A Compact Fixing Range for Multiple Wall Materials

Three plug sizes can cover a surprisingly broad range of everyday fixing work. ICCONS® Universal Plugs feature the Friulsider FM-XP Universal Nylon Plug, available in 6 mm, 8 mm & 10 mm configurations for suitable attachments across concrete, stone, solid & hollow brick, solid & hollow block, lightweight concrete & plasterboard.

Moving between different wall materials doesn't have to mean carrying a separate plug family for every surface. The FM-XP uses a high-quality polyamide body with grooves that promote radial expansion as the screw is inserted, while anti-rotation barbs help keep the plug stable inside the prepared hole.

Planning the complete fixing? Pair the range with suitable Screws & Anchors, prepare holes with Drill Accessories or compare broader options through Anchors & Wall Plugs.

What Are ICCONS® Universal Plugs?

The FM-XP is a universal nylon plug built around a simple three-size format. Rather than offering numerous closely related dimensions, the current ICCONS® range consists of 6 x 32 mm, 8 x 52 mm & 10 x 65 mm configurations.

Each plug incorporates:

► High-quality polyamide construction
► Grooves that promote radial expansion during screw insertion
► Anti-rotation barbs that help stabilise the plug
► Pre-installed or through-fixing capability
► Suitability for nominated solid, hollow & plasterboard materials
► Indoor or outdoor application capability

The current range includes:

► FMXP06033 – 6 x 32 mm Universal Plug
► FMXP08052 – 8 x 52 mm Universal Plug
► FMXP10065 – 10 x 65 mm Universal Plug

What separates these three options isn't simply diameter. Drill size, embedment depth & compatible screw shank width increase through the range, allowing the fixing to be selected around the actual connection.

Why Choose ICCONS® Universal Plugs?

Keep the Fixing Selection Manageable

A compact range makes sense when crews repeatedly encounter common masonry & lining materials. The three FM-XP configurations provide defined steps from 6 mm through to 10 mm without filling storage bins with unnecessary variations.

That can make workshop replenishment, vehicle stock & jobsite organisation more straightforward.

Reduce Unwanted Rotation

A spinning plug turns a simple fixing into an unnecessary interruption. FM-XP anti-rotation barbs are designed to help resist movement as the screw enters the plug.

Meanwhile, grooves in the polyamide body encourage radial expansion around the screw.

Adapt to Solid & Hollow Materials

Concrete offers continuous material around the hole; hollow brick doesn't. The FM-XP is designed for use across both solid & hollow substrates, including concrete, stone, brick, block, lightweight concrete & plasterboard.

The plug may remain the same family, but drilling technique should respond to the material.

Install Before or Through the Fixture

Some components are easier to position after the plug is installed, while others need to stay aligned during fixing. ICCONS® specifies the FM-XP for both pre-installed & through-fixing arrangements.

When fixing through a component, allow for its thickness before deciding which plug length is appropriate.

Cover Internal & External Work

A universal plug can move beyond interior fit-out work. FM-XP plugs are nominated for indoor or outdoor applications, including façade-related work.

For exposed installations, ensure the screw & other components of the completed fixing are also suitable for the environmental conditions.

Common Applications

Building Restoration

Remove an old fitting & the wall behind it may be very different from the one in the next room. Restoration projects can expose stone, brick, block, concrete & later plasterboard alterations within the same building.

ICCONS® nominates building restoration as an FM-XP application, making the plug particularly practical where base materials change throughout existing construction.

Framework Installation

The thickness of a frame matters before the drill ever touches the wall. Framework is another nominated FM-XP application, with the longer 8 x 52 mm & 10 x 65 mm configurations providing options where the fixing geometry requires greater plug length.

Measure the fixture rather than estimating how much plug remains within the base material.

Façade Work

Exterior attachments introduce a second question beyond holding power: what will the completed fixing be exposed to? FM-XP Universal Plugs can be used in applicable façade work, but screw material & the complete connection should suit the environment.

Plug dimensions, fixture depth & base material should also be established before installation.

Solid Brick & Block

Regular masonry work is where a well-organised universal plug kit earns its place. FM-XP plugs are suitable for nominated solid brick & solid block applications where the correct plug size, screw & hole dimensions are used.

For repetitive drilling into masonry, suitable Hammer Drills can form part of the installation setup.

Hollow Masonry

The cavity inside a block changes the drilling conditions even when the outside looks conventional. Both hollow brick & hollow block are included among the FM-XP base materials.

