wall plug

Electrical outlet point

A wall plug is a plastic or fiber sleeve inserted into a drilled hole in masonry or drywall, designed to expand and grip when a screw is driven into it.

Without a wall plug, screws won't hold securely in brittle materials like brick or plaster: Use a wall plug if you're mounting the shelf on concrete.

Also called an anchor or rawlplug.
