Frame Fixings – Carbon Steel – Masonry Support

Product Overview

Our Nylon Hammer Fixings feature a 5mm shank diameter and 50mm length, designed for rapid and reliable installation into masonry, concrete, or blockwork. These fixings combine a high-strength nylon plug with a zinc-plated drive nail, allowing for fast installation without the need for screw tightening.

The 5 x 50mm variant is suitable for medium-duty applications, offering increased anchorage depth and holding strength for battens, trunking, and general-purpose profiles.

Features & Benefits
