A Guide to - Wall Mounting & Fixings
Important note:
If plastic wall plugs 
are supplied with your 
product:
- these are only suitable for 
use in masonry walls. 
If you are in any doubt about 
the correct wall plugs for 
your wall, seek professional 
advice.
Failure of the product due to 
using incorrect fxings is the 
responsibility of the installer.
Important: When drilling into walls always  
check that there are no hidden wires or pipes etc. 
Make sure that the screws and wall plugs being used 
are suitable for supporting your unit. Consult a qualifed 
tradesperson if you are unsure.
Hints:
1: General rule:  Always use a larger screw and wall plug 
if you are not sure.
2: Ensure you use the recommended drill bit to match the wall  
plug and hole size.
3: Ensure you drill the hole horizontally, do not force the drill or
enlarge the 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.
5: Ensure wall plugs are well ftted and are a tight ft in the  
drilled hole.
Types of walls
No.1 “General Purpose” wall plug 
Generally aerated blocks should not  
be used to support heavy loads, use  
a specialist ftting in this case. For light 
loads, general purpose wall plugs can 
be used. 
No.2 “Plasterboard” wall plug
You can use one of the following types of wall plug if your walls are made   
of brick, breeze block, concrete, stone or wood.
No.3 “Cavity Fixing” wall plug
For use with plasterboard partitions or 
hollow wooden doors.
No.4 “Cavity Fixing-Heavy Duty”
wall plug
No.5 “Hammer Fixing” wall plug
For use with walls stuck with 
plasterboard. The hammer fxing allows 
it to be fxed to the wall rather than the 
plasterboard. Always check the fxing 
is secure to the retaining wall.
No.6 “Shield Anchor” wall plug 
Heavy loads
For use when attaching light loads on 
to plasterboard partitions.
Care & 
Maintenance

& HiFi speakers and satelite dishes etc.
Fitting: From time to time check  
the ftting to ensure the wall plugs  
or screws do not become loose.
