M6 Anchor Fixings 4 Pack

I have a 50 inch flatscreen, which weighs a scary amount to hang on any wall. I have a swivel, tilt and extend mount, which says in its instructions that it must only be attached to solid masonry (concrete) or a stud wall. And the wall I want to hang all this from is a standard cavity wall with cellcon blocks on the inside, then skim plaster over plasterboard. I used four of these Rigifix fixings, two at the top, one in the middle and one at the bottom. They give a very reassuring look of being well engineered, and they all went in cleanly and very easily, and seem to give good hold. Before hanging the TV on the bracket, I did a pull-up on the bracket myself. These fixings are absurdly strong, and I am pretty confident they will hold the weight of the TV, even at the limit of the extension. You do need to make sure the holes you drill are clean and accurate. Probably worth buying a new 12mm masonry bit, and make sure you drill them in exactly the right place. You will not need to hammer drill if the wall is cellcon blocks. I used a 6mm hex bit for my drill to drive the fixing into the wall. You could probably use an Allen key, but it would be hard work, and harder to ensure that the fixing goes in straight. The fixings do not come with instructions. You drill a 12mm hole deep enough to take the whole of the plastic plug. Then slide the plug into the hole -- tap it all the way with a hammer if you need to, it should be a tight fit. There is a thin flange that remains on the surface. Then drive the outer bolt all the way into the plug -- it ends up a couple of mm below the surface. Finally, attach your bracket or whatever, using the inner bolt (philips cross-head). Good idea to use a washer unless the hole exactly matches.

Have used previously to hang tv's and heavy items to walls where they are plasterboard dabbed onto brick or breeze blocks. This usually leaves a gap which is not great when needing to hang heavy items. Normal plasterboard fixings are a waste of time and will just pull away and not be sturdy enough. These work by drilling a hole through the plasterboard and into the substrate. You then knock the long wall plug in until it is flush with the plasterboard. Now for the clever bit. A small metal tube is then inserted into the wall plug which effectively bridges the gap between the back of the plasterboard and the substrate. This means that you get a really solid fixing when you screw into it, but also it stops the plasterboard from being deformed and pulled in towards the substrate. Note that they come with special threaded bolts, not standard screws. You need a hex bit to tighten them and I would recommend using a variable drill to get the torque needed to screw them in properly. You may struggle if just using a standard screwdriver with the bit fitted. One final useful point - when inserting the small round metal tube you do this after you insert the wall plug. Don't try to fit the wall plug with the tube already in it.... It won't work! And to help you put it in, use a bit of wd40 or similar to help it glide in easily. Hope all this helps.

Id never normally leave a review but these fixings are fist class! Bought these to hang a large vertical radiator that weighed 55kg without any water in on to a dot and dab wall with thermolite block behind and they fix great. These will be my go to fixing on dot and dab walls from now on

Ordered on the Wednesday, posted on the Thursday arrived on the Saturday with free delivery which is very good these days with the postal system we have. Well packaged to which is nice to see. Yet to put the TV on the wall but they seem a very solid product that appears to be heavy duty and certainly looks more than capable of doing the required job of finally getting our 47" TV on the wall at last. 6 big plastic raw plugs, 6 very solid looking and feeling metal shafts and 6 1 inch (ish) bolts\screws to fix whatever it is you want to fix to your wall. I did have 2 slight concerns, and that was that there was nothing on the invoice regarding the requited drill bit size. But a quick look on the side of the raw plugs confirms what another member has said to require and that's a 12mm drill bit. It may help some if the required drill bit is mentioned in the product detail. Also as others have said either in this or another length or quantity version the screw\bolt head is to small for some uses (certainly fitting a TV bracket to the wall) and will likely go right through the spaces on a TV wall mounting bracket panel. Of cause this is nothing a handful of cheap washers won't sort but would still have preferred to pay that few pence more to have the washers included as part of the item than have to make an additional trip to go and buy them. Still, all in all they do seem to be the very best product for wall mounting heavy items where you have a plasterboard wall, a cavity and then a breeze block wall. Near a perfect product and would 110% buy again if and when required.

I purchased these Rigifix anchor to fix into Thermalite hi strength blocks. I tried a few other fixings that didn’t work well. These Ridifix are the dogs b******s for fixing in thermalite blocks.

These fittings were perfect (so far). It is holding up this wall mounted desk with 3 anchors on each bracket.

My problem with this product was that when tightening the bolt into the sleeve the plastic sleeve kept rotating (the correct drill was used) my solution was to push a bradawl through the plasterboard into the sleeve to hold it in place not very good, the block work behind the boarding did not seem to hold the sleeve!! I did eventually get a firm grip, luckily I was only fixing a lightweight TV bracket. Also the packaging was way over sized for 10 fixings which where just rolling about freely in the box, should have at least been packed tight. Also no instructions, so had to go onto their web site.
