Safety first!

The holding values (loads) and applications specified on the packaging are for guidance only. Depending on the degree of correct installation, the quality of the building material in which the fastening is to be made, the processing and the environmental conditions, they can be negatively influenced, which can result in personal injury and property damage. If in doubt, have the fastening carried out by a specialist.

Screw size and loads

The holding values (loads) were determined by fischer under optimum conditions, such as drill hole preparation and cleaning, correct installation and the best possible screw fixing in intact and load-bearing building materials and under normal environmental conditions.

For further product-specific information, please refer to the approvals and detailed load tables with footnotes for the respective products in our catalogue.

If plugs are supplied with screws, the holding values (loads) apply to the supplied combination of plugs and screws.

If plugs are supplied without screws, the loads apply in combination with DIN571 wood screws with the maximum specified diameter. Screws with smaller diameters mean lower loads.

Building materials and loads

The building material in which the fixture is fastened is decisive for the load that can be borne by the plugs. The building material symbols show which building material groups the plug can be used for. The respective loads are maximum recommended loads in the respective building material.
If several building materials are shown in combination, the load is specified for the weakest building material.

Fastening points and loads

Tensile load

The load specified on the packaging only applies to one fastening point (single plug) and represents the lower value of tensile and transverse load.

Example:
Tensile load 15 kg (150 N)
Transverse load 25 kg (250 N)
–––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Load specification on packaging 15 kg (150 N)

Tensile load

Transverse load

If the application involves groups of plugs (groups of 2, 4 etc.), the load-bearing capacity of the products must be considered differently. In case of doubt, we recommend consulting a specialist (see below for support services).

Transverse load

Fastening over cavities

Fastenings over cavities (voids) should be avoided, or particular care must be taken with them. If in doubt, we recommend consulting a specialist (see below for support services).

Types of loading

Non-approved fischer products are intended for static, non-moving loads.

Temperature note:
in dry substrates for temperatures up to + 24°C (or briefly up to +40°C)

Fastening dynamic loads

Moving loads are a particular challenge for fastening products. Before fastening a moving load with one of our products (e.g. swing/hammock/…) please contact our application engineering department.
