Securpak Plasterboard Plugs Grey 12 Pack

Reliable Fixings for Lightweight Applications in Hollow Walls

Product Overview

The Securpak Plasterboard Plugs Grey 12 Pack offers a reliable solution for securing lightweight fixtures and fittings to plasterboard and other hollow wall materials. These plugs are designed to provide strong and stable anchorage in drywall where traditional wall plugs or screws alone may not hold effectively.

Unlike coloured wall plugs that typically correspond to specific drill bit sizes, grey plasterboard plugs do not indicate a fixed drill size, offering more flexibility in application and screw compatibility. Ideal for general household, DIY, or light-duty professional use, these plugs help distribute weight and reduce the risk of wall damage or fastener pull-out.

This pack of 12 is perfect for small to medium jobs, providing convenience and value for everyday fixing needs.

Installation Instructions

Mark the desired location and drill a pilot hole into the plasterboard using a standard drill bit.

Insert the grey plasterboard plug into the hole until flush with the surface.

Align your fitting (e.g., bracket or hook) and insert the screw through it into the plug.

Tighten the screw gradually; as it turns, the plug will expand behind the plasterboard, locking it securely in place.

Note: Always ensure the plug is flush with the wall before inserting the screw to avoid loosening or surface damage.

Care and Safety Tips

Use with lightweight loads only; not suitable for heavy shelving or structural fixings.

Avoid overtightening screws to prevent damage to the plug or plasterboard.

Not suitable for use in solid brick, block, or concrete wallsintended specifically for hollow wall applications.

Store in a cool, dry location to maintain plastic integrity over time.
