Product Overview
Metal Insulation Support Fixings with an 8mm shank diameter and 90mm length. Designed for securing insulation boards, panels, and lightweight facings to masonry or concrete substrates, these fixings provide a reliable mechanical hold in both solid and hollow materials.
Manufactured from corrosion-resistant zinc-plated steel, the design ensures long-term stability in internal and sheltered external applications. The integrated washer head offers broad load distribution, preventing damage or compression to insulation surfaces.
The precision-formed expansion zone delivers consistent grip strength across variable substrate densities.
8 x 90mm size provides dependable retention depth for medium insulation boards in general-purpose wall and soffit installations.
Features & Benefits
- Strong mechanical anchoring: Provides secure, load-bearing attachment for insulation materials on masonry and concrete surfaces.
- Corrosion-resistant construction: Zinc-plated steel resists rust and oxidation, maintaining long-term integrity in damp or humid environments.
- Integrated washer head: Broad steel washer distributes pressure evenly, preventing surface crushing or pull-through on soft insulation boards.
- Controlled expansion design: Expansion section ensures tight, uniform engagement in drilled holes, even in uneven substrates.
- Thermal stability: Metal body maintains consistent grip under varying temperature conditions without deformation.
- Size - 8 x 90mm: Suitable for medium insulation panels requiring deeper embedment and stable fixing depth.
Applications
- External wall insulation: For fastening insulation boards to solid brick, block, or concrete substrates.
- Internal dry-lining systems: Used to retain thermal or acoustic insulation behind wall linings and partitions.
- Ceiling and soffit insulation: Secure installation of overhead insulation panels with reliable load-bearing capacity.
- Service duct and void insulation: Provides durable fixing of insulation around building service routes.
Installation Guidance
- Drill preparation: Use an 8mm diameter masonry bit to the full 90mm depth to ensure proper embedment.
- Hole cleaning: Remove dust and debris before inserting the fixing to achieve full expansion.
- Fixing insertion: Insert the metal anchor through the insulation board and tap gently into place until flush with the surface.
- Expansion setting: Drive the central pin or screw to activate the expansion section, achieving a tight mechanical lock.
- Inspection: Confirm fixings are secure and washers sit flat without distortion or over-compression.
Compliance & Performance
- Material composition: Zinc-plated carbon steel for enhanced corrosion protection and mechanical strength.
- Performance rating: Designed for medium-load applications in concrete, brick, and block substrates.
- Thermal classification: Suitable for insulation systems operating between -20°C and +80°C.
- Environmental compliance: Manufactured to meet RoHS and REACH standards for material safety.
- Important note: Always verify substrate condition and insulation type before installation to ensure correct fixing selection and performance.
