Extended Product Information

FAQs

What size are these screws?

These are 4.5 x 60mm screws.

What type of driver bit do I need?

You will need a TORX(r) T15 driver bit.

Can I use these screws on composite decking?

Yes, these screws are specifically designed for composite decking.

Do I need to pre-drill?

Pre-drilling is recommended for hardwoods. For most softwoods and composite decking, the self-drilling feature will eliminate the need for pre-drilling.

How many screws are in a tub?

The pack contains a tub of 500 screws.

Are these screws load-bearing?

Yes, these screws are CE approved for use in load-bearing timber construction.

What is Elementech 2000?

Elementech 2000 is a surface treatment that provides superior corrosion resistance.

Troubleshooting

Screw head snapping off.

Ensure the correct driver bit is used (T15 TORX(r)) and avoid over-tightening. If working with hardwood, pre-drill pilot holes.

Screw not driving in easily.

Make sure you are using the correct driver bit and apply steady pressure. If you are working with hardwood, pre-drilling is recommended.

Screw rusting prematurely.

Check for any damage to the Elementech 2000 coating. Ensure screws are fully countersunk. If the issue persists, consider replacing the affected screws.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High corrosion resistance with Elementech 2000 treatment.
  • Self-drilling threads simplify installation and reduce splitting.
  • Strong and durable due to hardened case and core.
  • Reduced head for a clean, flush finish.
  • TORX(r) compatible insert ensures a secure drive and reduces cam-out.

Cons

  • Requires pre-drilling in hardwoods.
  • Specific to decking applications.
  • May require more force to drive than some other screw types due to the self-drilling design.
  • Green finish may not match all decking materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Compatibility: These screws are compatible with softwood, hardwood, and composite decking materials. Note: Pre-drilling is recommended for hardwoods.
  2. Tools: You'll need a TORX(r) T15 compatible driver bit.
  3. Installation:
  • Ensure the decking boards are aligned correctly.
  • Position the screw and apply firm, even pressure. The self-drilling tip should start immediately.
  • Drive the screw until the head is flush with the surface.
  • Avoid over-tightening.
  1. Care: No specific care is required beyond ensuring the screws are securely fastened and periodically inspecting your deck for any signs of loosening or corrosion.
