Composite threaded rod TherMax 8

The fischer stand-off installation system TherMax 8 is a solution for thermally separated fixation in external thermal insulation composite systems (ETICS). The threaded rod has a glass-fibre-reinforced cone and cuts its own way through the plaster and into the insulation material without a setting tool. The cone on the head of the threaded rod interrupts the thermal bridge. The adjustable system is suitable for fixations in ETICS and non-load-bearing layers of 45 mm to 180 mm in thickness. The fischer TherMax 8 can hold medium-sized loads such as lights, letterboxes, and lightning rods in concrete, aerated concrete, and masonry made from perforated or solid brick. Advantages The stand-off installation allows for the fixture to be adjusted to the exact position required, which avoids pressure marks and damage to the ETICS. The plastic cone creates a thermal barrier between the fixture and the inner fixture, and offers an energy-optimised fixing. The glass-fibre-reinforced plastic cone cuts its own way through the ETICS with a positive fit, and allows for a simple and fast installation without the need for any special tools. Combining with the universal plug UX provides secure anchoring in the substrate. Without the UX plug, direct installation in a wooden substrate is possible after pre-drilling, too. Applications For the thermally separated fixing of: Signs Lighting Letter boxes Motion detectors Downpipes Lightning rods Blind guide rails Functionality The TherMax 8 is suitable for pre-positioned installation. The self-tapping, glass-fibre-reinforced cone cuts its own way through the plaster into the insulation during installation.
