Product Overview:

Transform your plasterboard fixings with Forgefix 52mm cavity wall anchors. These specialist fixings feature a dual-compatible pozi and slotted drive threaded insert, giving you flexibility in installation methods. Built with an all-metal construction, these anchors excel in heat-resistant applications.

The zinc-plated finish creates a protective barrier, actively preventing oxidation and maintaining structural integrity over time. When you tighten the threaded bolt, the anchor's centre collapses outwards. This action creates firm pressure against the plasterboard's reverse side, resulting in a steadfast fixing that maintains its hold even after screw removal.

The built-in anti-rotation teeth pierce the base plasterboard skin, securing a reliable anchor point.

Applications:

These robust fixings shine in heavy-duty tasks. You'll find them perfect for mounting radiators and securing wall units where standard fixings might fall short. Their permanent nature makes them a reliable choice for fixtures you plan to keep in place.

FAQs:

• What load weight can Forgefix M5 52mm cavity anchors support?
  These cavity anchors are rated for heavy-duty applications, supporting weights suitable for radiators and kitchen wall units. For optimal load distribution, space multiple anchors at 300mm intervals and always follow manufacturer weight specifications for your specific fixture.
• How do you install Forgefix cavity wall anchors correctly?
  First, drill an 8mm hole through your plasterboard. Clean away any debris, insert the anchor, and turn clockwise until the teeth grip. Using a screwdriver or setting gun, tighten until you feel resistance - this indicates the back plate has engaged. Complete the installation by securing your fixture with the appropriate screws.
• Are Forgefix cavity anchors suitable for bathroom installations?
  Yes, these zinc-plated steel anchors resist moisture and humidity, making them suitable for bathroom installations. They're particularly effective for mounting towel radiators, cabinets, and heavy bathroom fixtures where moisture resistance is essential.
• What's the difference between these cavity anchors and standard wall plugs?
  Unlike standard wall plugs, these cavity anchors create a permanent metal fixing by expanding behind the plasterboard. The zinc-plated steel construction and anti-rotation teeth provide superior strength and stability, making them ideal for heavy fixtures where standard plugs would fail.
• Can you use Forgefix cavity anchors in all wall types?
  These anchors are specifically designed for plasterboard cavity walls with sufficient void space behind them. They require a minimum cavity depth of 52mm. For solid walls, brick, or concrete, use appropriate masonry fixings instead.
• What's the minimum cavity space needed behind the plasterboard for these anchors?
  You need a minimum cavity space of 52mm behind the plasterboard for proper anchor expansion. The maximum material thickness they can fix through is 20mm, ensuring optimal grip and load distribution when installed correctly.
