MUNGO Anchor & Fixing Range — Quick Reference
MUNGO is Swiss-engineered anchoring + fixing — precision products particularly for hollow brick, aerated concrete and lightweight blockwork where standard masonry plugs fail. AIMS stocks 85+ MUNGO line items. Selection turns on the substrate (solid concrete vs hollow brick vs aerated) and load type (light fitting vs structural anchor).
| Anchor Type | Substrate | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| MQL Universal Plugs | Concrete, brick, aerated, hollow brick | General fixings into mixed/unknown substrates — workshop default |
| MNA Hollow Brick Anchors | Hollow brick + lightweight blockwork specifically | Where standard plugs spin out — uses interlocking expansion design |
| MHD Hammer Screws (Hammer-In) | Concrete, solid brick, masonry | Fast installation — hammer in, drive home with impact driver |
| MQS Long Plugs | Thicker substrates — through fixings, structural sections | Long-grip applications where standard plug length is insufficient |
| MGS Frame Anchors | Window/door frame to masonry | Frame fixings — concrete + brick wall to frame |
| Chemical Anchors (Resin) | Concrete, solid brick | Heavy structural loads — through chemical bond rather than expansion |
| Installation Tools | Drill bits, setting tools | Match drill bit to anchor for clean hole + proper anchor seat |
MUNGO products carry European Technical Assessment (ETA) certification and meet AS 5216 (post-installed anchors in concrete). For Australian masonry substrate selection — hollow brick is common, requires hollow-specific anchors. Companion ranges: chemical anchors, masonry anchors, concrete fasteners.
MUNGO Anchors & Fixings — Swiss-Engineered Anchoring for Masonry, Hollow Brick & Concrete
MUNGO is a Swiss manufacturer of professional-grade anchoring and fixing systems used in construction, trades and industrial applications across Australia. Founded in Switzerland, MUNGO is recognised globally for precision-engineered anchoring products — particularly in hollow brick, aerated concrete and lightweight blockwork where standard masonry plugs fail to achieve rated performance. AIMS Industrial stocks MUNGO hollow brick plugs, hammer screws and installation tools across 85+ line items. Manufactured to European Technical Assessment (ETA) and AS 5216 (post-installed anchors in concrete) where applicable.

MUNGO ML hollow brick plugs
MUNGO ML hollow brick plugs (10 × 90 mm, polyamide PA6) are engineered specifically for hollow brick, aerated concrete and lightweight blockwork. The ML plug expands to fill the hollow chamber on installation — providing reliable pull-out resistance in materials where standard solid-substrate masonry plugs cannot achieve rated performance. The polyamide PA6 construction handles installation torque without splitting and resists corrosion in long-term service. Available in packs of 100 for production use.
MUNGO MNA-S hammer screws
MUNGO MNA-S hammer screws with countersunk collar (120 × 80 mm, zinc-plated) provide fast, single-action installation for securing fixtures into masonry — no separate plug step required. Drill the pilot hole, drive the hammer screw home with a hammer, and the integrated expanding sleeve and screw deliver immediate fixing. Ideal for high-volume installation of fascia, brackets, gutters, electrical conduit, signage and exterior cladding where time per fixing matters.
MUNGO MIT installation tools
The MUNGO MIT-BS-H0 universal steel hand brush (28 × 30 mm) is used for cleaning drilled holes before anchor installation — a critical step for achieving rated anchor performance in all substrate types. Dust and drill swarf left in the hole reduces anchor pull-out capacity dramatically; brushing removes loose material so the anchor can grip the substrate at its rated specification. The MUNGO brush head pairs with standard threaded extensions for deep-hole access.
Substrate selection & load rating
Anchor selection follows three core inputs: substrate type (solid concrete, hollow brick, aerated concrete, plasterboard), required load capacity (tension and shear) and service environment (indoor, outdoor, fire-rated). MUNGO's specialist focus is the hollow and lightweight substrate range — where standard solid-concrete anchors don't deliver rated performance. For solid concrete fixings, see concrete screws in the broader range.

People Also Ask — Mungo Fastening Systems
Q: What is Mungo?
Mungo is a Swiss manufacturer of construction fastening systems — wood frame screws, masonry screws, drywall fixings, and structural construction fasteners (since 1965). The Mungo MFP screw and Mungo MQL anchor are well-regarded in European construction. AIMS stocks Mungo for construction trade applications where Swiss-spec quality is preferred over generic alternatives — particularly in commercial fitouts and quality-spec building projects.
Q: Mungo MFP screws — what are they?
Mungo MFP (Multi-Function Plug) is a structural construction screw with high-tensile design and corrosion-resistant coating — used for timber-to-timber, timber-to-steel, and timber-to-concrete fastening. The MFP design eliminates pre-drilling in most applications and provides higher pull-out load than standard wood screws. Available in lengths 30-300mm and head styles (countersunk, panhead, pancake-head). Common in Australian commercial timber construction.
Q: Mungo vs Reisser vs SPAX construction screws?
All three are European premium construction screw brands. Mungo (Swiss): excellent corrosion resistance, broad range, premium build. Reisser (German): wide market presence, competitive performance. SPAX (German): the original 'serrated-thread' design that pioneered the category. For most Australian construction trade use, all three deliver excellent performance. Choice often depends on availability and the original specifier's preference. AIMS stocks selected Mungo items.
Q: What corrosion class do Mungo screws come in?
Standard Mungo construction screws come in: yellow zinc (workshop standard, indoor use), DuoCoat (mid-range corrosion resistance), Climacote (high corrosion resistance for outdoor exposure), stainless steel (marine and corrosive environments). Match the corrosion class to the exposure — DuoCoat is sufficient for most outdoor under-cover use; stainless or HDG for direct rain or coastal. Confirm corrosion-class rating against the structural drawing.
Q: Can Mungo MFP screws replace nails in structural framing?
In specified applications — Mungo MFP and similar structural screws meet Australian framing requirements per AS 1684 when used per the engineering spec. Screws are not direct substitutes for nails in all applications — withdrawal capacity is higher (screws better), shear capacity may be similar or lower depending on type (nails sometimes better). Always follow the structural engineer's connector specification — don't substitute screws for nails on critical connections without engineer approval.
