FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

WHAT IS THE PROBLEM THAT BULLFIX IS AIMING TO SOLVE?

HANGING HEAVY OBJECTS FROM DRYWALL IS NOTORIOUSLY DIFFICULT. BULLFIX SOLVES THIS WITH FIXINGS THAT ARE NOT ONLY INCREDIBLY STRONG BUT ALSO VERY EASY TO USE.

HOW ARE BULLFIX FIXINGS DIFFERENT FROM OTHER DRYWALL FIXINGS?

BULLFIX FIXINGS HAVE A UNIQUE DESIGN INCORPORATING WINGS THAT OPEN UP IN THE CAVITY BEHIND THE DRYWALL. THESE WINGS LOCK IN AGAINST THE DRYWALL DELIVERING A LARGE AREA AGAINST WHICH ANYTHING ATTACHED TO THE DRYWALLCAN BE SECURED.

HOW CAN I TELL IF MY BULLFIX FIXING HAS BEEN INSTALLED CORRECTLY?

THE DESIGN OF BULLFIX MEANS THAT (UNLIKE SOME OTHER FIXINGS ON THE MARKET) IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO INSTALL BULLFIX FIXINGS WITHOUT THE WINGS PROPERLY OPENING BEHIND THE DRYWALL. THIS MEANS YOU CAN HAVE PEACE OF MIND WHENEVER USING BULLFIX.

WHAT EQUIPMENT DO I NEED TO INSTALL A BULLFIX FIXING?

INSTALLING BULLFIX IS QUICK AND SIMPLE AND ALL YOU NEED IS A DRILL, HAMMER AND A SCREWDRIVER.

  • USE A 20MM FLAT DRILL BIT TO MAKE A HOLE IN THE DRYWALL (SUPPLIED WITH BULLFIX STARTER PACKS).
  • USE A HAMMER TO GENTLY TAP THE COLLAR INTO THE DRILLED HOLE.
  • USE A HAMMER TO GENTLY TAP THE FIXING INTO THE COLLAR YOU ARE NOW READY TO SCREW HEAVY ITEMS ONTO THE WALL USING YOUR SCREWDRIVER.
What thickness DRYWALL can Bullfix Fixings be used with?

BULLFIX FIXINGS ARE DESIGNED TO BE USED IN DRYWALL OF THICKNESS RANGING FROM 1/2” TO 5/8″.

CAN I USE BULLFIX FIXINGS IN DOT & DAB DRYWALL WALLS?

YES BULLFIX UNIVERSAL FIXINGS ARE DESIGNED TO BE USED WITH DOT AND DAB WALLS AND REQUIRE A CAVITY OF ONLY 9/32” BEHIND THE PLASTERBOARD. DOT AND DAB WALLS DO HAVE SOME AREAS WHERE THE CAVITY IS FILLED (IE. WHERE THE DABS ADHESIVE EXISTS). FOR THESE AREAS WITHOUT A CAVITY, WE RECOMMEND A TRADITIONAL APPROACH OF USING A LONG SCREW AND RAWLPLUG TO FIX INTO THE BRICK BLOCK BEHIND.

NOTE: THAT USE OF USING RAWLPLUGS AND SCREWS IN AREAS OF DOT & DAB WALLS WHERE NO ADHESIVE EXISTS BEHIND THE PLASTERBOARD IS NOT RECOMMEND BECAUSE IT CAN UNDERMINE THE STRENGTH OF THE PLASTERBOARD.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE BULLFIX UNIVERSAL & BULLFIX EXTRA FIXINGS?

BOTH BULLFIX FIXINGS WORK IN THE SAME WAY AND DELIVER AMAZING STRENGTH BUT THEY ARE DESIGNED FOR SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT APPLICATIONS AS FOLLOWS.

  • BULLFIX UNIVERAL FIXINGS HAVE SMALLER WINGS AND REQUIRE A CAVITY OF ONLY 9/32” BEHIND THE DRYWALL. THIS MEANS THEY CAN BE USED WITH DOT AND DAB WALLS AS WELL AS STUDWALLS.
  • BULLFIX EXTRA FIXINGS HAVE LONGER WINGS AND REQUIRE A CAVITY OF AT LEAST 25/32” SO ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR DOT AND DAB WALLS. THE LONGER WINGS DELIVER EXTRA STRENGTH SO ARE RECOMMENDED FOR ESPECIALLY HEAVY APPLICATIONS.

