To install plastic plugs, you'll generally need to drill a hole of the correct size, insert the plug, and then insert a screw or bolt. Here's a more detailed breakdown:
1. Determine the Correct Drill Bit Size:
- Different colored plastic plugs require different sized drill bits. The video reference provides these dimensions:
- Yellow Plug: 5mm drill bit
- Red Plug: 5.5mm drill bit
- Brown Plug: 7mm drill bit
- Blue Plug: 12mm drill bit
2. Drill the Hole:
- Use the appropriately sized drill bit to create a hole in the wall or material where you want to insert the screw. Ensure you drill deep enough to fully accommodate the length of the plastic plug.
3. Insert the Plastic Plug:
- Push the plastic plug firmly into the drilled hole. If it's a tight fit, you can gently tap it in with a hammer, being careful not to damage the plug.
4. Insert the Screw or Bolt:
- Place the item you are fixing against the wall, lining it up with the plastic plug.
- Insert the appropriate sized screw or bolt through the item and into the plastic plug. As you tighten the screw, the plastic plug will expand, gripping the inside of the hole and creating a secure fixing.
