Product Information

Full details

For professional carpenters, joiners, and construction workers needing secure timber-to-timber connections, the TIMco C2 Clamp-Fix Multi-Purpose Screws offer superior clamping performance and reduced installation effort. A potential consideration is their specialized TX40 drive, requiring the correct bit. These 8.0 x 360mm screws feature patented twin-cut technology, dual-angle threading to prevent timber jacking, and a low-friction coating for easier insertion and enhanced corrosion resistance. The countersunk head includes ribs for a flush finish without damaging the material.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the main advantage of the dual-angle thread design?

The dual-angle thread design provides exceptional pull-out resistance and high-performance clamping, ensuring strong and durable timber-to-timber connections.

How does the polymer coating benefit installation?

The high-molecular polymer coating significantly reduces insertion torque by up to 52%, making the screws easier and faster to drive into timber.

Can these screws be used for outdoor projects?

Yes, the screws feature superior corrosion resistance due to their polymer coating, making them suitable for outdoor timber applications where standard fasteners might corrode.

What is 'timber jacking' and how do these screws prevent it?

Timber jacking is the lifting or pushing of timber during screw insertion. The C2 Clamp-Fix screws are specifically engineered to prevent this, ensuring precise alignment and stable connections.

What size drill bit do I need for these screws?

You will need a TX40 drive bit for these screws. Ensure your drill or driver is equipped with this specific bit.

Are these screws suitable for attaching timber to metal?

These screws are primarily designed and optimized for timber-to-timber applications. Their performance and suitability for timber-to-metal connections are not specified.

How many screws are in a box?

Each box contains 25 TIMco C2 Clamp-Fix Multi-Purpose Screws.

Troubleshooting

Screw cam-out during installation

Ensure you are using a clean and correctly sized TX40 bit. Apply firm, consistent pressure directly into the screw head to maintain engagement.

Timber splitting despite the twin-cut point

While the twin-cut point minimizes splitting, extremely hard or brittle timber may still be susceptible. Pre-drilling a pilot hole, especially near the edge of the timber, can further prevent splitting.

Difficulty driving the screw

Verify you are using a suitable drill or impact driver with adequate power. Ensure the TX40 bit is fully seated in the screw head. The low-friction coating should facilitate easier driving; persistent difficulty might indicate a dull bit or an unusually dense timber.

Screw head does not sit flush

Ensure the countersunk head is driven fully into the timber. The under-head ribs are designed to help it sit flush, but the timber surface may need to be prepared to accept the head without obstruction.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional clamping performance and pull-out resistance due to dual-angle threading.
  • Reduced installation effort and time with a coating that lowers insertion torque by up to 52%.
  • Prevents timber jacking, ensuring accurate alignment in critical structural applications.
  • Superior corrosion resistance compared to standard zinc plating for long-term durability.
  • Flush finishing capability without damaging the timber surface thanks to head ribs.
  • Minimizes timber splitting with patented twin-cut point technology.

Cons

  • Requires a specific TX40 drive bit, limiting compatibility with standard screwdriver sets.
  • The 360mm length may be excessive for smaller or lighter-duty projects.
  • Primarily designed for timber-to-timber applications; performance in other materials is not specified.
  • The yellow color might be visually prominent in certain aesthetic applications.
  • Box quantity of 25 may be insufficient for large-scale projects, requiring multiple purchases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To install the TIMco C2 Clamp-Fix screws, ensure you have a drill or impact driver equipped with a TX40 bit. Align the screw with the timber pieces to be joined. Drive the screw slowly at first to allow the twin-cut point to engage the timber. Once engaged, increase speed to utilize the low-friction coating, which reduces insertion torque. Ensure the countersunk head sits flush with the surface, aided by the under-head ribs.

Compatibility: These screws are specifically designed for timber-to-timber applications. They are compatible with most common timber types used in construction and joinery. The required TX40 drive means compatibility is limited to tools fitted with this specific bit size.

Care: These screws feature a high-molecular polymer coating for enhanced corrosion resistance. To maintain their integrity, store them in a dry environment, away from excessive moisture. Clean any visible dirt or debris with a dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which could damage the protective coating.
