When installing Expansion Hook on different materials, you need to pay attention to the following specific matters:
Choose the right type of expansion bolt
- Choose the right Expansion Anchor Hook according to the material of the installation surface.
- Metal Universal Expansion Hook is suitable for high-load fixation, while plastic expansion bolts are suitable for light-load fixation.
- For hard materials such as concrete and brick walls, you should choose an Expanding Hook with higher strength.
- For materials such as gypsum boards and lightweight walls, you should choose a suitable Expansion Hanging Hook and pay attention to the fact that their fixing ability may be weak.
Drilling depth and diameter
- The drilling depth should be about 5 mm deeper than the length of the expansion tube to ensure that there is no debris left in the hole.
- The drilling diameter should match the diameter of the Self-Expanding Hook, which is usually slightly larger than the diameter of the expansion bolt.

Ground hardness
- The harder the ground where the Expanding Screw Hook is installed, the better, but the actual stress conditions should also be considered. For example, in concrete, the stress strength is five times that in bricks.
- If the ground is soft, such as a gypsum board or lightweight wall, special attention should be paid to the specifications and length of the expansion bolts.
Installation tools and steps
- Use appropriate drill bits and tools, such as electric drills, pistol drills, hammers, etc.
- The installation steps include: drilling, cleaning holes, inserting expansion bolts, and tightening nuts.
- When tightening nuts, do not use excessive force to avoid damaging the Self-Expanding Hook or affecting the fixing effect.
Fixing effect inspection
- After installation, check whether the bolts are firm and whether the components are correctly positioned.
- If long-term use is required, rust inhibitors can be applied to the nuts for waterproofing and anti-corrosion treatment.
Safe operation
- When drilling, wear protective glasses and dust masks to avoid inhaling dust or contact with eyes.
- When using power tools, make sure the work area is clean and free of debris.

Precautions for special materials
- For glass and tile surfaces, it is recommended to use a pistol drill or a light electric hammer for drilling.
- For gypsum board wallpaper surface, the wall material should be distinguished and holes can be drilled in any direction.
- For solid brick walls, it is necessary to distinguish whether it is brick or concrete and select the appropriate Expansion Bolt Hook.
Selection of expansion bolt specifications
- Select the appropriate expansion bolt specifications according to the force-bearing capacity of the fixed object.
For example, the maximum static force of M6, 8, and 10 expansion bolts in concrete is 120, 170, and 320 kg respectively.
Irreversibility
- Expansion Bolts cannot be easily disassembled after installation, and the fixing material may be damaged during the disassembly process.
The above precautions can ensure safety and stability when installing expansion bolts on different materials, and improve the quality and service life of the project.
