Mungo Plugs and Masonry Screw Anchors
Mungo is a Swiss-made range of nylon plugs, frame fixings, and masonry screw anchors that has earned a strong following in Australian construction and fitout work. The fixings are engineered for known substrates — concrete, brick, hollow blockwork, plasterboard — with load ratings and installation specs that take the guesswork out of fastening into masonry. AIMS Industrial supplies the Mungo range for tradespeople, builders, and fitout teams.
The Mungo range at AIMS
- Standard nylon plugs — the everyday plug for general-purpose fastening into masonry and concrete
- Long frame fixings — for fixing window and door frames through to the structural substrate behind
- Hollow-substrate plugs — geometry specifically designed for plasterboard, hollow block, and cavity walls
- Masonry screw anchors — direct-drive screws that thread into pre-drilled holes without a separate plug
- Chemical anchor capsules — for high-load applications in concrete
Choosing the right fixing
Substrate dictates the fixing. Solid concrete and brick suit standard plugs and screw anchors. Hollow blockwork and plasterboard need plugs designed to expand into the cavity rather than rely on a single bearing point. Edge distance to the substrate boundary, hole tolerance, and applied load all factor into the spec — Mungo publishes load tables for every product, and they're worth checking for any structural application.
Why Mungo over generic alternatives
The plug geometry is engineered, not just moulded. Expansion ribs, sleeve length, and material grade are matched to specific substrates rather than the one-size-fits-all approach that cheap generic plugs take. For trade and fitout work where the fixing has to actually hold what it's specified to hold, that engineering matters.
Installation
Hole diameter and depth specifications are critical with Mungo fixings. The right drill bit size is printed on the pack — using a slightly larger bit reduces holding capacity by more than most installers expect. Drill depth should be slightly longer than the plug to allow dust clearance; clean the hole with a blow-out pump before inserting the plug for full holding strength.
