Installation Guide

1. Drill a Hole: Use a drill bit that matches the plug’s outer diameter (10 mm). Ensure the hole depth is at least 80 mm to accommodate the full length of the anchor.
2. Clean the Aperture: Remove dust and debris with a brush or compressed air. A clean surface guarantees optimal expansion.
3. Insert the Plug: Gently tap the plug into the hole until it sits flush with the wall surface. Avoid over‑tapping to prevent damage.
4. Screw Fastener: Drive a screw or bolt through the fixture and into the anchor. The internal steel core will expand against the cavity walls, locking the assembly securely.

Applications

• Mounting wall shelves, cabinets, and bookcases.
• Securing TV brackets and audio equipment.
• Attaching heavy decorative panels or mirrors.
• Industrial mounting where high load resistance is required.

Benefits of the DUOPOWER System

• High Load Bearing: The combination of nylon and steel provides a robust anchor that can handle significant weight without failure.
• Versatility: Works across multiple substrates, reducing the need for different anchor types.
• Ease of Use: Straightforward installation process suitable for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts.
• Durability: Resistant to corrosion and chemical exposure, ensuring long‑term performance.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect anchors periodically for signs of wear or loosening, especially in high‑traffic areas.
• Avoid over-tightening screws to prevent stripping the anchor’s internal threads.
• Store unused plugs in a dry environment to maintain material integrity.
