R-TFIX-8S / Screw-in facade fixing

R-TFIX-8S / Screw-In Facade Fixing

The Rawlplug R-TFIX-8S screw-in facade fixing delivers high performance across all base materials and is recommended for secure installation in External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS).

Features and benefits:

• Quick and easy installation in substrates from categories A, B, C, D, and E
• Unique sleeve compression zone supports precise installation
• Long plastic overmolding on the R-TFIX-8S screw minimizes thermal bridging, with a value of 0.001-0.002 W/K, supporting improved energy efficiency
• Plate stiffness of 0.6 kN/mm ensures a smooth facade surface and a stable insulation system
• Unique design provides high load-bearing capacity, reducing the number of fixings required per square meter of insulation
• Short embedment depth while maintaining maximum strength parameters
• Preassembled screw saves installation time and labor

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
• Insert the driver bit into the recess in the molded head of the R-TFIX-8S screw
• Insert the fixing into the drilled hole
• Press the plate firmly against the thermal insulation 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
• Apply steady axial pressure while keeping the setting-tool disc perpendicular to the fixing axis
• Drive the screw steadily at high speed until the fixing is secure and the disc touches the insulation surface
