and verify each fixing for correct seating and load-bearing capacity before finishing the facade surface.
