Safe installation in any substrate



Gypsum board, concrete or ceramic block - in the wall made of these and many other materials, we can now fasten without fear. The new fischer DuoPower peg, regardless of the substrate, achieves very good strength parameters and allows you to securely attach the curtain rod, mirror, shelf or skirting board.

Operation of the DuoPower pin

DuoPower pins will work in most typical fasteners that await us at home and on the construction site. Thanks to the universality of their use, they enable installation in any wall - regardless of the type of building material.

Intelligent principle of operation

The pins have been designed in a way that allows flexible adaptation to a specific substrate. A combination of two components - a soft and hard material - serves this purpose. When we place the pin in the hole, it will undergo such a deformation that will allow it to best combine with the material. The gray part of the nylon sleeve activates one of the three functions, and the red expansion wings press against the walls of the opening and prevent rotation during assembly. For example, in ceramic hollow bricks or aerated concrete, DuoPower is looped, in concrete and other solid materials, and the plasterboard decomposes.These three separate functions allow to achieve a much higher load capacity than in the case of traditional universal dowels available on the market. According to the manufacturer, one peg of this type, 8x40 in size, can withstand the weight of several dozen kg in both concrete, ceramic hollow block and plasterboard. Choosing DuoPower, we do not have to worry about what the wall was made of and if the dowel can withstand the load - the fixing is safe, easy and quick.

What does the assembly look like?

The installation of new fischer dowels is easy, convenient and does not deviate from the traditional forms of dowels embedding in assembly holes. An additional feature of DUOPOWER is the blockage against premature expansion and the optimized shape of the shirt with a small flange at the inlet. The flange allows both pre-assembly and through-assembly. During deposition, the pin does not rotate in the hole due to the characteristic teeth. A specially designed hole inside the pin makes it easier to guide the screw, while a small flange on the outside prevents the fitting from falling into the hole. To place a pin in the hole, just insert it in and tap it with a hammer or a jig. Remember to check beforehand whether there is any dust in the hole after drilling - if necessary, clean the hole to ensure the quality of fixing.

The peg, apart from all traditional building materials, is also suitable for wood and particle boards. The increased anchorage length makes DuoPower also performs assembly in hollow bricks, aerated concrete or plastered walls. With the help of the new fischer peg we can securely mount, for example, railings and handrails, hanging decoration elements (like paintings and mirrors), lighting, cabinets and shelves, TV fixtures, blinds or curtain rods or sanitary elements.
