A set consisting of a plastic dowel made of propylene or nylon, a DIN 9021 washer that significantly increases the load area, and a DIN 571 screw allows you to securely fasten fragile sanitary ware and other ceramic products to concrete and brick surfaces. A unique feature of this screw is its ability to withstand enormous loads, as well as high tensile strength and reliability.
Plastic caps, which come in a variety of shades to match the color of the plumbing fixtures, are used to fit the screw heads to ensure that the installed fixtures look great.
