Product Description
Using their uniquely patented designed slim gripping wings, GripIt Fixings fold out in the gap behind the plasterboard to create one of the most effective and secure fixings on the market today. Available in varying sizes, the GripIt 18mm Plasterboard Fixing (Red) is designed for medium to heavy loads. Such as shower units, shelves, cabinets and heated towel rails.
For even heavier loads, take a look at the GripIt 20mm Plasterboard Fixing (Brown) or GripIt 25mm Plasterboard Fixing (Blue).
If the GripIt is too wide for your application, such as a slimline floating shelf, try the fischer DuoTec Plasterboard Toggle Fixing.
GripIt 18mm Plasterboard Fixing Advantages
- Easy to fit.
- Reusable fittings.
- The design spreads the load over twice the diameter of the fixing. Thus ensuring the even distribution of any stresses over a wide area.
- GripIt 18mm Plasterboard Fixing (Red) holds up to 74kg (safe static shear load).
- Comes with Gripit 5 x 30mm screws.
Functioning
- The GripIt 18mm Plasterboard Fixing (Red) is suitable for use in 9.5 to 15mm thick plasterboard.
- Mark the location, drill the hole using the recommended size flat bit and tap in the GripIt. Push in the insert with a screwdriver and a simple twist spreads the GripIt wings behind the board.
- Minimum spacing between GripIts (centres) is 30mm.
- If you encounter double thickness plasterboard or dot and dab adhesive, an undercutting tool accessory will create a recess for the wings to rotate into place.
