R-TFIX-8M / Hammer-In Facade Fixing

The Rawlplug R-TFIX-8M hammer-in facade fixing features a steel nail and is recommended for securely fastening insulation materials in External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS).

Features and benefits:

• Quick and easy installation in all approved substrates across categories A, B, C, D, and E

• Unique sleeve compression zone supports precise installation

• Reduced point thermal transmittance of 0.001 W/K, thanks to the high steel nail overmold, helping reduce facade heat loss

• High load capacity with a shortened 25 mm anchoring zone

• Excellent plate stiffness of 1.0 kN/mm ensures a smooth facade surface and a stable insulation system

• Increased head diameter enables centered hammering for improved installation comfort

• Preassembled fixing components help save installation time

Applications:

• External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS)

• Polystyrene (EPS) boards

• Mineral wool (MW) boards

• Polyurethane (PU) boards

• Cork boards

• Lightweight wood-wool building boards

Installation guide:

• Drill a hole of the required diameter and depth

• Use a minimum drilling depth of 35 mm in materials from categories A, B, C, and D, and 75 mm in aerated concrete blocks

• Clean the drilled hole three times

• Ensure the underside of the plate is flush with the ETICS surface

• Maintain a minimum embedment depth of 25 mm in materials from categories A, B, C, and D, and 65 mm in aerated concrete blocks

• Hammer the nail into the plastic sleeve until the fixing is secure and flush with the insulation material

• For soft insulation panels, combine the fixing with suitable insulation retaining plates
