• Fixture can be easily removed if required
• Apart from load and screw embedment considerations there are no restrictions to fixture thickness
• Available in a wide range of sizes for use in a multitude of light duty applications

Step 1:-
Select the correct size screw and Star Plug combination for the intended application.

Step 2:-
A clearance hole for the selected screw is recommended in the material, bracket etc being fastened and this will also assist with alignment during installation.

Step 3:-
Place the fixture against the substrate concrete, masonry etc and mark the position for drilling your hole.
Avoid drilling the hole too close to the edge of the masonry as the expansion action of the anchor during installation may cause splitting of the masonry.

Step 4:-
Select the correct size IDEAL Fasteners Carbide drill bit for your chosen diameter and length of Star Plug anchor.

Step 5:-
Using a Rotary Hammer tool or a suitable Impact tool, drill a hole into the concrete or masonry substrate to a depth that will allow the Star Plug to be fully inserted PLUS an additional depth of at least 1 to 1.5 times the diameter of the specific Star Plug anchor being used.

Step 6:-
Ensure the hole is clean of all dust and/or contaminants that may obstruct the insertion of the Star Plug anchor to the required depth. Using a blow pump or vacuum and/or a wire brush is ideal if the dust cannot be sufficiently removed with the drill bit when drilling the hole.

Step 7:-
Place the Star Plug in the hole and lightly tap it with a hammer until it is flush with the surface of the substrate.

Step 8:-
Position the fixture against the substrate with the clearance holes aligned with the drilled holes in the substrate.
Insert the screw through the fixture and into the Star Plug in the substrate.

Step 9:-
Drive the screw home by hand or power driver until firmly secured. DO NOT over tighten

• Ideal for light duty fixing applications such as signs, house numbers, mail boxes etc., to concrete, solid and hollow brick, solid and hollow block, stone and light weight concrete.
