Product description
fischer DuoXpand 10 x 160 T – long frame fixing for timber, concrete and masonry
When a standard frame fixing is too short for a thick timber, beam or substructure, the 160 mm DuoXpand version provides additional usable length. fischer DuoXpand 10 x 160 T is a two-component frame fixing for push-through installation and is particularly suitable for fastening wooden components to concrete and masonry.
The T version is supplied with a pre-assembled countersunk-head screw with TX40 drive. The countersunk head can be seated neatly in the surface of the fixture, making this version particularly suitable for timber applications.
This offer is for 1 piece of fischer DuoXpand 10 x 160 T frame fixing with the matching pre-assembled screw.
What makes the 10 x 160 T version different?
The key feature of this 160 mm version is the choice of three anchorage depths. This allows the fixing configuration to be selected according to the thickness of the fixture and the substrate conditions.
- at 50 mm anchorage depth, the usable length is up to 110 mm,
- at 70 mm anchorage depth, the usable length is up to 90 mm,
- at 140 mm anchorage depth, the usable length is up to 20 mm.
This makes DuoXpand 10 x 160 T suitable both for thicker fixtures with a shallower anchorage depth and for applications requiring significantly deeper anchorage in the building material.
For beams, timber and substructures
fischer DuoXpand 10 x 160 T is particularly useful where the component being fastened is relatively thick. Typical applications include:
- timber and wooden beams,
- wooden façade substructures,
- roof and ceiling substructures,
- window and door frames,
- construction and fit-out components,
- cabinets and wall-mounted kitchen units,
- wall cladding,
- brackets and other components installed using push-through fixing.
How does DuoXpand work in different substrates?
The two-component design combines a grey body made of high-quality nylon with a more flexible red component in the expansion zone. The special lamella geometry adapts the expansion behaviour to the building material.
In solid materials, the load is distributed evenly into the substrate. In hollow masonry, the lamellae expand against the internal walls and form an interlocking connection in the cavity. The design provides controlled expansion and helps reduce damage to porous building materials.
Suitable building materials
fischer DuoXpand is designed for multiple fastening of non-structural systems in concrete and masonry. Suitable substrates specified by the manufacturer include:
- concrete from C12/15,
- solid brick,
- solid sand-lime brick,
- solid blocks made of lightweight and normal-weight concrete,
- vertically perforated brick,
- perforated sand-lime brick,
- hollow blocks made of lightweight concrete,
- aerated concrete.
According to the manufacturer's documentation, the fixing can also be used in natural stone with a dense structure and solid gypsum panels.
Countersunk head – why choose the T version?
The T version uses a screw with a countersunk head. This is particularly practical for wooden components because the screw head can be seated in the surface of the material. The screw uses a TX40 drive.
