Wall fixings
Step by step
Important
When drilling into walls always check there are no hidden wires or pipes
etc. Make sure that the screws and wall plugs being used are suitable for
supporting your unit. Consult a qualified tradesperson if you are unsure.
Hints
1. General Rule; Always use a larger screw and wall plug if you are not sure.
2. Ensure you use the recommended drill bit to match the wall plug and hole size.
3. Ensure you drill the hole horizontally, do not force the drill or enlarge the hole.
4. Take extra care when drilling high walls, ceilings and ceramic tiles. Ensure the plug is fitting below the
ceramic title to avoid splitting or cracking.
5. Ensure wall plugs are well fitted and are a tight fit in the drilled hole.
Types of Walls
You can use one of the following
types of wall plug if your walls
are made of brick, breeze
block, concrete, stone, wood
or plastic board.

These come in various sizes
and are made from plastic or
sometimes wood fibre.
