The Taskar 40mm Chrome Flat Head Screws are designed for electricians and DIY enthusiasts installing or replacing electrical faceplates, especially screwless and decorative types. Their primary benefit is a flush finish, preventing raised heads that can cause fitment issues. A potential caveat is their specific M3.5 size, which may not fit all applications. This set includes ten 40mm M3.5 chrome screws with a flat countersunk head, ideal for deeper recesses and multiple installations.

M3.5 refers to the metric thread size of the screw, indicating a nominal diameter of 3.5 millimeters. This is a common size for electrical faceplate fixings.
These screws are designed specifically for attaching the faceplate to the electrical box or mounting block, not for securing the electrical box to the wall structure.
Typically, chrome-plated screws are not strongly magnetic unless the underlying material is steel. Their primary function is mechanical fastening.
The flat countersunk head is designed to sit flush or below the surface of the material it's fastening into, creating a smooth finish, especially important for screwless and decorative faceplates.
Each pack contains ten Taskar 40mm flat head screws.
While they could technically be painted, it's not recommended as it may interfere with their fit and finish. They are intended for use with their existing chrome appearance.
Verify the screw is an M3.5 size and that the receiving thread in the electrical box or mounting block is compatible. Ensure no debris is obstructing the thread.
Confirm that the faceplate is designed for flat head screws and that the recess is deep enough. If the recess is too shallow, a different screw type or a deeper mounting box might be necessary.
Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. If significant scratching has occurred, replacement may be necessary to maintain aesthetic consistency.
Setup: These screws are designed for straightforward installation into pre-existing threaded inserts within electrical boxes or mounting blocks. Ensure the electrical connection is isolated before proceeding with any faceplate installation.
Compatibility: Primarily compatible with electrical faceplates designed for M3.5 screws. They are particularly beneficial for screwless and decorative plate designs where a flush finish is critical. Verify your existing setup uses M3.5 thread size.
Care: The chrome finish is durable but should be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or tools that could scratch the surface. For long-term storage, keep in a dry environment to prevent corrosion.
