In below-ground waterproofing applications, every drilled fixing point must be treated with care, as an unsealed fixing can compromise the continuity of the cavity drain membrane system and create a weak point in the overall waterproofing installation. The fitted rubber sealing washer addresses this directly by compressing firmly against the face of the membrane when the plug is fully driven home, creating a dependable watertight seal around each individual plug head.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(88, 88, 88);\"\u003eRubber Sealed 10mm x 60mm Plug With Secondary Fixing Capability\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach Platinum Waterseal Brick Plug measures 10mm by 60mm and is installed through a membrane stud into suitable brick, concrete, stone or other masonry substrates, with the soft sprung rubber washer compressing between the plug head and the membrane face to help prevent damp or water ingress at every fixing point. The plug also features a central hole that accepts 5mm size 10 threaded screws, allowing suitable ancillary items to be fixed back to the wall without the need to drill additional holes through the membrane itself. Battens, ply board, wall ties, tracking and affixed dry-lining systems can therefore be attached through the existing plug positions, helping preserve the continuity of the waterproof layer behind the completed internal finish throughout the life of the installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(88, 88, 88);\"\u003eWidely Compatible With Platinum Newton Platon And Wykamol Membrane Systems\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlatinum Waterseal Brick Plugs are designed primarily for use across the \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.platinumchemicals.co.uk\/collections\/platinum-basement-waterproofing\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlatinum Waterproof Cavity Membrane\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e range, including \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.platinumchemicals.co.uk\/products\/basement-waterproof-tanking-membrane-cv8\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ePlatinum CV8\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.platinumchemicals.co.uk\/products\/basement-waterproof-membrane-cv3\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ePlatinum CV3\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eand \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.platinumchemicals.co.uk\/products\/basement-waterproof-tanking-membrane-cv8-mesh\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlatinum CV8 Mesh\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e waterproofing membranes, and are also suitable for use with \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.platinumchemicals.co.uk\/collections\/damp-proof-membrane-platinum\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlatinum Damp Proof Membrane\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e products such as \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.platinumchemicals.co.uk\/products\/damp-proof-membrane-pm3\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ePlatinum PM3\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eand \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.platinumchemicals.co.uk\/products\/damp-proof-mesh-membrane-platinum-dm3\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ePlatinum DM3\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003ewhere a heavier duty, water-sealed fixing is preferred.

Select a membrane stud as the fixing location and use a \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.platinumchemicals.co.uk\/products\/evolution-sds-drill-bit-10mm\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e10mm SDS Drill Bit\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eto drill through the stud centre and into the wall substrate to a suitable depth. Push the plug into the hole with the rubber sealing washer positioned against the membrane face, ensuring the plug sits squarely before hammering begins. Drive the plug fully home using a club hammer until completely seated. As the plug is driven in, the rubber washer compresses against the membrane to form the watertight seal. After installation, confirm the plug is secure, fully seated and the washer has compressed evenly against the membrane face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ) How does the rubber sealing washer on Platinum Waterseal Brick Plugs work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA) The soft sprung rubber sealing washer on Platinum Waterseal Brick Plugs is fitted around the plug head and performs the critical task of creating a watertight seal around the fixing penetration. When the plug is driven fully home into the drilled hole, the washer is compressed between the plug head and the face of the cavity drain membrane. This compression forces the rubber to conform tightly against the membrane surface, closing off any path for water or moisture to pass through the fixing point. The pre-fitted design ensures the washer is correctly positioned on every plug before installation, removing the need for a separate sealing step during fixing and supporting a consistent sealed detail at each membrane fixing location.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ) What secondary fixings can be made through Platinum Waterseal Brick Plugs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA) Platinum Waterseal Brick Plugs accept 5mm size 10 threaded screws through the central hollow core of each installed plug, providing ready-made anchor points for secondary internal fixings without creating additional penetrations through the waterproof membrane. Battens, ply board, wall ties, tracking and compatible dry-lining components can all be fixed into the plug core, allowing internal wall finishes to be constructed in front of the cavity drain membrane while maintaining the waterproofing layer. This is particularly important in basement conversions and cellar waterproofing projects where the membrane must remain continuous and undamaged behind the finished internal surface. Using the plug core for secondary fixings rather than drilling new holes directly through the membrane helps protect the overall integrity of the waterproofing system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ) What substrates are Platinum Waterseal Brick Plugs suitable for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA) Platinum Waterseal Brick Plugs are suitable for securing cavity drain and damp proof membranes to a range of masonry substrates commonly encountered in basement waterproofing and cellar tanking applications. Suitable backgrounds include brick, blockwork, concrete retaining walls, stone and mixed masonry walls, provided the substrate is sound enough to accept a 10mm drilled fixing and hold the plug securely. Concrete walls are particularly well suited, as the dense material provides reliable anchorage. For brickwork and blockwork, the substrate condition should be assessed before installation, and for stone and mixed masonry the soundness of the background should