eg:
No. 1 “General Purpose” wall plug

Generally aerated blocks should
not be used to support heavy loads,
use a specialist tting in this case.
For light loads, general purpose
wall plugs can be used.
For use when attaching light loads
onto plasterboard partitions.
For use when tting or supporting
heavy loads such as shelving, wall
cabinets and coat racks.
For use with heavier loads such as
TV and HiFi speakers and satelite
dishes etc.
For use with plasterboard partitions
or hollow wooden doors.

plasterboard. The hammer xing
allows it to be xed to the wall

the retaining wall.

hole.
4. Take extra care when drilling high walls, ceilings and ceramic tiles. Ensure
wall plugs are inserted beyond the thickness of the ceramic tiles to avoid
the tiles splitting or cracking.

If you are in any doubt about the
correct wall plugs for your wall,