Control the drilling process to avoid unnecessarily damaging the internal webs surrounding the fixing point.

Stone

Restoration contractors don't always get the convenience of modern masonry. ICCONS® includes stone within the FM-XP substrate range, giving the plug a role in suitable attachments where natural masonry forms the supporting material.

Stone type & condition can vary, so hole preparation deserves particular attention.

Lightweight Concrete

Less dense material calls for a more considered approach than simply increasing drill impact. Lightweight concrete is another nominated FM-XP substrate.

Use drilling equipment & settings appropriate to the actual material rather than assuming all concrete-based products behave identically.

Product Selection Guide

6 mm, 8 mm or 10 mm? Start with the connection dimensions rather than choosing the largest plug by default.

6 mm

FMXP06033 – 6 x 32 mm

For compact fixing requirements, the 6 mm FM-XP is the starting point in the range. It requires a 6 mm drilled hole, provides 33 mm embedment & is specified with a 4.5 mm screw shank width.

This configuration suits applications where those dimensions correspond with the fixture & substrate.

FMXP08052 – 8 x 52 mm

The middle size makes a useful step when greater plug length is required. FMXP08052 uses an 8 mm drilled hole, provides 52 mm embedment & is paired with a 5 mm screw shank width.

Its dimensions make it distinctly different from simply enlarging the 6 mm plug.

FMXP10065 – 10 x 65 mm

At the upper end of the FM-XP range sits a 65 mm-long plug. FMXP10065 requires a 10 mm hole, provides 65 mm embedment & corresponds with a 6 mm screw shank width.

Use it where those dimensions suit the connection rather than treating it as the automatic choice for every larger fixture.

How Do the Three Sizes Compare?

Each step increases more than one dimension.

► 6 mm plug – 33 mm embedment / 4.5 mm screw shank
► 8 mm plug – 52 mm embedment / 5 mm screw shank
► 10 mm plug – 65 mm embedment / 6 mm screw shank

This progression gives installers three clearly separated configurations rather than multiple near-identical options.

When Should Another Fixing Type Be Considered?

A universal nylon plug isn't a substitute for every anchor on a construction site. Structural connections, higher-demand anchoring or installations requiring specific engineered performance may call for a dedicated mechanical or chemical anchoring system.

Compare Anchor Bolts when the application moves beyond the intended role of a general-purpose nylon plug.

Expert Tips

Check Fixture Thickness Before Drilling

A 52 mm plug doesn't necessarily place 52 mm behind a through-fixed component. Fixture dimensions affect the installation arrangement, so confirm how the connection will be assembled before choosing between the three FM-XP sizes.

This simple measurement can prevent reaching for an unsuitable plug after the hole has already been prepared.

Keep 6 mm, 8 mm & 10 mm Bits with the Plug Kit

The three-size format lends itself to an equally straightforward drilling setup. Store corresponding 6 mm, 8 mm & 10 mm masonry bits with the FM-XP range so the required hole size is immediately identifiable.

A Small Parts Organiser can also keep individual plug sizes separated from screws & other consumables.

Change Technique When the Substrate Changes

Crossing from solid brick into hollow block should trigger a change in approach. Avoid treating hammer action as a default setting for every wall material.

Preserving the material around the hole is particularly important when working with hollow or more fragile substrates.

Don't Substitute Screw Diameter by Eye

A screw that looks close enough isn't necessarily the specified pairing. Current ICCONS® information nominates 4.5 mm, 5 mm & 6 mm shank widths across the 6 mm, 8 mm & 10 mm FM-XP configurations respectively.

For more background on choosing screws, plugs & anchors together, read the Fastener Guide Bolts Screws Anchors.

Watch for Reinforcement Before Drilling Concrete

Unexpected steel at the planned hole location is a reason to reassess—not automatically force the drill through it. Concrete structures may contain reinforcement that affects where & how a fixing can be installed.

Where reinforced concrete forms part of the project, Measuring & Leveling Tools can support accurate set-out before repetitive fixing begins.

Separate Plug Suitability from Screw Exposure

A nylon plug suitable for outdoor use doesn't automatically make every screw suitable outdoors. Consider corrosion exposure when selecting the fastener that completes the connection.

The plug, screw, fixture & environment should be considered as one installation.

Keep Frequently Used Fixings Replenished

Discovering the 8 mm compartment is empty after drilling the first hole is avoidable downtime. Check consumable quantities before multi-room fit-outs, restoration work or repetitive framework installation.

The principle is simple: the smallest consumables can still stop the job when they're missing.
