How to Use Anchor Conical Plastics: A Quick Guide

Installation is straightforward-just match the anchor to your screw size and substrate. Here's a stepwise method commonly used by South African technicians and students:

1. Mark drilling points. Use a pilot drill with correct bit size (e.g., 6mm drill bit for 6mm anchor).
2. Drill to a depth 5-10mm deeper than the anchor length for easier seating.
3. Insert the conical anchor flush with the wall.
4. Align your fixture; insert screw through the item and tighten-anchor will expand and grip firmly.

Troubleshooting and Application Notes

• If anchors spin in the hole, check that drill holes are not oversized-use the correct bit size.
• For very soft plaster, consider slightly longer anchors. Do not overtighten, as this may strip the wall substrate.
• Store unused anchors in a dry place to prevent plastic ageing or brittleness from sunlight.
