Rated 2 out of 5 by from Did not work as expected Sorry, picked these up on Saturday, based on excellent reviews. I needed to fix a towel rail into plasterboard, so drilled an 8mm hole as per instructions, inserted a no8 screw and turned. Unfortunately it just kept turning and never locked up, so I had to drill it out and repair the plasterboard. Will fix a batten to the timber uprights and fit the rail to that. So far, I am not impressed with these amazing fixings!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Better than expected I had to carry out an emergency repair on the handrail on our stairs. The bottom bracket fits to a brick wall, but the top goes on a hollow wall. I had previously used the self-tapping screw-in type fir the top: they held for about 10 years, but our extra lock-down weight has had its toll, and they were never 100% secure. I knew this wasn’t the strongest solution but I don’t have the tool for the best option so thought I’d give these plugs a go, albeit with low expectations. I’m amazed at the security of the fitting. It really is solid, and hasn’t budged a millimetre over the weekend. I think I would have preferred a slightly narrower plug, but otherwise these seem to be quality.

Fischer UX and Duopower wall plugs, what is the difference?

Asked by: Sarracino

Screw Diameter

Product specs state: "Suits Screw Diameter 4.5 mm"....shouldn't this product be a better match for a 6mm dia screws? 4.5mm is too thin and would usually use a 6 or 7mm plug for that. Please confirm if this product suits a 6mm diameter screw. Thanks
Asked by: Alibabba
The Fischer website states that UX8 Wall Plug will accept screw sizes from 4.5mm to 6 mm. I used 4.5 mm screws (as stated in Screwfix description) and they went in easily.

What screws do I need

Hi I am hanging a bike rack onto thermolite blocks. What screws will be best for this please
Asked by: 10Dale1987

Slipping...

I purchased these based on the feedback, however I have tried them on a sheet of plaster to see how they work and they slip - every time - they do not perform they way they are meant to perform - what am I doing wrong?
Asked by: Scope
1/ Drill Ø8mm hole in the plasterboard 2/ Now tap in the plug, it should require a little tap to go flush. 3/ You will need an Ø5mm or Ø6mm wood screw but importantly the screw needs to be at least 55mm long + the thickness of the plate/timber you are fixing to the wall. 4/ Place the plate/timber against the wall, trapping the plug and tighten the screw. 5/ Make sure there is enough room behind the plasterboard for the screw to go and not hit whatever is behind Any issues, please email technical@fischer.co.uk

What length of screw should be used?

I am looking to hang picture ledges as mentioned in a previous question, onto 12mm plasterboard, what length of screw should be used?
Asked by: Ross1984
Hi Ross The screw should be long enough to penetrate the plug. So has to be at least 65mm + the thickness of what you are hanging. Best Regards Technical Team