be confirmed. Any loose, badly damaged or severely deteriorated masonry must be repaired before membrane and plug installation begins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ) Are there practical tips for getting the best results when installing Platinum Waterseal Brick Plugs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA) For the best results when installing Platinum Waterseal Brick Plugs, always fix through the centre of a membrane stud to ensure the rubber washer seats correctly against the membrane face. Keep the drill bit straight during hole formation to avoid tearing the membrane or enlarging the hole beyond 10mm. Position each plug squarely in the hole before hammering to ensure the washer compresses evenly on all sides. Drive each plug fully home and check it is completely seated and not proud of the membrane surface. For secondary fixings, always use the plug core with 5mm size 10 screws rather than drilling new holes through the membrane. Plan the fixing layout in advance to ensure consistent coverage across the full membrane area before progressing to internal finishing work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ) How do Platinum Waterseal Brick Plugs differ from Newton MultiPlugs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA) Platinum Waterseal Brick Plugs and Newton MultiPlugs perform a very similar function within their respective cavity drain membrane systems, but there are differences in size and design specification. Platinum Waterseal Brick Plugs measure 10mm x 60mm, while Newton MultiPlugs measure 10mm x 57mm, making the Platinum plug marginally longer. Both use a fitted soft rubber sealing washer that compresses against the membrane face when the plug is driven home. Both accept threaded screws through the central core for secondary fixings. The principal practical difference is that Platinum Waterseal Brick Plugs are specified as the standard fixing within the \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.platinumchemicals.co.uk\/collections\/platinum-basement-waterproofing\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlatinum Waterproof Membrane System\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, while Newton MultiPlugs are specified within the \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.platinumchemicals.co.uk\/collections\/newton-waterproofing-membranes\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNewton CDM System\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, though the Platinum plug also carries universal compatibility with \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.platinumchemicals.co.uk\/collections\/newton-waterproofing-membranes\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNewton\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.platinumchemicals.co.uk\/collections\/platon-membranes\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ePlaton\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eand \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.platinumchemicals.co.uk\/collections\/wykamol-membrane\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eWykamol\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003emembranes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ) Can Platinum Waterseal Brick Plugs be used with both meshed and non-meshed membranes?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA) Yes, Platinum Waterseal Brick Plugs are suitable for use with both meshed and non-meshed cavity drain and damp proof membranes.

With non-meshed membranes such as standard \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.platinumchemicals.co.uk\/products\/basement-waterproof-tanking-membrane-cv8\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlatinum CV8\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.platinumchemicals.co.uk\/products\/basement-waterproof-membrane-cv3\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlatinum CV3\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, fewer fixings are generally sufficient as the smooth membrane face does not receive direct wet finishes in the same way. In both cases, the sealed fixing detail provided by the rubber washer remains equally important in below-ground waterproofing applications, regardless of whether the membrane has a meshed or smooth face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ) What role do Platinum Waterseal Brick Plugs play in supporting internal finishing systems?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA) Platinum Waterseal Brick Plugs play a dual role in cavity drain membrane installations by both securing the membrane and providing anchor points for internal finishing systems. Because the hollow core accepts 5mm size 10 threaded screws, battens, ply board, wall ties, tracking and compatible dry-lining components can all be mounted to the wall using the installed plugs as fixing points. This avoids the need to drill additional holes through the waterproofing membrane, preserving the continuity of the water management layer. In basement conversions and cellar refurbishment projects, this combined function is particularly valuable, as it allows a complete internal finish to be constructed in front of the membrane while keeping the waterproofing detail intact throughout the finished building work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ) What are the limitations of Platinum Waterseal Brick Plugs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA) Platinum Waterseal Brick Plugs have several important limitations to be aware of. They are specifically designed for cavity drain and damp proof membrane fixing applications and are not suitable for general-purpose fixing work. The watertight seal depends entirely on the rubber washer being correctly compressed against the membrane face, so partially installed plugs or misaligned fixings can compromise waterproofing integrity. The plug requires a sound masonry substrate to achieve adequate anchorage, and loose, severely deteriorated or crumbling masonry must be repaired before installation. Secondary fixings into the plug core are limited to 5mm size 10 screws, so heavier loads must be assessed separately against the membrane system specification. The fixing must always be made through a membrane stud to ensure the washer seats correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Platinum Building Chemicals Ltd","offers":[{"title":"(W) 10mm x (L) 60mm \/ Pack 100","offer_id":7653461622814,"sku":"BWA20\/21","price":26.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"(W) 10mm x (L) 60mm \/ Pack 50","offer_id":7912117862430,"sku":"BWA20\/21-50","price":15.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"(W) 10mm x (L) 60mm \/ Pack 25","offer_id":7912128741406,"sku":"BWA20\/21-25","price":8.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2617\/5036\/files\/platinum-waterseal-brick-plugs-w-10mm-x-l-60mm-pack-100-waterproof-membrane-ancillaries-138.webp?v=1780487947","url":"https:\/\/www.platinumchemicals.co.uk\/products\/platinum-waterseal-brick-plugs-cavity-drain-membrane-fixing","provider":"Platinum Chemicals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
