  • The permissible static load for a single fixing must not exceed 15 kg.
  • Use an 8 × 40 mm nylon expansion plug (e.g., Fischer DuoPower) together with a compatible screw with a diameter of 6 mm.
  • Maintain a minimum distance of 50 mm between the fixing and the edge of the board.
  • Pre-drill an 8 mm diameter hole without impact or hammer drilling.
