TFIX-8M Facade fixing with metal nail

Versatile hammer-in facade fixing with steel nail recommended for ETICS.

Features and benefits

  • Simple installation in all standard substrates (A,B,C).
  • Excellent plate stiffness (value 1.0 kN/mm) ensures smooth elevation surface and stable insulation system.
  • The long plastic overmoulding on the TFIX-8M nail minimises thermal bridging (value 0.002W/K), contributing to energy-saving benefits.
  • Unique nail design allows for high load-bearing capacities. This reduces the quantity of fixings required per square metre of insulation.
  • The shortest embedment depth at the maximum strength parameters
  • Pre-assembled expansion nail saves time and labour.
  • Can be used with additional KWL insulation holding plate, available in 90, 110 and 140mm flange sizes (recommended for soft insulation materials such as mineral wool).

Installation guide
  1. Drill a hole of required diameter and depth
  2. Drilling depth of min 35-45mm in approved materials
  3. Lightly tap the plastic sleeve through the insulation material into hole with a hammer, until fixing depth is reached and plastic sleeve flush with insulation material
  4. Embedment depth of min 25mm in approved materials
  5. Hammer the nail into the plastic sleeve until fixing is secure and flush with insulation material.
  6. In soft insulation panels the fixing should be combined with insulation retaining plates KWL-90, KWL-110, KWL-140.
