A Guide to
Wall Mounting & Fixings
| IMPORTANT: |
| When drilling into walls always check that there are no hidden wires or pipes etc. 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) 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 the plug is fitting below the ceramic tile to avoid 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, wood or plaster board.
“Standard” Wall Plug General Wall Materials
These come in
various sizes and are made from plastic or sometimes wood fiber. |
“General Purpose” Wall Plug Aerated / Breeze Block

Purpose Plug can
be used. |
“Shield Anchor” Wall Plug Heavy Loads
For use with heavier loads such as TV & HiFi Speakers and Satellite Dishes etc. |
“Cavity Fixing”
Wall Plug
For use with plaster board partitions or
hollow wooden doors. |
“Cavity Fixing - Heavy Duty” Wall Plug
For use when fitting or supporting heavy loads
such as
shelving, wall
cabinets, coat racks. |

rather than the plaster board. Always check the fixing is secure to the retaining wall. |
