Corefix AIR Heavy Duty Dot & Dab Wall Fixing for Flat Screen TVs, Radiators, Boilers, Wall Cabinets & Shelving | 4 Pack

Product Information

Further it lets me now contemplate stuff like floating shelves knowing my fixing will be spot on, and not have one sag or hold a shelf not dead flat etc. Because these fixings have been especially designed to provide a secure fixing into exactly these types of internal walls. Tested to 250kg (without failure) on four fixings with a safe working load of 73kg, it is ideal for heavy loads such as TVs and wall cabinets.

I used them to hang a 42kg vertical radiator on a drylined wall and the fittings were very good, with nice simple instructions. Available in three ranges Corefix original, for all block and brickwork, Corefix Air, for lightweight thermalite blocks and Plus30, with a 20mm longer screw for deeper brackets and fixtures (on the outside of the plasterboard).

Corefix 100 (red) is the standard go to fixing for installations where the fixture thickness is up to 10mm (e. This means that Corefix can safely support heavy loads – 100kg (independently tested) and over 200kg in-house tested.

Metex have removed the guesswork from choosing a fixing by offering a ‘fixing or hook for every application’. This is because Corefix – unlike other typical rawl plug based fixings – will bridge the gap between the plasterboard and the solid wall behind it, thus spreading the load and ensuring a strong safe fixing. Instead, take a Stanley life (box cutter) and gently shave around the outside of the hole so that the top of the plug will sit flush and level with the surface of the wall. The screws do appear quite long when first seen but as they have to go through the plaster board then the gap and then into the brick it is understandable why they are this length and give the support the do. The screw is 100mm long and 5mm across the maximum diameter of the threads with the head maximum diameter being 10mm.Suitable for wall mounted TVs, Cabinets, Boilers, Radiators, Shelving, Sinks, Toilets, Pictures and Curtain Poles. Push the plug in to check if fits, you can used a screw to pull it out if you need to do further drilling to achieve the right depth. Corefix 120 (yellow) has a longer 120mm screw for securing fixtures of up to 30mm deep (eg wooden battens).

Living in a new-ish house with dot and dab exterior walls, fitting anything heaver than a picture to the wall has always been a real bind. If you are dealing with a plasterboard dot and dab wall, wall then you will have no problems at all in fixing your flat screen TV to the wall using the Corefix product (and providing you follow the instructions of course. Corefix is quick to install, this patented product works by securing the load to the brick or block behind the board, bridging the problematic gap that dot and dab creates, by way of a zinc plated steel tube insert.

Can’t argue that some of the latest wall plug designs are really clever for such a humble product and can take a surprising amount of weight. The plugs have a flange around the entry hole to prevent the plug from disappearing into the drilled hole when you tap in the steel tube. One massive design flaw/failure on the part of Corefix to fully inform the user - DO NOT use any sort of power tool to install. I've used appropriate lengths of 15mm copper pipe or, for heavier loads such as large radiators, slices of a broom handle (with a hole drilled through the centre) to do this and it works perfectly fine. It is very effective and gives fantastic support, bridging the gap on a dot and dab wall and saving time because you don’t need extra support.
