Fischer SX Plus 8 x 40 - 100 Pcs, 8 Mm Drill Diameter
Published on 09/18/2026 at 22:10 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Fischer SX Plus 8 x 40 brings a 4-way expansion design, a 8 mm drill diameter, and a 40 mm anchor length to the shelf. The 100-piece pack is listed on Fischer's product page for the SX Plus 8 x 40.
Core Measurements
Fischer lists the plug as art.-no. 568008, with GTIN 4048962480832 and contents of 100 x Spreizdübel SX Plus 8 x 40. The same page names a minimum drill hole depth of 50 mm and a screw diameter range of 4.5-6.0 mm.
The page also says the plug is made of nylon and designed for solid building materials such as concrete, sand-lime brick, and masonry. Fischer says the plug is suitable for pre-positioned and push-through installation.
Where It Fits
The applications listed by Fischer include lamps, wardrobes, motion detectors, skirting boards, light wall shelves, mirror cabinets, mailboxes, TV consoles, trellises, folding shutters, bathroom and WC equipment, and fire detectors. That puts the anchor in the everyday mounting range rather than heavy structural fastening.
Fischer's product page says the special fixing blades pre-fix the screw and that the plug edge helps prevent slipping deeper into the drill hole. The same page says the rotation lock prevents twisting during installation.

Price And Context
Retail pricing outside Fischer's own page is inconsistent across markets, and the model appears in different pack sizes in international listings. Fischer's own product page remains the cleanest match for the 100-piece SX Plus 8 x 40 version.
For buyers comparing wall plugs, the key numbers are the 8 mm drill diameter, 40 mm length, and 50 mm minimum drill hole depth. Those are the figures that separate this anchor from larger and smaller SX Plus sizes.
Bottom Line
Fischer SX Plus 8 x 40 is a nylon expansion plug for solid and perforated building materials, with a 100-piece pack and a 4.5-6.0 mm screw range. It suits light wall fixtures and common interior mounting jobs, while the 50 mm minimum drill hole depth keeps the installation requirement clear.
