fischer FixTainer – DuoPower Wall Plug & Screws Box

Product Description

The fischer DuoPower wall plug is the perfect choice if you are unsure what type of wall you have, or if you have various wall types in your home and do not want to buy a different wall plug for each. The fischer FixTainer – DuoPower Wall Plug Box offers a practical and useful solution for purchasing, storing and transporting a mix of sizes with accompanying screws.

The DuoPower’s clever design means it automatically adjusts to the appropriate wall type, by either expanding, folding or knotting. As a result, you can be assured of the best hold no matter the application. (Please see the “Installation Examples” and “Video” tabs above for some visual examples of this.) Therefore it is suitable for installing in building materials such as concrete, brick, plasterboard, stone and chipboard.

The fischer FixTainer Box contains an assortment of 105 DuoPower wall plugs and screws, consisting of various sizes;

• DuoPower 6 x 30mm – 60 plugs
• DuoPower 8 x 40mm – 30 plugs
• DuoPower 10 x 50mm – 15 plugs
• 4.5 x 40mm Zinc Plated Countersunk Head – 60 screws
• 5 x 60mm Zinc Plated Countersunk Head – 30 screws
• 7 x 69mm Zinc Plated Hexagon Head – 15 screws

The FixTainer box itself is very practical, with removable partitions, a large handle and a click system enabling multiple boxes to be stacked and connected together.

The DuoPower is part of fischer’s DuoLine range of wall plugs. For more information on the complete range, please see our buying guide Why Choose the fischer DuoLine Wall Plug Range?.

fischer DuoPower Wall Plug Advantages

• Two component materials for top load values and intelligent functioning depending on the substrate.
• Great feedback (feel-good factor) of the plug. You can feel exactly when the plug is installed perfectly.
• The short plug length ensures fast fixing without deep drilling.
• No slipping in the drill hole thanks to the plug’s narrow rim.
• The serrated sides of the plug prevent rotation in the drill hole during fitting.

Fischer DuoPower Wall Plug Functioning

• The DuoPower is suitable for pre-positioned and push-through installation.
• The required screw length is – plug length + fixture thickness + 1x the screw diameter.
• Suitable for wood and chipboard screws, as well as stud screws. We recommend fischer’s Power-Fast II Wood Screws.
• In the case of fixing boards, the threadless part of the screw must not be longer than the fixture.
