ADVANTAGES

APPLICATIONS

Due to the extensive range, the HM

is suitable for board building materials with a thickness of 3-50 mm and
thus suitable for a number of dierent
applications.
The metric internal thread allows the
attachment to be removed and retted
several times, thus oering the best
possible exibility.
The HMs expanding arms ensure a
large supporting surface, thus allowing
a high load-bearing capacity.
The claws around the edge of the xing penetrate the board building material, preventing the xing from rotating,
thus ensuring a secure installation.

FUNCTIONING
The metal cavity xing HM is suitable
for pre-positioned installation.
The xing should be selected based
on the thickness of the board building
material, to allow the very best expansion in the cavity.
During installation, the expanding
arms swing open and press onto the
reverse side of the board.
The HM can be installed using installation pliers. If using a battery operated
screwdriver or screwdriver for installation, the pre-assembled screws must
be removed rst. When screwing in
and expanding the xing, the attachment, or a max. 6 mm plate, needs to
be used as a turning stop.

ADVANTAGES

APPLICATIONS

The long threaded rod of the toggle

xings KD and KDH allows for use
with dierent board thicknesses and
thick attachments, and oers maximum exibility.
An integrated tension spring causes
the catch elements of the spring toggles KD3+4 and KDH3+4 to open
independently, thus allowing for a
simple installation.
The wide transition beams ensure a
good load distribution. This achieves a
high load-bearing capacity.
The nylon gravity toggle K54 allows
for the use of standard wood and
chipboard screws.

FUNCTIONING
The gravity and spring toggle are suitable for pre-positioned installation.
When placed in the drill hole, the bearing elements of the gravity and spring
toggles independently swing open
behind the board.
The KM10 is specially suited to xing
wash basins and urinals into installation and cavity walls.
No special installation tool required.
For a fast and convenient installation.

ADVANTAGES

APPLICATIONS

The operating principle of the xing

allows for use in various board thicknesses, including in low cavity depths.
This provides great exibility.
The special xing geometry with a
nylon cone ensures a high tightening
torque that can be identied immediately. This oers a high level of installation safety.
The longitudinal ribs prevent the xing
from rotating in the drill hole, thus
allowing for a reliable installation.
The board xing PD can be used with
the most wide-ranging screws, hooks
and eye screws. This allows for a
broad range of applications.

FUNCTIONING
The board xing PD is suitable for prepositioned installation.
Use rotary drilling to create the drill
hole.
When the screw is tightened, the
plastic cone is pulled into the sleeve
and expands the xing.
Use full-thread screws, or alternatively,
the part of the screw without thread
may not be longer than the thickness
of the item being attached.
Do not use screws with double-start
threads.

ADVANTAGES

APPLICATIONS

FUNCTIONING

The included setting tool combines

the drilling and xing setting functions.
It thus allows for a fast and simple
installation.
The sharp, self-tapping thread of the
GK enables a secure, positive t xing.
This achieves a high load-bearing
capacity.
The short xing length means that
only a small amount of space is
required behind the board. As a result,
the GK can also be used in the case of
unknown board thickness and cavity
depth.
The cross-drive recess in the head of
the xing means that the GK can also
be screwed out like a screw without a
setting tool.
The GK can be used with the most
wide-ranging screws, hooks and eye
screws. This allows for a broad range
of applications.

The gypsum plasterboard xing GK is

suitable for pre-positioned installation.
The GK is screwed ush into the
gypsum plasterboard using the setting
tool provided. Overtightening the
xing should be avoided. Therefore,
the installation torque should be
limited when using a battery operated
screwdriver.
Adapted for wood, self-tapping and
chipboard screws of 4.0 to 5.0mm
diameter.
For board thicknesses greater than
15mm, drill a hole rst by using the
setting tool.
Not suitable for gypsum breboard