SEE DATASHEET FOR MORE INFORMATION.

WHAT WEIGHT LOADS CAN BULLFIX SUPPORT?

SEE DATASHEET FOR THE WEIGHT BEARING CAPABILITIES OF BULLFIX FIXINGS.

WHAT APPLICATIONS CAN BULLFIX BE USED FOR?

BULLFIX FIXINGS CAN BE USED TO ATTACH ANY OBJECT TO DRYWALL BUT THE FIXINGS COME INTO THEIR OWN WITH APPLICATIONS THAT REQUIRE A HEAVY WEIGHT BEARING REQUIREMENT. OBVIOUS APPLICATION ARE FOR THE INSTALLATION OF:

  • RADIATORS;
  • KITCHEN UNITS;
  • PLUMBING SUITES;
  • SHELVING;
  • TV BRACKETS;
  • HEAVY PICTURES & MIRRORS.
WHAT SCREW SIZE IS REQUIRED?

STANDARD LENGTH SCREWS ARE SUPPLIED WITH EVERY BULLFIX FIXING. ANY ALTERNATIVE LENGTH 1/4” OR NO 10 THREAD SCREW CAN WE USED BUT SHOULD NOT BE SO LONG AS TO TOUCH THE MATERIAL BEHIND THE DRYWALL.

ANY SCREW SHOULD GO THROUGH THE ENTIRE DEPTH OF THE BULLFIX FIXING TO PROVIDE MAXIMUM STRENGTH.

WHY DO WE SUPPLY SHORTER SCREWS WITH BULLFIX UNIVERSAL FIXINGS?

ON THE INSTRUCTIONS WE EXPLAIN IF YOU WANT A DIFFERENT LENGTH SCREW YOU CAN SWAP OUR SCREWS FOR ANY 5 MM OR NUMBER 10 THREAD SCREWS TO USE WITH OUR FIXINGS. THE REASON WE SUPPLY SHORT SCREWS WITH THE UNIVERSAL FIXINGS IS BECAUSE IF USED ON DOT AND DAB WALLS, LONGER SCREWS CAN POTENTIALLY “BOTTOM OUT” ON THE BLOCK WORK BEHIND THE DRYWALL AND PUSH THE FIXING (AND DRYWALL) AWAY FROM THE WALL.

HOW LONG WILL DELIVERY OF MY ORDER TAKE?

YOU SHOULD EXPECT DELIVERY WITHIN 2-3 DAYS FROM PLACING YOUR ORDER.

HOW ARE RETURNS HANDLED?

IF FOR ANY REASON YOU ARE DISAPPOINTED WITH BULLFIX FIXINGS OR BELIEVE THEY ARE FAULTY PLEASE EMAIL US AT SUPPORT@BULLFIX.CO.UK AND WE WILL ORGANISE A REPLACEMENT OR A RETURN.

DO I NEED TO BE AT HOME TO TAKE DELIVERY OF MY ORDER?

NO YOU DON’T NEED TO BE AT HOME AS OUR PACKAGING HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO FIT THROUGH STANDARD MAIL SLOT.

WHICH TYPE OF TV MOUNT CAN THIS FIXING BE USED FOR?

WE RECOMMEND USING BULLFIX FOR FIXED OR TILTED TV MOUNTS. BULLFIX SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR MOUNTS WITH A CANTILEVER OR EXTENDABLE ARMS AS WE CANNOT GUARANTEE THE RELIABILITY.

WHICH TYPE OF RADIATORS CAN BULLFIX BE USED FOR?

BULLFIX IS DESIGNED FOR USE WITH STANDARD RADIATORS WHICH USE AN APPROPRIATELY SIZED VERTICAL BRACKET TO SUPPORT THE LOAD. WE DO NOT RECOMMEND USING BULLFIX FOR MODERN DECORATIVE RADIATORS WHICH DO NOT USE A TRADITIONAL VERTICAL BRACKET.
