When your wall-mounting job demands strength, choose the GRIPIT 18mm Red Plasterboard Anchor (8 Pack) — a robust solution for securely fixing heavier items to standard 10–13mm plasterboard. GRIPIT’s patented Drill, Tap, Turn installation system makes securing shelves, wall-mounted TVs (fixed brackets only), radiators, or kitchen cabinets effortless and efficient.
The red anchor's larger profile and fold-out wings offer exceptional holding power of up to 40kg in tension, distributing the load across a wider plasterboard surface to prevent pull-through and wall damage.
This 8-pack is ideal for residential renovations, AV installs, and commercial fit-outs requiring reliable, permanent fixings.
