Fast Hammer-In Fixing With Removable Pozi Screws

When a job involves dozens of light-duty fixings, the installation method can matter almost as much as the anchor itself. ICCONS® | TPP Hammer Screws combine a nylon anchor with a removable Pozi-drive screw, allowing installers to position the fixture, hammer the fixing into place & later remove the screw when access, adjustment or replacement is required.

The Friulsider TPP range is suited to compatible concrete, stone, solid brick, hollow brick, solid block, hollow block & lightweight concrete. With 5 mm, 6 mm & 8 mm diameters, multiple lengths & selected 304 stainless steel screw configurations, TPP provides a practical option for repetitive light-duty fixing where quick application is valuable. Compare  Anchors & Wall Plugs,  Hammer Drills & Hand Tools when preparing the drilling & installation kit.

Across the current TPP family, documented characteristics include:

► Hammer-in installation
► Removable Pozi-drive screw
► Nylon anchor body
► 5 mm, 6 mm & 8 mm drill diameters
► Multiple fixing lengths
► Carbon steel zinc-plated removable screws
► Selected 304 stainless steel removable screws
► Light-duty fixing applications
► Options for compatible solid & hollow masonry
► NCC-listed configurations

What Makes a TPP Hammer Screw Different?

The useful distinction is in the installation sequence: drill, position, insert & hammer.

A conventional nylon plug normally requires the plug to be inserted before a separate screw is driven into it.

The Friulsider TPP arrives as a hammer-screw fixing system. Its nylon anchor & screw are used together, allowing the fixing to be driven rapidly after the correctly sized hole has been prepared.

The Pozi recess then provides another useful feature: the screw can be removed when necessary.

That combination makes TPP particularly relevant to repetitive light-duty installation where crews value straightforward placement without permanently sacrificing access to the screw.

Where Can TPP Hammer Screws Be Used?

A commercial fit-out crew can move from blockwork to brick while a maintenance team may spend the same shift working across concrete & lightweight masonry.

ICCONS documents TPP Hammer Screws for compatible:

► Concrete
► Stone
► Solid brick
► Hollow brick
► Solid block
► Hollow block
► Lightweight concrete

These base materials do not behave identically during drilling.

The fixing may cover a broad range of compatible substrates, but hole preparation should still respond to the material encountered at each location.

Three Diameters Cover Different Fixture Requirements

TPP selection becomes easier once the required fixing diameter, fixture thickness & embedment are considered together.

The current range uses 5 mm, 6 mm & 8 mm drill diameters.

The table shows why overall length should not be considered in isolation.

Fixture thickness changes while the documented embedment remains specific to the selected configuration.

Short Fixture or Thick Fixture? Length Changes the Reach

Two 8 mm TPP fixings can use the same drill diameter while accommodating very different fixture thicknesses.

For example:

► 8 x 40 mm – 5 mm maximum fixture thickness
► 8 x 60 mm – 20 mm maximum fixture thickness
► 8 x 80 mm – 40 mm maximum fixture thickness
► 8 x 100 mm – 60 mm maximum fixture thickness
► 8 x 120 mm – 80 mm maximum fixture thickness

This gives installers a straightforward way to narrow the range.

Measure what the fixing must pass through before selecting length.

Do not simply add extra anchor length as a substitute for checking the documented fixture thickness & embedment.

Why Choose a Hammer-In Fixing?

Repetitive light-duty work benefits when each fixing requires fewer installation steps.

Once the hole has been prepared correctly, the TPP system allows the installer to position the fixing & hammer it home.

That can be useful for appropriate repetitive building-services, fit-out, maintenance & general construction work where a removable light-duty masonry fixing suits the connection.

For crews reviewing broader fixing choices, the Fastener Guide Bolts Screws Anchors provides useful context across common fastener & anchor families.

Removable Doesn't Mean Disposable

Hammer installation provides speed, while the Pozi recess gives the installer a way back into the connection.

If a fixture needs to be removed, serviced or repositioned, the screw can be backed out using the appropriate Pozi driver.

That makes TPP different from a fixing designed solely around permanent hammer-driven installation.

Practical situations where removability can be valuable include:

► Maintenance access
► Replacement of a mounted component
► Temporary removal of a fixture
► Adjustment during fit-out
► Refurbishment work

Removal capability should still be used according to the condition of the anchor, substrate & installation.

Zinc-Plated or 304 Stainless Screw?

Exposure conditions deserve attention before a large batch of fixings is installed.

The current TPP family includes carbon steel zinc-plated removable screws plus selected configurations with 304 stainless steel removable screws.

Documented stainless options include:

► 6 x 40 mm
► 6 x 50 mm
► 8 x 80 mm

Availability differs across the range.

Do not assume every TPP dimension is offered in both materials.

Select the exact configuration according to the installation environment & project requirements.

A Fit-Out Crew Can Standardise the Installation Sequence

Repeated fixing points become easier to manage when the crew knows the drill diameter before moving down the wall.

