Blue Wall Plugs 5/16 in 100pcs

Description

Blue Wall Plugs ⁵⁄₁₆” (100 pcs) Blue Wall Plugs ⁵⁄₁₆” – Reliable 100-Piece Masonry Anchors for Medium Loads These Blue Wall Plugs are an essential and reliable fastener for securing medium-weight fixtures to solid wall surfaces. The standard 5/16″ diameter (approx. 8mm) is highly versatile for common household and light commercial mounting tasks. Supplied in a generous 100-piece box, they offer excellent value for both contractors and extensive DIY projects. The design features a finned/grooved plastic body that enhances the plug’s ability to grip the inside of the drilled hole, effectively preventing rotation during the crucial screw insertion phase and ensuring a secure, long-lasting hold in masonry, concrete, and brick. Made from durable plastic/nylon, the plug expands reliably as the screw is driven in, creating a powerful mechanical lock. Key Benefits Versatile Fixing: 5/16″ size provides reliable anchorage for securing medium-weight fixtures. Anti-Rotation Design: External fins/grooves lock the plug in place, preventing spinning during screw insertion. High-Volume Value: Box of 100 pieces is cost-effective for contractors and repeated DIY projects. Durable Material: Made from robust, non-brittle plastic/nylon for reliable expansion and longevity. Universal Masonry Use: Provides a secure grip in concrete, solid brick, blockwork, and stone. Technical Specifications Product Type: Plastic Wall Plug / Masonry Anchor Quantity: 100 Pieces Diameter: 5/16 inch (Approx. 8mm) Material: Plastic / Nylon Color: Blue Design: Finned/Grooved, Anti-Rotation Application: Concrete, Brick, Block (Masonry) Grade: Utility/Residential Perfect For Mounting medium shelving, cabinets, and television brackets. Installing handrails, support brackets, and heavy wall fixtures. Electrical and plumbing installations (securing trunking, pipes). High-volume residential wall mounting. Application Instructions Drilling: Use a hammer drill and a masonry bit sized for 5/16″ plugs. Cleaning: Clear the drilled hole of all dust and debris. Insertion: Insert the plastic plug into the hole until it is flush with the wall surface. Fastening: Drive the appropriate screw. Safety: Wear safety glasses when drilling into masonry. Pro Tips Use a drill bit that is the same diameter as the plug for a snug fit; too small will prevent insertion, and too large will reduce holding power. For maximum holding power, ensure the screw being used is the correct length to fully engage the entire length of the plug. The blue color may be a universal color code for a specific drill bit size in your region (e.g., 6.5mm or 7mm). Do not use in soft substrates like drywall alone unless the back of the plug can be secured.
