The set contains 10 plus and one mounting tool.
The patented steel Philipp-plug is an ideal way to create a thread in thin walled items. It is available in metric sizes (M4, M5, M6, M8) and can be used with thin walled objects when a strong bolt on connection is needed.
The plug can be used with extruded profiles, square and round tubes or sheet metal. Depending on material and size connections may hold up to 1000 kg. (size M8, mounted to steel square tubing, wall thickness 2,2 mm). Because applications differ a lot strength of connection must be evaluated by the user and can not be guarantied.
Compared to the use of threaded rivets or thread cutting the use of the Philipp-plug is much easier and does not require bulky special tools.
This makes the Philipp-plug ideal for repair situations and whenever a flush mounting surface is called for.
The two piece plug can be used both with the mounting tool or can be fitted with the bolt directly to the item to be mounted. By tightening the bolt the plug splits on the backside of the mounting surface creating a permanent thread.
