The thermally separated stand-off installation in external thermal insulation composite systems
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.
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 TherMax 8 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.

Assembly instruction
Functioning
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.
The anti-cold cone uses a thermal barrier to minimise heat losses.
Installation does not require any special tools.
For use in wood without a plug, the wood (see the footnote beneath the load table) and plaster must be pre-drilled: TherMax 8: d0 = 14 mm, h0 = 50 mm.
The assortment offers connection possibilities using M6 metric screws, 6.3 mm self-tapping screws, 6.0 mm chipboard screws, and 4.5-5.5 mm chipboard screws if using an SX 5 plug.
