Hi,
I am mounting a wash basin and using the fixings below in the photo.
It is going in a new build part of my house and so I know the wall construction and hence could measure accurately from the external plaster finish to the block work behind. Seems to me that to ensure that the plug sits well into the block work and because of there being a gap between the back of the plasterboard and the block work, I could actually do with getting the tightening section of the fixing (flat bit two thirds along) to be just within the plaster board.
The question I have then is how do I finish off the tightening of the fixing once the tightening bit is at the wall? On the back of the pack of fixings there is an illustration of a tool (top right illustration in phot 2) being used which I’m guessing is like a screwdriver or ratchet with a threaded bit that sits on the end of the bolt to allow for the last few turns to be made – problem is when I’ve asked in DIY stores people appear baffled?
Any advice appreciated.
Thanks
