Specification
One piece self drilling anchor designed for fastening light / medium loads to plasterboard. For use in plasterboard, simply screw using a normal or power screwdriver. The point drills a pilot hole followed by a coarse, specifically designed helical thread biting into the plasterboard substrate making the fix. The separate screw is then used to mount the fixture.
When using standard Driva® in aerated concrete it is necessary to drill a 8mm diameter pilot hole.
Driva® Plus works in the same way as Driva® in plasterboard, but is designed for fixing heavier loads. The additional hinged toggle swivels and pulls towards the inner face of the cavity through the action of the mounting screw. This gives a combined screw and clamp fix.
Mini Driva® is used on its own, whereas other Driva® products require a screw to secure the fixture and in the case of Driva® Plus, rotate the toggle.
