Light-Duty Wall Plugs and Anchors

Light-duty wall plugs are used to anchor light objects to walls: shelves, pictures, boxes, brackets and small appliances. They are generally made of nylon or polyethylene: inserted into the hole, they expand when the screw goes in and lock the fixing in the substrate.

Types in the collection

• Universal nylon plugs, suitable for several types of substrate
• Plugs with screw, including galvanised, already matched
• Hammer-in plugs, fixed with a blow of the hammer
• Plugs for hollow bricks and lightweight blocks
• Extended plugs, for passing through plaster or cladding
• Packs in blister, tub or tray for site and maintenance use

How to choose

First of all, the substrate matters: solid masonry, hollow brick and concrete call for different plugs. The length must exceed the thickness of the plaster or cladding and reach into the wall, the hole diameter must match that of the plug and the screw must be compatible. For heavy loads or uncertain substrates it is better to move to heavy-duty fixings.
