Frequently Asked Questions

What weight can Gripit fixings hold?

Gripit fixings vary in capacity depending on the type and plasterboard thickness. When used correctly in 12.5mm plasterboard, a single Red Gripit can hold approximately 71kg, whilst Blue Gripit fixings can support up to 183kg. Always use multiple fixings for heavy items and follow the manufacturer's guidance for your specific application.

Can I reuse Gripit fixings?

Yes, one of Gripit's key advantages is reusability. Unlike expanding fixings that damage the plasterboard, Gripit fixings can be unscrewed, removed, and refitted multiple times without compromising holding power or damaging the wall.

What size hole do I need for Gripit fixings?

Each Gripit fixing requires a specific hole size: Red requires 15mm, Yellow needs 20mm, and Blue requires 25mm. For best results, use a sharp drill bit and the Gripit Undercutting Tool to create a clean, slightly undercut hole that allows the wings to grip properly behind the plasterboard.
