Universal Wall Plug

The plastic universal wall plug is widely used in construction and installation work for various purposes. It is used to install fasteners in walls made of brick, concrete, natural stone and other dense solid materials.

The plastic wall plug is installed into a pre-drilled hole of the corresponding length and diameter, after which a screw is driven into it to fix various structures and profiles. The durable polypropylene wall plug holds securely in the hole, is protected against falling out, and firmly retains the fastener.

Manufacturing features and characteristics

Plastic wall plugs are made of polypropylene: a strong, resilient material that is completely resistant to corrosion. It is not affected by contact with moisture or temperature fluctuations, and can be used together with zinc-plated fasteners protected against corrosive environmental effects. The plastic wall plug can be used in both exterior and interior finishing work.

The polypropylene plug is driven into the pre-drilled hole using a simple hand tool; it can be cut at the end to provide a stronger fixation in the wall or slab. The wide popularity of plastic wall plugs is due to several important characteristics:

• Strength and pull-out resistance. The product is securely fixed in the hole, which may be aided by additional mounting ribs.
• Resistance to high and low temperatures. The wall plug does not lose strength under repeated sharp temperature changes.
• No susceptibility to corrosion. Polypropylene does not decay on contact with moisture or atmospheric air, and is not degraded by exposure to aggressive substances.
• Ability to install countersunk-head screws. This type of fastener barely protrudes above the surface of the material, allowing the use of various finishing options for facades or interior spaces.
• Versatility. This plastic plug can be used with various types of fasteners and will perform its task perfectly.

Polypropylene products retain their original properties at temperatures up to +80 degrees Celsius, and they also withstand contact with gasoline and other aggressive substances. Universal fasteners are used in apartments, country houses, offices, and garages, making them suitable for use in any premises.

Applications of plastic wall plugs

The plastic expansion wall plug is securely fixed in a dense base and holds the fastener in place. This makes it possible to install various mounting profiles, wall-mounted plumbing fixtures, light fittings, cladding panels and much more. Universal wall plugs can be installed in concrete, reinforced concrete, and brickwork, and are also used for installation in silicate brick, limestone and other materials. A hole is drilled into the base with a hammer drill, and the wall plug is driven in with a hammer and securely fixed.

Special ribs and other features ensure the wall plug stays fixed even if the hole is slightly larger than required. They perform an expansion function. Once the screw is driven in, the wall plug fills the entire space of the hole and is guaranteed not to fall out of the wall. However, it can be reused if necessary: during removal, the screw is unscrewed with a screwdriver or power driver, and the wall plug is extracted from the wall.

Universal plastic products are produced in a wide range of sizes, so you can select a suitable length and diameter. A matching threaded screw is usually included in the set for ease of installation.
