Since you don't know what masonry anchors are I'm guessing you aren't a contractor. Try Diychatroom.com

 

Wow, the Brits are so much more advanced than we are on these things.

 

I know what "masonry anchors" are but the US versions all come with heads and nails. I'm looking for the UK version that's headless and doesn't have a nail that I'll have to pull out before inserting in the wall..

 

You can get them at any Home Depot, Lowes, Menards, Ace Hardware, Amazon or just about anywhere.

 

That is NOT what I'm looking for! As I stated i my OP i'm looking for "nail plugs". Here's another image:

R U Retarded?
Try searching for "mollies" or "drywall anchors" or "masonry anchors" or "wall anchors".
They come in dozens of shapes and sizes.

It is obvious how you went from an empire controlling half the globe to an insignificant tiny island in the Arctic Circle.

 

You accuse me of being retarded when you post a product/image that is not even close to what I'm looking for let alone usable with cable clips.
Re-read the OP and my subsequent replies. If, after that, you are still unable to understand what I'm looking for then stop replying and making yourself look sillier than you already are.

 

Man, you stroll into somewhere you don't belong and start talking down to people, you really must be a brit. This forum is for contractors, you can assume people will keep razzing you until you give up, in the meantime I'll enjoy the show .

 

So they are used with the regular cable clamps the are preloaded with nails? Great idea but never saw them before

I have seen the ones preloaded with masonry nails but they don’t work very well

Never seen a cable clip preloaded with a nailer?
Oh Vey this place is full of stupids.

 

I don’t think you guys know what he is talking about, these are very specific specialized plugs

 

Not they aren't. Read the description. It says;

Drill a 5.5mm hole and tap in the pin plug.
For fixing cable clips into soft aercrete blocks.

Its a standard masonry anchor. The package even comes with a masonry bit to install them.

 

Well, after looking at the OP, it seems Joe may be correct. Simple masonry anchors at fist glance. Though he may be a bit overzealous in his communication...

OP, is there something special about the ones you posted. Harder or softer materials? I don't see why a small screw anchor wouldn't work with a nail? Just never used them that way.

The anchors he wants are for nails 1.5-2.5mm in diameter, meaning the hole must be smaller than 1.5mm.
I don't know if masonry anchors that small are commonly available.

Thank you - maybe you could explain that to Joe - I've given up.

 

Gee. I actually have a box sitting right here.

 

First off no one’s installing CAT5 they are installing cat six, the coding for the cables is UV sensitive!

 

These runs are for security cameras which don't need CAT6 (or anywhere close to that capability). I charge a premium for CAT6 and customer was happy with CAT5e given the use case.

I've used those in the past and while they work it's a little extra effort to squirt a dab of caulk in the hole before inserting in order to maintain the water barrier. That's why I liked the UK solution as it seals the hole.

 

Have you tried Fastenal Fastenal Industrial Supplies, OEM Fasteners, Safety Products & More

 

I been using zip ties for the longest time for cable holders in any type of masonry.Zip Tie itself acts as an anchor. Just look at this Video

 

Slick!

 

Thats a good idea for an out of the weather area, the ones he is looking for seal the entire hole and have the flange
but I am going to try your way the next time

 

If you using it on the exterior after you insert the zip tie squeeze some clear silicone inside and screw after and you will never have an issue.

 

Buy them from MF England if youre so set on them....................global business. Adjust your "project" schedule and carry on.
Holy crap...........

 

I've never seen those, great idea though. There is something I know of that might work, but I'm not sure they make them in a small enough size for cable clip nails. Look for Expandet Screw Anchors.
Or, they make cable clips with attached screws rather than nails, in which case any screw anchor would work. I have used pieces of small diameter wooden dowels for thing like this before, but since this is exterior, probably no bueno.
