White plastic expansion plugs-also known as plastic screw anchors-are commonly referred to as "expansion tubes" in northern regions, whereas in the south, terms like "plastic pellets" or "expansion pellets" are more customary.

 

1. First, use a drill bit that matches the diameter of the plastic expansion anchor to drill a hole in the wall; the hole should be 0.5 cm deeper than the length of the anchor itself.
2. Next, use a hammer to tap the plastic expansion anchor into the hole until it is fully inserted.
3. Finally, secure the hook to the plastic expansion anchor using a screw to complete the installation.

Plastic expansion anchors are primarily used for fastening and installing various small-to-medium-sized hanging items and are suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments. However, please avoid using them to support heavy loads or heavy equipment, as this could lead to accidents and unnecessary damage.
