Usage
The Fischer SX Plus 12x60mm expansion anchors are designed for securely fixing objects such as shelves, bathroom fittings, and electrical installations into solid and hollow building materials including concrete, masonry, and sand-lime brick.
Advantages
- 4-way expansion provides high holding values in a variety of substrates.
- Innovative fixing wings enable screw pre-fixation for hands-free installation.
- Expansion-free plug neck prevents surface damage to tiles or plaster when tightening the screw.
- Narrow shape allows for simple placement with reduced insertion effort—especially useful in overhead applications.
- The pronounced edge prevents the plug from slipping deeper into the drill hole during installation.
Specifications
- Plastic anchor made from high-quality nylon for long-term durability and resistance to aging and environmental factors.
- Suits pre-positioned or push-through installation techniques; compatible with wood and chipboard screws (8–10 mm diameter).
- Total anchor length: 60 mm; recommended drill diameter: 12 mm; minimum drill hole depth: at least the length of the anchor (60 mm).
- Differentiating features include fixing wings for quick assembly, rotation lock to prevent turning during use, and an expansion-free neck zone that protects fragile surfaces.
How it works
The SX Plus is inserted into a pre-drilled hole. Its special wings hold the screw in place before final tightening. When driven in, the plug expands in four directions inside the wall material for maximum holding power without exerting pressure on exterior surfaces. This makes mounting efficient while protecting delicate coverings like tiles or plaster.
