Screw & wall plug kit Fischer 48043 20 pcs 52 mm for gypsum plasterboard

The fischer cavity metal anchor HM-S (included in the Fischer screw & wall plug kit 48043) is a metal cavity fixing with a metric internal thread and a length of 52 mm, designed for gypsum fibre board and plasterboard. The anchor is intended for secure attachments in panel building materials and is suitable for fixing lights, towel rails and curtain rails. The drill hole diameter for this anchor is 12 mm and the kit contains 20 pieces.

Advantages

The HM-S range covers board thicknesses from 3 to 50 mm, making it suitable for many panel applications. Its metric internal thread allows the fixture to be removed and refitted multiple times for flexibility during installation or maintenance. When set, the HM-S expanding arms open on the reverse side of the board to provide a large supporting surface and increased load-bearing capacity. Edge claws penetrate the board material to prevent rotation and ensure a secure, stable installation.

Suitable for

• Securing lights to gypsum fibre board or plasterboard
• Fixing towel rails on board building materials
• Mounting curtain rails in hollow panels

How to use

Drill a 12 mm hole in the panel building material at the required position. Insert the HM-S anchor into the hole until it is pre-positioned flush with the board. Set the anchor by pulling it tight from the front so the expanding arms open and press against the reverse side of the board; this can be done using the fischer installation pliers HM-Z 1 or alternatively with a screwdriver or a cordless screwdriver. After the anchor is set, screw in the required metric screw and attach the fixture. The internal thread permits removal and refitting of the screw as needed.

Recommendations

Choose an anchor length and screw compatible with the board thickness and the weight of the fixture. Ensure the 12 mm drill bit is suitable for the anchor diameter and verify the board thickness falls within the 3–50 mm range for reliable performance.
