New SX Plus expansion plug by fischer

Clever fastening, simple installation

SX Plus is replacing the popular fischer SX expansion plug. The added plus of the new fastening is its special fixation wings, which fix the screw before it is inserted by lightly pushing it into the plug. SX Plus can be used with timber and chipboard or spacing screws.

Simple installation thanks to pre-fixed screw
The fixation wings immediately fold inwards when the SX Plus is inserted in the drill hole. By slightly inserting the screw, it locks into place where it is retained. Depending on the construction material, the inserted screw can even fasten lightweight fixtures, meaning the user has both hands free during the setting process. This guarantees significantly easier installation, particularly during challenging overhead applications. SX Plus offers a firm hold in the drill hole with little effort. Just a few blows with a hammer are sufficient to ensure the plug’s setting process is completed thanks to its special design.

Simple and safe screw insertion
The new SX Plus expansion plug offers additional advantages for simple and secure fastening, for instance in concrete, solid bricks, solid lime-sand brick, aerated concrete as well as hollow core ceilings made of brick and concrete. The pronounced rim prevents the plug from slipping further into the drill hole during insertion. Its expansion-free plug neck prevents the creation of expansion forces on the material surface while the screw is screwed in, 
 which helps to prevent damage to tiles and plaster. 

Another advantage of the new SX Plus is that the plug automatically expands in four directions while the screw is tightened. This 4-way expansion enables secure anchorage and provides the optimum force distribution in the construction material while guaranteeing high retaining values in solid and hollow building materials, as well as particularly hard materials. The anti-rotation lock prevents the plug from rotating during the screw process. Last but not least, users can tell when the screw’s setting process is finished thanks to the tangible tightening torque, which means any overwinding can usually be prevented.

Good to know: The SX Plus Green version is made with a minimum of 50% renewable resources, making it particularly environmentally friendly.
