Product overview

The IPL insulation plug is the perfect solution for mounting in external thermal insulation composite systems, rigid foam panels, polystyrene boards, and many other substrates. Made of aging- and weather-resistant nylon, the IPL plug is temperature-resistant from -40 to +80 °C and, thanks to its sharp cutting tip, reliably drills through hard ETICS plaster (up to 7 mm) without pre-drilling.

The IPL insulation plug is available in various lengths to meet different requirements:

IPL 60: The shorter plug with a 25 mm head diameter is ideal for lightweight installations such as small lamps, motion detectors, and edge trim. It is secured to the plug with a chipboard screw (Ø 4.5–5.0 mm). Installation is made easier by the practical Duo-Bit, allowing quick switching between the plug and screw. The Duo-Bit is available in three variants (TX20/TX40, TX25/TX40, PZ2/TX40), saving both time and money.
IPL 90: The new IPL 90 model, with a length of 90 mm, provides even better anchoring in thick insulation materials like mineral wool boards and EPS. It is ideal for securing ceiling boards made of Heraklith (10–12 mm) or metal profiles with 18 mm through-holes. Its innovative thread geometry and slim core enable easy installation, even through pre-punched holes in metal profiles. With a 25 mm head diameter and TX40 drive, the IPL 90 is the optimal solution for demanding applications.
IPL 95: The larger plug, with a 32 mm head diameter, is perfect for larger lamps, mailboxes, or even downpipes when combined with a hanger bolt. An M8 x 30 metric screw is also included as a setting tool to ensure quick and easy installation.

All types of plugs can be used with the practical Duo-Bit for efficient and quick installation, saving not only time but also ensuring a cost-effective setup.
