Default Suitable fixing into thick plaster?

Hi all,

I want to fix a plasma screen bracket to a wall. Stone, I think, but
it's got a very thick (40mm) plaster layer on top.

I'm guessing that the plasic rawlplugs and screws supplied with the
bracket aren't really to be trusted.

Is a shield anchor such as the following suitable?

Seems excessive, I would use these:

duty for a plasma. Uses a Torx bit so no danger of a screwdriver camming
out.


I can vouch for the Fischer plugs mentioned - they are very good.

I'll beg to differ on the other bit: nothing wrong IMHO with using the
expanding bolt. Assuming one doesn't hit a void they are extremely strong
and the only downside is the slightly larger hole.



Cheers

Tim
