RAWLPLUG R-TFIX-8S-155 screwed façade anchor 8×155 mm with collared sleeve, surface and countersunk tool options

RAWLPLUG R-TFIX-8S-155 is a screwed façade anchor designed for anchoring external cladding, thermal insulation systems and lightweight façade elements to masonry substrates. The anchor measures 8×155 mm and features a collared (overmoulded) sleeve that helps centre the screw and provides a flush finish at the fixing surface. The product is supplied in larger trade packs for professional use and is available with two tool head variants to match installation requirements: a surface-mounted head and a countersunk head for different visible finishes.

Advantages

The collared sleeve ensures consistent positioning and reduces material crush-through while the screwed design allows controlled expansion in masonry substrates for reliable pull-out and shear performance. Availability of both surface-mounted and countersunk tool options provides flexibility to achieve either a raised head or a recessed finish depending on the façade design. The anchor’s length and sleeve configuration are suitable for passing through insulation layers and delivering secure embedment in the base structure.

Suitable for

• Fixing external insulation boards and mineral wool to masonry and block substrates
• Securing lightweight cladding panels and ventilated façade elements
• Installing brackets and secondary framing through insulation to structural substrate
• Applications where either visible or countersunk head finishes are required

Key specifications

• Anchor diameter: 8 mm
• Total length: 155 mm
• Sleeve type: collared (overmoulded) sleeve for centring and flush finish
• Fixing method: screwed anchor with expansion action in masonry
• Tool head options: surface-mounted head and countersunk head for different finishes
• Intended substrate: masonry and block materials used in façade systems

How to use

Drill a clearance hole through the cladding and insulation into the masonry substrate to the required embedment depth. Clean the hole of dust and debris, insert the collared sleeve through the insulation and place the anchor so the collar sits flush with the outer surface. Drive the screw using the appropriate tool head variant until the sleeve expands in the masonry and the desired embedment is reached. For countersunk finishes, use the countersunk tool option and ensure the head sits slightly below the surface; for surface-mounted finishes, use the surface-mounted head option and tighten until secure. Check that the element is held firmly and that torque limits recommended for the substrate are not exceeded.

Usage recommendations

Select the tool head variant that matches the intended visible finish before installation and verify drill diameter and embedment depth against the base material. Use anchors only in appropriate masonry substrates and follow project specifications for spacing and edge distances to ensure stable load distribution.
