INDEX Nylon® TN4S expansion plugs guarantee uniform fastening to the base material thanks to the expansion of their four segments. They are perfect for safe, multi-purpose fastenings to all types of materials, whether these are solid materials like concrete, solid brick, stone, adobe brick, or hollow materials like hollow concrete, hollow brick and plasterboard. Their careful design allows uniform distribution over the base material when it expands. Made from top quality Nylon, they guarantee installation with maximum guarantees.

The TN4S is specially recommended for the installation, for example, of lamps, pictures, multi socket adaptors, skirting boards and shelves or wardrobes. Available in different varieties with a collar, which prevents the plug from sinking in the drill, as well as the long version for fastenings with a longer drill bit.
