Plug for tiles + drywall

[Drotten]

Hi,
sorry to intervene, but if instead of a wall cabinet on legs you need to mount a shower mixer in the same wall construction (gypsum + tiles) where unfortunately there is no stud to attach to. What kind of anchor would you use then? Molly?

No, then I would use a regular universal plug that ties itself and expands on the back. And plenty of silicone in the hole and in the plug.

Thanks for the tip!

but hello....
The best of plugs is RAWL NUT.
A rubber expander that doesn't need special tools or anything, it's gentle on tiles/wallpaper and everything, plus it's more waterproof than 99% of all existing plugs...
I installed thousands of them in construction, especially in wet rooms, fantastic plug expanders...

Should be available in a well-stocked hardware store..

, it's also more waterproof than 99% of all existing plugs...

How do you mean? I mean if you don't silicone? Because with silicone all plugs are sealed if done correctly.

It's cool! See you in another thread! It's always fun with discussions and different ways of looking at things. Often, there are several solutions to a problem! Just hope that Massaman dares to fasten that cabinet now!

The cabinets are now in place with universal plugs. It turned out really well.

Thanks for the tips.

Reviving this old thread. Does anyone know a store in northern Stockholm that sells gummiexpander (rawl nuts)? I only find them at Ahlsells.
