Wall plug Fischer Thermax 10/160, galvanized steel with nylon sleeve, 10 mm

Fischer Thermax 10/160 is a mechanical wall plug that combines a galvanized steel anchor with a nylon sleeve to provide secure fastening in masonry and concrete. Designed for use with a 10 mm drill hole, this anchor system transfers loads reliably while offering corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and outdoor applications. The product is intended for fastening fixtures and fittings where firm, long-lasting connections are required.

Advantages

The combination of a galvanized steel anchor and a nylon sleeve ensures strong load transfer and improved corrosion protection compared with plain steel anchors. The design allows controlled expansion of the sleeve around the anchor for stable holding power in solid and hollow masonry. The components are suitable for a range of temperatures and environmental conditions, offering consistent performance in both interior and exterior installations.

Suitable for

• Fixing railings, brackets, and support profiles to concrete or masonry
• Mounting heavy fixtures such as HVAC equipment or electrical enclosures
• Attaching façade elements and external fittings where corrosion resistance is needed
• Securing anchor points for shelving and structural attachments indoors

Key specifications

• Recommended drill diameter: 10 mm
• Embedment length: 160 mm (anchor length designed for deep anchoring)
• Materials: galvanized steel anchor with nylon expansion sleeve
• Suitable base materials: solid concrete, solid masonry, some hollow masonry with appropriate installation technique
• Application environment: suitable for interior and exterior use with enhanced corrosion resistance

How to use

Drill a clean, correctly dimensioned hole of 10 mm diameter to the required depth and remove dust from the hole. Insert the nylon sleeve and then the galvanized steel anchor so that the sleeve sits flush with the surface. Tighten the anchor to expand the sleeve and engage the anchor in the base material until the specified torque or recommended setting depth is reached. Follow any specific torque recommendations or installation charts supplied by the manufacturer for the fixture and base material to achieve the intended load capacities.

Recommendations

Verify base material and thickness before installation and use corresponding drill bits and torque settings. For hollow or perforated masonry, follow appropriate installation methods or use additional accessories as recommended. Avoid installing in frozen base materials or on surfaces with loose or crumbled substrate. Periodically inspect exterior installations for corrosion or movement and retighten if necessary.
