    The 10mm Hammer Fixing with Plastic Pin is a mechanical fixing for external wall insulation (EWI) systems. It combines a durable polyethylene body with a fibreglass-reinforced pin for high impact resistance during installation. The telescopic sleeve ensures the washer sits flush with the insulation, reducing thermal bridging and improving system performance. It’s designed to transfer wind loads and provide long-term stability.

    Key Features

    • Fibreglass-reinforced pin minimises breakage when hammered.

    • Telescopic sleeve ensures correct embedment and a flush washer finish.

    • Washer with adhesive pockets to improve bond with basecoat.

    • Designed to resist wind suction forces in ETICS/EWI systems.

    • ETA-15/0373 assessed.

    • Fast, reliable installation.

    Sizes & Box Quantities

    Size (Ø10mm) Box Quantity
    120 mm 200 per box
    140 mm 200 per box

    180 mm 200 per box

    Select length to suit insulation thickness + adhesive layer + required embedment depth.

    Application

    Preparation

    • Mark out the fixing grid to suit the system design and wind-load zone.

    • Check for hidden services (cables/pipework) before drilling.

    • Select the correct drilling mode for the substrate: use rotary-only for aerated/voided blocks; use hammer mode for dense concrete/brick as appropriate.

    Installation steps

    1. Apply adhesive to the boards per your EWI specification and place boards tightly with staggered joints.

    2. Drill perpendicular through the board into the substrate using the selected drilling mode.

    3. Insert the fixing body and then drive the pin until seated. Do not over-drive or dish the board surface.

    4. Install the specified number of fixings per board, paying particular attention to corners, reveals and high-suction zones.

    5. Once all boards are fixed, proceed with basecoat and reinforcement mesh according to the system specification.

    Fixing pattern & density

    • Follow the project design; as a guide, many façades use 4–6 fixings per m², with additional fixings around openings and building corners.

    • Keep consistent edge distances and avoid placing fixings too close to board edges or through board-to-board joints unless specified.

    Quality checks

    • Periodically verify pull-out resistance on-site where substrate variability is suspected.

    • Replace any fixings that spin freely or fail to grip, and re-drill if necessary.

     

    Frequently Asked Questions

    The 10mm Hammer Fixing with Plastic Pin (FIXPLUG-10) is designed to securely fasten EPS insulation boards to a wide range of substrates, including categories A, B, C, D, and E. These fixings are suitable for concrete, brick, and blockwork, providing a fast and reliable method for securing insulation as part of an external wall insulation system.

    The telescopic collar design ensures that the fixing sits flush with the insulation surface, guaranteeing proper installation. It also enhances adhesive grip by increasing the contact area with mortar, helping to create a stable and secure bond between the insulation and substrate.

    Typically, 6 fixings per square metre are used when installing EPS insulation boards. However, this may vary depending on the building’s location, exposure to wind, and manufacturer guidelines. Additional fixings are usually required around openings such as windows and doors.

    Yes. The FIXPLUG-10 Hammer Fixings are compatible with EPS insulation boards installed using EWI-220 EPS Basecoat Adhesive. Together, they form a secure, high-performance system suitable for both residential and commercial projects.

    They set quick enough, decent fix for EWI. Pin got a bit frazzled on soft blocks. Biggest niggle: telescopic sleeve was stiff, often needed a firm extra hit to sit completely flush.

    Solid ETA fixings. Went in dead quick. Fibreglass pin is brill, zero snappage risk on blockwork. Sleeve works decent and keeps it flush, easy prep before the basecoat. Good fixings but lost a star on cost. Found similar kit cheaper at Twistfix/EWI Bristol which matters when pricing up big jobs.

    Boss EWI fixings for the value—20p unit is good value. The fibre pin is tough and only snapped twice hitting dense stuff which is sound. The telescopic sleeve seats fine 90% of the time. Only dropped a star 'cos getting the embedment spot on with Category D block was a pain. It's hard to judge flush setting right ended up messing about with the depth more than I wanted to. Slowed me down massively trying to sort the dodgy ones. Otherwise brilliant gear proper solid fixing.

    Did the job fine at 120mm for the EPS. The fibreglass pin is proper decent, way more resilient than previous metal anchors I used. Fixing held firm in the concrete. Sleeve was a nightmare to depress flush though; proper stiff for quick site work. Price felt slightly high.

    right. Boards are secure job done. But they're fiddly pins! That sleeve mechanism sticks too much, had to go back to several trying to get a proper flush finish. Also feels a bit brittle compared to the last batch I had. Works, but slightly overpriced for the faff.
