Full Product Description

Platinum Waterseal Brick Plugs are an essential component in the installation of Platinum Waterproofing Membranes, providing a secure and reliable method for attaching waterproof membranes to various substrates in both basement waterproofing and damp proofing applications. These plugs are designed to offer a high-strength fixing solution, ensuring that membranes remain securely in place over the long term, even in challenging conditions.

Constructed from glass-filled polyamide, Platinum Waterseal Brick Plugs deliver exceptional strength and durability. This material is known for its high resistance to corrosion, making the plugs ideal for use in environments where moisture and humidity are prevalent. The robust nature of the glass-filled polyamide ensures that the plugs can withstand the rigours of installation and the stresses of their service environment, providing a dependable fixing that maintains the integrity of the waterproofing system over time.

The plugs are specifically designed to work in conjunction with the included neoprene sealing washers. These washers are critical to the overall performance of the waterproofing system, as they create a watertight seal around the plug head. When the plug is driven into the substrate, the sealing washer compresses to form a tight seal, preventing any water ingress at the fixing point. This feature is particularly important in basement waterproofing applications, where maintaining a completely watertight environment is essential to protect against damp and moisture-related damage.

Installation of Platinum Waterseal Brick Plugs is straightforward and efficient. The process begins with drilling a 10mm diameter hole through the waterproof membrane and into the solid substrate using a 10mm SDS drill bit. The plug is then inserted through the membrane and driven into the hole. As the plug is secured, the neoprene sealing washer compresses under the fixing head to form a watertight seal. The central hole in the plug allows for the insertion of a woodscrew, which can be used to secure timber battens or other internal linings to the underlying structure. This feature is particularly useful in projects where internal finishes are required, as it facilitates the completion of internal construction elements without compromising the waterproofing system.

Platinum Waterseal Brick Plugs are compatible with a variety of other waterproofing membranes, including those from Platon, Wykamol, and Newton. This compatibility makes them a versatile choice for a wide range of waterproofing projects, from new construction to refurbishment and retrofitting of existing structures. Their design ensures that they can be used across different membrane systems without compromising on performance or reliability.

The plugs offer impressive pull-out performance, with ratings of 0.7kN for concrete, 0.64kN for solid brick, and 0.38kN for lightweight block. These pull-out strengths indicate the force required to remove the plug from the substrate, highlighting the secure fixing provided by the Platinum Waterseal Brick Plugs. This high pull-out performance ensures that the membrane remains securely attached to the substrate, even under significant pressure or stress.

With a plug size of 10mm in width and 60mm in length, Platinum Waterseal Brick Plugs are suitable for use with insulation thicknesses ranging from 0 to 20mm. The plugs require a minimum embed depth of 40mm for secure and effective fastening, ensuring that they provide a strong and stable attachment for waterproof membranes. The head diameter of 25mm provides a large surface area for the sealing washer to compress against, further enhancing the watertight seal at the fixing point.

Platinum Waterseal Brick Plugs offer a convenient and cost-effective solution for both small and large-scale waterproofing projects. The high-quality materials and precise manufacturing standards applied to these plugs guarantee reliable performance, making them an essential choice for professionals in the waterproofing and construction industries.
