Frame Fixings – Carbon Steel – Reliable Masonry Applications

Product Overview

These industrial-grade nylon hammer fixings feature a 6mm shank diameter and 60mm length, perfect for rapid and reliable installation into masonry, concrete, or blockwork. The design combines a high-strength nylon plug with a zinc-plated drive nail, ensuring fast installation without the need for screw tightening.

The 6 x 60mm variant is ideal for deeper fixings, providing increased anchorage depth and stability for battens, trunking, and structural profiles.

Features & Benefits

• Material Composition: Nylon plug paired with zinc-plated carbon steel nail offers strength and corrosion resistance.
• Design: One-piece hammer-in fixing allows for fast and simple installation.
• Performance: Expanding nylon sleeve ensures consistent grip in solid materials.
• Ease of Use: Install by hammering directly through the fixture without pre-assembly.
• Durability: Resistant to moisture, ageing, and temperature variation.
• Load Suitability: Suitable for deeper fixing applications.

Applications

• Timber Battens: Secure deeper or thicker battens to masonry surfaces.
• Cable Trunking and Conduit: Fix containment where extra penetration is needed.
• Profiles and Channels: Attach deeper or structural profiles securely.
• Interior Fittings: Fix into solid substrates with greater embedment depth.

Installation Guidance

• Drill Hole Preparation: Drill a 6mm diameter hole to the required depth using a masonry or SDS bit.
• Clean Borehole: Remove debris to enable full plug expansion.
• Insert Fixing: Position the fixture and push the fixing through into the drilled hole.
• Hammer In: Drive the nail until the head seats flush, activating plug expansion.
• Avoid Overdriving: Excessive impact can deform the plug and reduce holding capacity.

Compliance & Performance
