Manufacturer: Scrooz
These European manufactured fully tested heavy duty plasterboard fixings are simple to use, fast to install and are at least twice the strength of any currently available gyprock fixings in Australia. Recommended by leading European plasterboard manufacturers Gripr's can be used in filled or insulated cavities as well as other boards such as fibre cement sheet, timber and man-made boards and can even work on tiled walls.
How do they work ...
Gripr fixings operate using a clamping action behind the board, when you tighten them they twist and deform to create an evenly shaped knot which spreads the load and firmly clamps your fixture in place. Screw diameters are 5mm in either countersunk or panhead styles along with hook and eyebolt versions.
How do I fix them ...
Simply drill a 10mm hole with a clean HSS drill bit, take the screw out of the Gripr body and tap in so the fins under the head bite into the board, place the screw through your fixture and tighten. Be careful not to overtighten the Gripr, these are very strong high torque anchors and can easily crush the board, we recommend using a hand screwdriver rather than power drivers for the final stage of tightenin
What types are there ...
The colour coded Gripr series currently consists of Blue for single boards and Red for double boards, extension screws in 80mm and 90mm lengths are also available for thicker fixtures
Accessories ...
Spare drive bits, high torque hand screwdrivers and HSS drill bits are all available from stock to complete the range.
