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 fixings 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 fitted and are a tight fit in the
drilled hole.

Types of walls

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.1 “General Purpose” wall plug No.3 “Cavity Fixing” wall plug No.5 “Hammer Fixing” wall plug

Generally aerated blocks should not
be used to support heavy loads, use
a specialist fitting in this case. For light
loads, general purpose wall plugs can
be used.

No.2 “Plasterboard” wall plug

For use with plasterboard partitions or
hollow wooden doors.

No.4 “Cavity Fixing-Heavy Duty”

wall plug

For use with walls stuck with
plasterboard. The hammer fixing allows
it to be fixed to the wall rather than the
plasterboard. Always check the fixing
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

For use when fitting or supporting
heavy loads such as shelving, wall
cabinets and coat racks.

Safety: Always check the fitting
and location to ensure your safety
in and around the home.

For use with heavier loads such as TV
& HiFi speakers and satelite dishes etc.

Fitting: From time to time check
the fitting to ensure the wall plugs
or screws do not become loose.
