Charles Bentley Gripit Red Plasterboard Fixing 18mm 25 Pack

These Red GRIPIT fixings, complete with 5mm screws, utilise a patented slim wing design. Ideal for both DIY enthusiasts and professional tradespeople, GRIPIT fixings are suitable for plasterboard thicknesses of 9.5mm to 15mm. Capable of supporting items up to 74kg, they offer a secure and reliable fixing solution for curtain rails, bookshelves, kitchen and bathroom units, radiators, boilers, and wall-mounted TVs. Unlike traditional plasterboard fixings that can fail over time, GRIPIT fixings ensure long-lasting stability by distributing the load evenly across a wide area – twice the diameter of the fixing itself – ensuring even distribution of any stresses. Installation is straightforward: simply mark the location, drill the appropriately sized hole using a flat drill bit, and tap in the GRIPIT fixing. Push in the insert with a screwdriver, and a simple twist deploys the wings behind the plasterboard. Job done. GRIPIT fixings are also reusable; just turn the wing screws to release and remove them. For double-thickness plasterboard or dot and dab adhesive situations, the optional GRIPIT Undercutting Tool creates the necessary recess for the wings to rotate into position.
