BUILDING MATERIALS

Gypsum fibreboard▪Gypsum plasterboard▪

ADVANTAGES

Due to its material properties, theGKM can be used in gypsumplasterboard and gypsum fibreboard,and can be used with the most wide-ranging screws, hooks and eyescrews. This allows for a broad rangeof applications.

▪

The sharp, self-tapping threadenables a secure, positive fit fixing.This achieves a high load-bearingcapacity.

▪

The cross-drive recess means that astandard screwdriver or bit can beused. No special setting tool isrequired.

▪

The short fixing length means thatonly a small amount of space isrequired behind the board. As aresult, the GKM can also be used inthe case of unknown boardthickness and cavity depth.

FUNCTIONING

The GKM is suitable for pre-positioned installation.

▪

The self-tapping metal fixing GKMtaps itself into the plasterboard witha positive fit.

▪

Flush installation in the boardbuilding material. Overtightening thefixing should be avoided. Therefore,the installation torque should belimited when using a batteryoperated screwdriver.

▪

Adapted for wood, self-tapping andchipboard screws of 4.0 to 5.0mmdiameter.

▪

Pre-drill with a Ø8mm drill bit whenusing gypsum fibreboard anddouble-planked gypsumplasterboard.
