Red plugs are typically used with screws ranging from 3.5mm to 5.0mm in diameter and up to 40mm in length depending on load requirements.

Q: Can I use these in plasterboard?
These plugs are best suited for solid walls. For plasterboard, use drywall-specific fixings for better hold and reliability.

Q: Are these suitable for outdoor use?
They are intended for indoor use. If used outdoors, ensure they are not exposed to excessive moisture, or opt for weather-resistant alternatives.
