Frame Fixings – Carbon Steel – Heavy-Duty Applications

Product Overview

Our high-performance nylon frame fixings feature a 10mm shank diameter and 80mm length, designed for secure installation of medium to heavy-duty frames, timber battens, and construction components into solid masonry, concrete, or dense blockwork.

The larger shank diameter ensures a higher load capacity and improved resistance to pull-out and shear. The durable nylon plug delivers uniform expansion, providing a firm hold even in variable substrates. This 10 x 80mm variant is ideal for reinforced door or window installations.

Features & Benefits

• Material composition: High-quality nylon plug paired with a zinc-plated carbon steel screw for enhanced strength and corrosion resistance.
• Design: Expanding sleeve profile ensures consistent engagement and secure hold in dense materials.
• Performance: Controlled expansion delivers superior grip without substrate cracking.
• Ease of use: Pre-assembled fixing allows for fast and accurate installation through frames and battens.
• Durability: Resistant to moisture, ageing, and temperature variations for long-lasting service.
• Load suitability: Perfect for medium to heavy-duty frame fixing applications.

Applications

• Window and door frames: Securely fix reinforced or heavy frame types into masonry.
• Timber battens: Anchor battens or support channels where stronger holding force is required.
• Structural supports: Fix heavier sections or subframes to solid substrates.
• Service installations: Secure heavy-duty conduit brackets or equipment rails.

Installation Guidance

• Drill hole preparation: Drill a 10mm diameter hole to the full depth of the fixing.
• Clean borehole: Remove dust and debris to ensure full sleeve expansion.
• Insert assembly: Push the pre-assembled fixing through the frame and into the drilled hole.
• Drive screw: Tighten until the plug expands completely and the head seats flush.
• Avoid over-tightening: Excess torque can reduce expansion efficiency and compromise grip.

Compliance & Performance

• Material specification: Nylon PA6 plug with zinc-plated carbon steel screw.
• Corrosion resistance: Conforms to EN ISO 9227 for indoor and sheltered outdoor use.
• Thermal stability: Maintains performance between -20°C and +80°C.
• Important note: Ensure substrate integrity and correct drill diameter before installation.
