Wall plugs

Wall plugs are blind fasteners: one end of the fastener is inaccessible for installation tool action. There are two main types — anchor-action and expansion-action. Each type is intended for its own scope of work.

Wall plugs are classified by material and by size range. They are produced from plastics and from metals.

A wall plug is used to join elements in various structures. Structurally, it is a hollow plastic or metal insert placed into a pre-drilled hole sized to match the plug. The wall plug provides reliable fixation of the fastener. It is used in manufacturing, construction and repair work.

A wall plug often acts as a sealing element that secures a screw or nail — it is the screw or nail that provides the actual fastening.

When selecting a wall plug, the material of the product, its dimensions, and the properties of the surface material into which it is installed must be taken into account.

Wooden wall plugs, including homemade ones, used to be common, but they did not provide sufficient durability or reliability of fastening. Modern requirements have led to the use of new materials: wall plugs made of high-strength plastic are now common, gradually displacing metal products.

The特点 of plug-type fastening is that the fastener cannot be removed from the mounting surface without damaging the plug or the material itself. Removing such a fastener requires considerable effort. This is both an advantage and a disadvantage of the wall plug: on one hand, high fastening strength; on the other, inconvenience when quick removal is needed. In such cases, the wall plug is often left in the material (for example, in a wall), and the surface is finished with plaster, putty or other finishing material.
