The GripIt fastening system is easy to use and features a circular plastic body with a pair of metal wings for locking. The GripIt fixing is inserted into the hole drilled in the drywall surface and gently tapped with the aid of a hammer until it is flush with the surface. To ensure correct positioning of the support wings, they are turned clockwise with the rotating screws, until a firm resistance is felt and the wings are locked, thus guaranteeing that the system is fixed in that position and ensuring a high load capacity.
RS stock the full range of GripIt bindings, available in four different sizes ranging from 15mm to 25mm in diameter. Each model is color coded according to its diameter and load capacity. Self-adjusting fixings are suitable for plasterboard thicknesses from 9,5 mm to 15 mm.
