Raised head with a one-piece weather-proof EPDM washer, suitable for sheet metal, façade profiles,...Raised head with a one-piece weather-proof EPDM washer, suitable for sheet metal, façade profiles, or plastic cladding. Seals and prevents the entry of water and dirt, and spreads the pressure over a wider area. SPAX T-Star Plus Raised CSK Sealing A2 S-Steel T20 4.5 x 25mm (75Pk) in Stainless Steel Stainless Steel A2. Nothing can damage a building as much as water ingress. To prevent this, not only the building materials used must be waterproof, but the connecting means also belong to a well-thought-out sealing. The SPAX Plumbers' screw is used where plastic roof plates, plates, or connection profiles have to be permanently fixed tightly. For this purpose, our plumber screw is made of stainless steel and is supplied with an attached washer with an EPDM rubber seal. The latter prevents water from entering the construction through the drilled hole in the roof skin. Unlike other products, our sealing washer is one piece and has a diameter of 20 mm. This not only benefits the sealing itself but also the pressure distribution on the often sensitive plastic and metal surfaces. Screw and sealing washer are made of stainless steel A2 and can withstand direct weather without any problems. In addition to the larger sealing washer, it is above all our features typical of SPAX that make our SPAX-Plumbers so special: These include the T-STAR plus force attack and the 4CUT tip, which offer unique processing advantages. This means you can safely attach roof panels and outer linings in one operation and permanently seal the fixing points.
