Product Overview:

You'll find these specialist plasterboard cavity wall plug fixings essential for your heavy-duty mounting needs. These fixings are built with an innovative all-metal design that gives you reliable strength and durability for demanding applications like mounting radiators and wall units.

The clever design includes anti-rotation teeth that pierce the base plasterboard skin, creating a steadfast anchor point. When you tighten the fixing, the centre section collapses outwards and presses firmly against the back of the plasterboard. This creates an unmovable fixing that maintains its hold even after removing the screw.

The zinc-plated coating works in two ways to protect your fixing - it creates a protective barrier and acts as a sacrificial anode if that barrier gets damaged. Unlike iron oxide, the resulting zinc oxide forms a fine white dust that won't compromise the metal's surface integrity, offering additional protection against further oxidation.

Frequently Asked Questions:

• How do I install Forgefix M4 cavity wall anchors correctly?
  Start by drilling an 8mm hole in your plasterboard. Insert the cavity anchor and use a Pozi screwdriver or cavity anchor setting gun to tighten it. The anchor will collapse behind the plasterboard, creating a secure fixing. Always ensure the wall can support the intended load before installation.
• What weight can Forgefix M4 cavity anchors support in plasterboard?
  These M4 cavity anchors are rated for heavy-duty applications in plasterboard walls. They're suitable for mounting radiators and kitchen units when properly installed. For best results, use multiple fixings and always check your specific radiator or unit's mounting requirements.
• What's the difference between Forgefix cavity anchors and standard wall plugs?
  Forgefix cavity anchors provide superior strength through their all-metal construction and unique collapsing mechanism. Unlike standard wall plugs, they create a permanent fixing by expanding behind the plasterboard and feature anti-rotation teeth for additional stability.
• Why do cavity wall anchors need zinc plating?
  Zinc plating provides essential corrosion protection through a dual-action mechanism. It creates a protective barrier and acts as a sacrificial anode, preventing rust and extending the fixing's lifespan. This makes these anchors suitable for areas exposed to moisture, such as bathrooms and kitchens.
• Can Forgefix cavity anchors be used in all wall types?
  These anchors are specifically designed for plasterboard cavity walls up to 12mm thick. They're not suitable for solid walls, concrete, or block work. For these materials, you'll need alternative fixings such as wall plugs or concrete anchors.
• What size drill bit and tools do I need for Forgefix cavity anchors?
  You'll need an 8mm masonry drill bit, a drill with hammer action disabled, a Pozi screwdriver or a cavity anchor setting gun. For best results, mark your drilling point carefully and ensure you're not drilling near electrical cables or pipes.
