Universal plug
for all types of substrates

Every year, the market is flooded with new products. Many of them, however, have their own specifics, which limits their use to a particular type of substrates, such as bricks or hollow blocks. Meanwhile, everyone who has ever performed minor construction works for their own needs knows that a good universal plug is then worth its weight in gold, which will prove equally effective in the case of cement board, plywood or plasterboard.

There is a common misconception that if something is good for everything, it is good for nothing. Nothing could be further from the truth – as long as you read the specifications and product descriptions carefully. And as long as you opt for a product from a trusted producer that cares about quality and incorporates modern technology. The SFX universal plug is a novelty in the Klimas Wkręt-met offer, so it is worth taking a closer look at it. If we were to describe it in the shortest possible terms, we would say that it is an innovative fastener with a hardened screw, which is suitable for all types of substrates.

What could be innovative about a universal plug? In this one, offered by Klimas Wkręt-met, quite a lot. First of all, the mentioned SFX, i.e. the plug sleeve, made of the highest quality nylon, the expanding-torsion zone of which has been designed in such a way as to ensure fastening in all types of substrates. The SFX sleeve is equipped with special ribs – everything to firstly ensure that the plug is wedged in walls from 10 mm thick and secondly to prevent it from rotating in the substrate. In general, SFX is a well-thought-out design, the internal structure of the sleeve has been engineered so that the screw fits exactly into the tightening-through hole, thanks to which there is no question of non-axial screwing of the screw into the sleeve and finally wasting the universal plug.

But it doesn’t stop there, because it is worth knowing that the unique shape of the SFX sleeve is designed to promote simpler and more efficient working. It is designed in such a way that, when working with a plug in substrates with voids, the sleeve itself ties into a “knot”, so to speak. This is particularly useful when installing anything in such voids – the ‘knot’ increases the clamping surface and the fastening proves to be much more durable. In line with the thinking of the technologists working on the innovative SFX, the diameter of the sleeve flange has also been increased, so that the plug does not sink too deeply into the substrate, guaranteeing the sleeve a secure hold. The initial diameter of the SFX sleeve has been reduced, which makes installation considerably easier.

Where is the universal plug suitable? Wherever we are dealing with solid substrates, with hollow blocks, plasterboards or cement boards, as well as in the case of plywood, so in the vast majority of cases smaller and larger renovation and construction works. The question remains: is a universal plug really suitable for everywhere and everything? No, because as in every field, common sense is needed here too. The SFX universal plug is a product that is perfectly suited to fixing lightweight interior finishing or installation components. The producer, however, loyally warns that also in this case it is about lightweight components. Therefore, the universal plugs can be used to mount curtain rails, shelves, cabinets, lamps or TV handles without any problems.

What makes the SFX universal plug so convincing is above all the technology and its outstandingly well thought-out design – the result of many years of experience and testing. In addition, installation is child’s play with the SFX plugs. The ergonomic shape of the sleeve makes work easy even for untrained DIY-ers and guarantees maximum effectiveness.
