This is a small plastic or rubber device(typically blue in color) used to provide additional support when securing screws or bolts into walls,particularly in materials like plasterboard or drywall.
The purpose of a wall plug is to spread the load of the screw or bolt over a larger area of the wall,preventing it from pulling out under the weight or pressure of whatever is being attached.
The plug is inserted into a pre-drilled hole in the wall,and the screw or bolt is tightened into the plug,it expands,gripping the surrounding material securely.
They are available in different sizes and designs to accomodate various screw or bolt diameters and wall thicknesses.
They are commonly used in construction,DIY projects,and furniture assembly to securely mount items such as shelves,brackets,curtain rods and light fixtures to walls.
