Whats your most reliable method of fixing to these bloody things. I normally use a No. 10 screw with a red plug and nine times out of ten its OK but not today I am all ears
 
Brown and a 10 screw or 12 if it's 4" long
 
Depends what your hanging, If its a boiler then use the bolts provided is usually fine. Brown plugs and screws works for everything aswell.
 
Brown plugs and 10 or 12 screws depens on what your hanging on it could use a chemical fixing . cheers kop
 
Probably the red plug doesn't have enough diameter to get a good enough purchase as a brown. But my preferred rarely fails and I hate the crap that boiler manufactures supply with there boilers to use as fixings
 
Just bought some Fischer Duofix plugs, can be used in multiple structures. Seem pretty good.
 
never use anything but Brown plugs have done for more years than I can remember never had a problem
 
Two brown plugs in a 7mm hole and a 3-1/2 10 or 12 screw
 
I have had to go straight through before using long bolts into the external brickwork.
