FAQs

What is the benefit of the hexagon head?

The hexagon head allows for greater torque application, making the screws easier to tighten securely.

What is the purpose of the zinc plating?

Zinc plating provides corrosion resistance, extending the lifespan of the screws, especially in outdoor applications.

Can these screws be used with treated lumber?

Yes, but ensure the screws are compatible with the specific treatment chemicals to prevent corrosion.

What size pilot hole should I drill?

The pilot hole size should typically be slightly smaller than the core diameter of the screw threads. Refer to a drilling guide for specific screw sizes.

Can I use these screws in concrete?

Yes, but you will need to use appropriate wall plugs designed for concrete applications to ensure a secure fixing.

How do I choose the right screw length?

The screw length should be sufficient to penetrate the timber and provide a secure hold. As a general rule, the screw should penetrate into the second piece of timber by at least one-half to two-thirds of its length.

What tools are needed for installation?

You will need a drill with the correct drill bit for pilot holes, a socket driver or wrench sized for the screw head, and safety glasses.

Troubleshooting

Screw is difficult to insert.

Ensure the pilot hole is the correct size for the screw and use a lubricant if needed. Consider using a different drill bit if the wood is too hard.

Screw head is stripping during installation.

Use the correct size socket driver and avoid applying excessive force. If the issue persists, the screw or timber might be damaged; replace it.

Corrosion on the screw head.

Replace the screw with a new one to maintain the integrity of the fixing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High torque capability due to the hexagon head.
  • Excellent corrosion resistance due to zinc plating.
  • Easy and quick insertion with single-thread design.
  • Suitable for a wide range of applications in joinery and fencing.
  • Conforms to DIN 571 standards, ensuring quality and reliability.

Cons

  • Requires a socket driver or wrench for installation.
  • May not be suitable for all types of wood due to thread design.
  • Requires pre-drilling in certain hard wood applications.
  • Appearance may not be ideal for visible applications where aesthetics are important.
  • The hexagon head might protrude from the surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Preparation: Determine the correct screw size based on the thickness of the timber and the application requirements. Always pre-drill a pilot hole.
  2. Compatibility: The screws are compatible with most types of timber. For masonry applications, use appropriate wall plugs.
  3. Installation: Use a socket driver or wrench to apply the necessary torque to the hexagon head, ensuring a tight and secure fit.
  4. Care: Avoid over-tightening the screws, which can strip the threads or damage the timber. Check for corrosion in outdoor applications and replace any damaged screws.
  5. Storage: Store screws in a dry environment to prevent corrosion.
