Wall plugs are a type of fastener used to attach objects to walls or other surfaces. They are designed to provide a secure and durable anchor point for screws, bolts, or other fasteners.
Wall plugs are typically made of plastic or nylon and are available in various sizes to suit different screw or bolt sizes. They are inserted into a pre-drilled hole in the wall or surface, and the screw or bolt is then inserted into the wall plug.
As the screw or bolt is tightened, it causes the wall plug to expand and grip the wall, creating a secure and reliable anchor point for the object being fixed.
Some of the advantages of using wall plugs include:
Quick and easy to install
Suitable for use in a variety of wall materials, such as concrete, brick, and plasterboard
Provide a strong and durable anchor point
Can be used for light to medium loads
Resistant to corrosion and weathering
When using wall plugs, it is important to use the correct size and type of fixing for the load requirements and the wall material. It is also important to follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper installation and to ensure that the object being fixed is securely anchored to the wall or surface.
