Product Information

Full details

The TIMco C2 Clamp-Fix Multi-Purpose Screws are designed for professional carpenters and builders needing a robust solution for timber-to-timber applications. Their key benefit is preventing timber jacking and providing superior pull-out resistance, while a potential caveat is the specific TX drive recess requiring the correct bit. These 6.0 x 130mm screws feature twin-cut technology, a dual-angle thread, and a polymer coating for ease of insertion and enhanced durability.

FAQs

What does 'C2 Clamp-Fix' mean?

C2 Clamp-Fix refers to TIMco's specific design for these screws, engineered to provide high clamping force and prevent timber jacking in demanding applications.

Do I need to pre-drill pilot holes?

Typically, pre-drilling is not necessary due to the twin-cut point, which provides rapid pick-up. However, for very hard woods or when screwing close to edges, pre-drilling may help prevent splitting.

What is the advantage of the polymer coating?

The high-molecular polymer coating reduces insertion torque by up to 52%, making installation easier and faster, while also providing rust protection up to 20 times longer than standard zinc plating.

What type of screwdriver bit do I need?

These screws feature a precision TX drive recess, so you will need a compatible TX bit, typically a TX30.

Are these screws suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, the advanced coating system provides enhanced rust protection, making them suitable for professional carpentry, joinery, and construction applications, including outdoor timber structures.

What is timber jacking?

Timber jacking is an issue where the wood can be pushed upwards or apart by the screw threads during insertion. The C2 Clamp-Fix design is specifically engineered to counteract this effect.

What are the dimensions of these screws?

The dimensions are 6.0mm in diameter and 130mm in length.

Troubleshooting

Screw cam-out during installation

Ensure you are using the correct size and type of TX drive bit. Apply firm, consistent pressure directly into the screw head.

Timber jacking occurs

Verify that the screw is being driven straight. Ensure the timber is properly supported during installation. The design of these screws is intended to minimize this, but proper technique is still important.

Screw not penetrating timber easily

Confirm you are using the correct driver bit and that the drill/driver is set to the appropriate torque setting. Check for any obstructions on the screw tip.

Poor finish, screw head not flush

Ensure the drill/driver is perpendicular to the surface. The ribs under the head should aid countersinking; if not, check for excessive resistance or obstructions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces timber jacking, ensuring stable connections.
  • High pull-out resistance for secure and long-lasting fastenings.
  • Reduced insertion torque makes installation faster and less strenuous.
  • Superior rust protection offers enhanced durability in various environments.
  • Prevents timber splitting and ensures a clean, flush finish.

Cons

  • Requires a specific TX drive bit for proper installation.
  • Primarily suited for timber-to-timber applications, may not be ideal for other materials.
  • Box quantity of 100 might be limiting for very large projects.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure you are using the correct TX drive bit (typically a TX30) compatible with the screw head. Pre-drilling is generally not required due to the twin-cut point, but may be advisable in very hard woods to prevent splitting, especially near edges.

Compatibility: These screws are specifically engineered for timber-to-timber applications. They are suitable for professional carpentry, joinery, and general timber construction where strong, reliable fastening is critical.

Care: Store screws in a dry environment to maintain the integrity of the polymer coating. Clean any debris from the screw head before insertion. After installation, ensure the countersunk head is flush with the timber surface.
