Hammer Fixings

Hammer fixings are expansion anchors designed for the quick and secure installation of battens, conduit, or light fittings into masonry or concrete surfaces. Their simple mechanism provides a strong, reliable hold using only basic hand tools – no power drivers needed.

What Are Hammer Fixers?

Hammer fixers (also known as hammer-in fixings) are two-part fasteners that create a firm, mechanical grip within brick, block, or concrete. To use the fixers, drill a hole, insert the nylon plug, and then drive the steel pin into place. As the pin goes in, the plug expands and locks tightly into the hole. This forces the fixture to stay flush against the surface.

What Is Nylon Hammer Fixings Used For?

Nylon hammer fixings are versatile and work well for:

• Fixing timber battens, trims, and insulation boards.
• Securing conduit, cable clips, or brackets.
• Mounting lightweight frames or ducting.
• Supporting fittings where speed is crucial or space is limited.
• Applications that require a compact expansion anchor in solid substrates.
• Jobs where the loads are moderate.

They are ideal for quick jobs or repeat work that requires a strong, reusable anchor that sits neatly once installed.

Benefits Of Nylon Hammer Fixers

Several reasons make hammer fixers an attractive fastening option:

• Fast to install – Just drill, push, and tap.
• High pull-out resistance ensures a lasting hold.
• The nylon sleeve prevents corrosion of the steel pin, helping to prolong the lifespan of the fixing.
• The plug-and-pin design makes removal and refitting simple.
• Compact, tidy finish that sits flush with the surface.
• Saves time on large-scale or repetitive fixings.