For a run using one specified TPP size:

► Set out the fixing positions
► Confirm the base material
► Fit the matching drill bit
► Establish the required hole depth
► Drill square to the fixing surface
► Prepare the hole appropriately
► Position the fixture
► Insert the TPP fixing
► Hammer it home correctly
► Check seating before moving to the next point

Where repeated positions need to remain aligned,  Measuring & Layout Tools can support the set-out stage.

Concrete & Hollow Brick Need Different Drilling Judgement

The anchor may be compatible with both substrates, but the drill should not treat them as identical materials.

Dense concrete can provide consistent resistance throughout the hole.

Hollow brick may involve a face shell, cavity & internal web.

When drilling hollow masonry:

► Control pressure
► Avoid unnecessarily enlarging the entrance
► Recognise changes in resistance
► Protect internal webs where practical
► Stop if the fixing point breaks away

Good hole geometry supports better installation regardless of how quickly the anchor itself can be driven.

Practical Example: Repetitive Building-Services Fixing

Consider a contractor installing a series of light-duty components along a masonry service area.

A hammer-in anchor can make sense where:

► The specified fixing duty is light
► The substrate is compatible
► Fixture thickness falls within the selected TPP specification
► Repetitive installation speed matters
► Later screw removal may be useful

The installer can prepare a run of accurately positioned holes, place each fixture & complete the fixings without changing the fundamental installation sequence at every location.

That is where the TPP format earns its place in a trade fixing kit.

Practical Example: Refurbishment With Future Access

Existing buildings often require fixtures to come off again before the surrounding wall reaches the end of its service life.

A removable Pozi screw can be useful when a mounted item may later need:

► Servicing
► Replacement
► Access behind the fixture
► Adjustment
► Removal during refurbishment

This does not mean every removable connection should be repeatedly reused.

Inspect the fixing, nylon body & surrounding substrate before deciding how the location should be reassembled.

Don't Confuse TPP With a Standard Loose Nylon Plug

Both use nylon, but the buying decision & installation process are different.

Expert Tip: Mark the Required Drilling Depth Before a Long Run

Repeated holes become less consistent when depth is judged entirely by eye.

Before beginning a batch:

► Confirm the selected TPP embedment
► Account for the fixture arrangement
► Establish the required hole depth
► Use suitable depth control where practical
► Check the first completed installation
► Maintain the same preparation method across the run

A few seconds spent establishing the setup can prevent repeated shallow holes or unnecessary drilling.

Expert Tip: Use the Hammer for Seating, Not Correction

A hammer can install the fixing quickly, but it should not be used to force an unsuitable anchor into a poorly prepared hole.

Stop if:

► The fixing will not enter normally
► The hole appears undersized
► The anchor begins deforming unexpectedly
► The fixture is preventing straight insertion
► Masonry breaks around the entrance

Investigate the hole, bit diameter & substrate instead of increasing impact.

Expert Tip: Keep the Pozi Drive Accessible

The removable screw only helps later if the head remains usable.

During installation:

► Seat the fixing correctly
► Avoid unnecessary damage to the drive recess
► Use the correct Pozi driver for removal
► Clear paint, filler or debris before attempting removal
► Replace damaged fixings where their condition is uncertain

For perspective on why the fixing itself deserves as much attention as the installation tool, read Why Good Fasteners Matter More Than the Tool You Drive Them With.

When TPP Is Not the Right Anchor

Installation speed should never override the duty required from the connection.

TPP is documented as a light-duty nylon anchor.

A project requiring another anchoring class, structural performance or a fixing outside the documented TPP application should be assessed accordingly.

For heavier or different connection requirements, browse  Specialty Fasteners & Fixings.

Select the anchor around the connection rather than choosing a hammer-in product solely because it installs quickly.

Prepare the Crew Before Repetitive Fixing Starts

Productivity improves when drill bits, anchors, layout equipment & removal tools are ready before the first fixing point.

For a TPP installation run, prepare:

► Correct TPP diameter & length
► Matching masonry drill bit
► Suitable drilling equipment
► Hammer
► Pozi driver for adjustment or removal
► Layout equipment
► Required PPE
► Spare fixings

Drill Once, Hammer Home & Keep the Option to Remove

TPP Hammer Screws suit jobs where the fixing needs to go in efficiently without turning the screw into a permanent one-way decision.

Measure the fixture, identify the substrate & choose the 5 mm, 6 mm or 8 mm configuration that provides the documented embedment & fixture allowance required for the connection.

Then prepare the correct hole, keep the installation square & preserve the Pozi recess for future access.

For repetitive light-duty masonry fixing, put the appropriate ICCONS TPP Hammer Screw into the kit when quick hammer installation & later screw removal both matter to the job.

Frequently Asked Questions

The fixing is hammered into place for quick installation. The Pozi drive allows the removable screw to be backed out later when required.

No. The range includes carbon steel zinc-plated removable screws & selected 304 stainless steel configurations. Check the exact part before specifying the material.
