Satellite Fixings Kit

This satellite fixings kit is built around one straightforward idea: turn up to a job with everything you need, nothing you don’t. Each kit contains 50 x 8 x 60mm hex head coach screws, 50 x 10mm lipped nylon plugs, and 50 washers. That’s a complete set of fixings for a full day’s worth of dish installations without rummaging through three separate bags or raiding someone else’s van.

The coach screws are zinc plated, which gives them meaningful protection against the kind of weather a wall-mounted satellite dish is going to see on a regular basis. Rain, frost, salt air on coastal properties — zinc plating isn’t a magic shield, but it’s a solid step up from bare steel and it’s the right choice for external fixings that aren’t going anywhere near a sealant or paint finish.

Why the Hex Head Matters on a Satellite Fixings Kit

The hex head design is worth mentioning because it’s one of those details that makes a real difference on site. A socket driver on an impact driver or a cordless drill in clutch mode seats these screws quickly and consistently, without the slippage you’d get from a cross-head in a tight corner under a soffit. When you’re doing multiple installs in a day, that speed adds up.

The 10mm lipped nylon plugs are matched to the screw diameter and sized for a solid grip in standard brick and blockwork. The lip prevents the plug from disappearing into the hole — one of those small annoyances that stops being funny after the third time it happens. Note that you’ll need a 10mm x 160mm masonry drill bit to use this kit; that’s not included, but it’s standard kit for any satellite installer worth their lanyard.

Fifty sets per kit makes this practical for a busy installer or a small team working through a batch of domestic jobs. Straightforward product, sensibly priced, does exactly what it says.
