RawlPlug DRA-02 Drywall Self Drilling Wall Plug Fixing.

From RawlPlug this is the DRA-02 metal self-drilling plug fixing for use on all types of plasterboard plus this fixing is excellent for fire resistant applications. As the Self-drilling wall plug has a short length it is ideal for dry lined walls and can be used in single and double thickness plasterboard. The metal fixing is flanged so will prevent the fixing from pushing right through the plasterboard and the bonus feature of this is that you do not need a drill. You can use a Pozidriv power and manual screwdriver but only use the screws that are provided with the fixing wall plug.

It is essential that you use the correct fixing such as self-drill zinc alloy or nylon plasterboard fixings.
