Hi All
Been using hollow wall fixings in my hollow wall house for 26 years but am stumped at the mo...
I have a tile on PB wall, so about 18-20mm thick. I need to fix the 2 bits of the shower riser rail to the wall (the bits that hold the pole). Not much load, but I need a fixing 80mm ish long. Why? These flippin mounts require the screw to more or less go all the way through it, meaning at least 38mm of the fixing is wasted in the mounting.
So a toggle will need to be really long to clear the PB, but an 80mm toggle will need a 15mm hole, which is overkill. Intersets will be too short, and may not pull up on 20mm of wall anyway.
Would the wallplugs with 'wings' do the job?
Any ideas very welcome? Ta.
