TechFast Light Duty Timber to Steel Roofing Screws 5.5 x 50mm Elementech Box 100

Forgefix TechFast Timber to Steel CSK/Wing Screws are specifically designed for the reliable connection of timber to steel frame structures. These screws feature an innovative design that enhances both efficiency and performance during installation.

Key Features

- Breakaway Wings: Each screw is equipped with strategically placed breakaway wings. These wings create a clearance hole, preventing the threads from engaging with the timber while drilling through. Once the screws reach the steel substrate, the wings break off, allowing the threads to engage effectively with the metal.

- TORX Compatible Insert: The screws come with a TORX compatible insert, which facilitates a higher torque transmission. This feature makes it easier to drive the screws into materials without slipping, ensuring a secure fit and reducing the risk of stripping the screw head.

- Improved Countersinking: Forgefix has integrated recessed ribs into the screw design, which improve the countersinking capability. This means that the screws can sit flush with the surface of the timber, resulting in a neat, professional finish.

- Fire and Corrosion Resistance: Constructed to withstand tough environmental conditions, these screws are fire and corrosion resistant, making them suitable for various applications both indoors and outdoors. This durability ensures long-term performance and reliability in any building project.
