Rawlplug Fibre Plugs No14 x 50mm - 7mm Wall Fixings (Box of 100)

Overview

Rawlplug No14x50 fibre plugs are the original, tried-and-tested wall fixing for solid brickwork and stone. Supplied in a box of 100, these traditional plugs require a 7mm drill hole and accept 6mm screws. They provide an incredibly secure, heat-resistant grip, making them a favorite for older masonry and heritage restoration projects.

How it works

Using the Rawlplug fibre plug is tried, tested, and incredibly simple. First, drill a 7mm hole into your solid brickwork to a depth slightly longer than the 50mm plug. Clear all the loose dust from the hole. Next, insert your screw into the plug and push or lightly tap into the masonry until the plug sits flush with the surface. Tighten the screw slightly to allow the plug to expand, then remove the screw from the plug. Finally, position your fixture and drive in your 6mm screw. As the screw enters, it aggressively forces the tough fibres outward, creating a massive frictional grip against the rough brick.

A Century of Reliability

Invented over a century ago, the Rawlplug fibre plug completely revolutionized the construction industry. Before this, tradesmen had to chisel out brickwork and hammer in wooden pegs.

Today, it remains the gold standard for traditional masonry fixing. When you need a reliable hold in difficult older walls, this is the plug professionals reach for.

Superior Grip in Older Brickwork

Modern plastic plugs rely on standard friction and often fail in older, irregular, or slightly crumbly masonry. Because these plugs are made from densely packed fibres, they adapt to the specific shape of the hole.

As you drive your screw in, the fibres expand and bite aggressively into the surrounding rough brick. This gives you a secure, anti-spin hold that plastic simply cannot match.

Heat and Vibration Resistance

Plastic melts and deforms under high heat, which can be disastrous for certain electrical or plumbing installations.

Fibre plugs offer exceptional heat resistance. This ensures your fixings remain structurally secure near boilers, hot water pipes, or heavy industrial machinery that generates warmth.

Trusted by Professionals

When you are working on a period property or heritage restoration, you need materials that respect the building.

Restoration experts and traditional tradespeople trust these plugs because they offer predictable, reliable holding power without causing undue stress or cracking to older, fragile bricks.
