FAQ

Product Details

Is the Shelf Retainer D5/16.0mm Plug compatible with a 5 mm drill hole?

Yes. This model is designed for a drill hole of 5.00 mm and uses a plug style installation. If your fitting holes are measured differently, it is best to check compatibility before use.

Will it suit a 16 mm thick shelf?

Yes. The Shelf Retainer D5/16.0mm Plug Pl Trans is made for a 16 mm shelf thickness, helping to hold the shelf securely with a snug fit in the prepared holes.

How is it installed, and do I need any special tools?

It is designed to be plugged in. In typical use, you drill the required hole size and then insert the retainer so it sits firmly. A drill is required for the shelf hole, but no additional fixings are normally needed for the retainer itself.

What is the pin length, and why does it matter?

The pin length is 7.00 mm. This dimension affects how the retainer engages once inserted, so matching it to your shelf hole depth and bracket design is important for a stable result.

Is the retainer suitable for everyday living and light commercial furniture use?

Yes. As a plastic shelf support connector, it is commonly used to support shelves in furniture settings where a neat, reliable retention point is required. For heavier loads or frequent adjustments, you should still follow your shelf and bracket load guidance.

What does Plug Pl Trans mean, and is it easy to blend in?

“Plug” indicates the insert type, while “Trans” typically refers to a translucent finish. This can help it look more discreet through holes compared with fully opaque fixings, especially where parts may be visible.

Ready to fit a shelf correctly? If your shelf is 16 mm thick and you have a 5 mm hole to match, choosing Part No: 282.51.400 is a straightforward way to get the right fit for your shelf bracket installation.
