Important note:

Important:   When drilling into walls always

check that there are no hidden wires or pipes etc.

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.

Make sure that the screws and wall plugs being used

are suitable for supporting your unit. Consult a qualified

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.

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.

For use with plasterboard partitions or

hollow wooden doors.

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.

For use when attaching light loads on

to plasterboard partitions.

For use when fitting or supporting

heavy loads such as shelving, wall

cabinets and coat racks.

For use with heavier loads such as TV

& HiFi speakers and satelite dishes etc.
