Blue Wall Plugs ⁵⁄₁₆” (100 pcs)

Blue Wall Plugs ⁵⁄₁₆” – Reliable 100-Piece Masonry Anchors for Medium Loads

These Blue Wall Plugs are an essential and reliable fastener for securing medium-weight fixtures to solid wall surfaces. The standard 5/16″ diameter (approx. 8mm) is highly versatile for common household and light commercial mounting tasks. Supplied in a generous 100-piece box, they offer excellent value for both contractors and extensive DIY projects.

The design features a finned/grooved plastic body that enhances the plug’s ability to grip the inside of the drilled hole, effectively preventing rotation during the crucial screw insertion phase and ensuring a secure, long-lasting hold in masonry, concrete, and brick. Made from durable plastic/nylon, the plug expands reliably as the screw is driven in, creating a powerful mechanical lock.

Key Benefits

• Versatile Fixing: 5/16″ size provides reliable anchorage for securing medium-weight fixtures.

• Anti-Rotation Design: External fins/grooves lock the plug in place, preventing spinning during screw insertion.

• High-Volume Value: Box of 100 pieces is cost-effective for contractors and repeated DIY projects.

• Durable Material: Made from robust, non-brittle plastic/nylon for reliable expansion and longevity.

• Universal Masonry Use: Provides a secure grip in concrete, solid brick, blockwork, and stone.

• Fastening: Drive the appropriate screw.

• Safety: Wear safety glasses when drilling into masonry.

Pro Tips

• Use a drill bit that is the same diameter as the plug for a snug fit; too small will prevent insertion, and too large will reduce holding power.

• For maximum holding power, ensure the screw being used is the correct length to fully engage the entire length of the plug.

• The blue color may be a universal color code for a specific drill bit size in your region (e.g., 6.5mm or 7mm).

• Do not use in soft substrates like drywall alone unless the back of the plug can be secured.
