Timco Coach Woodscrews - Gold - 6.0 X 80

The hex flange head provides a larger surface area, which distributes pressure more evenly and offers a more secure fixing compared to standard hex heads.

Yes, they have a zinc and yellow passivation finish offering Corrosion Rating 2, suitable for occasionally damp/wet, rural, and sheltered areas. For prolonged or harsh outdoor exposure, additional protection or specific exterior-grade fasteners may be needed.

The aggressive slash point tip reduces the need for pre-drilling, especially in softwoods. However, for very hard woods, dense man-made boards, or when using masonry plugs, pre-drilling is recommended.

An 8mm socket or wrench is required to drive the hex flange head.

Yes, they are power tool compatible and can be used with impact drivers fitted with an appropriate 8mm socket bit.

This standard relates to fasteners used in timber structures, ensuring the screws meet specific performance and quality requirements for structural applications.

They are designed as a modern replacement, offering improved driving performance with the slash point tip and often a more secure head type, while maintaining structural integrity.

Ensure you are using the correct size pilot hole for the wood density. The slash point is designed for reduced splitting, but very hard woods may still benefit from pre-drilling.

Ensure the socket bit is fully engaged with the hex flange head and that the drill/driver is set to an appropriate torque setting. Avoid over-tightening.

Verify that a suitable nylon plug is being used and that it is correctly inserted into the pre-drilled hole. Ensure the screw size is appropriate for the plug and the load.
