Hi
There seem to be mixed opinions when I've tried searching around for which plug type/model is best for fastening in (what I assume is) some type of lightweight concrete. I'm going to attach a water meter console to a lightweight concrete wall and I'm looking for recommendations for plugs/screws to fasten with so it holds in the long run.

Nylon plug, aerated concrete plug or universal plug.

Construction screw is a suitable screw, e.g.,

If you turn the lightweight concrete screw half a turn too much, you lose all tensile strength.
If you don't, it's good.
If you use a plug and screw, it doesn't hurt to apply some form of construction adhesive into the hole beforehand.
If it's something important to screw.
