Description
Overview:
The Forgefix TechFast Hex Head Roofing Screw TFHL5532 is a steel self-drilling fastener for fixing metal cladding and sheet steel to light section steel purlins. Finished with zinc plating and an 'Elementech' coating, it offers strong corrosion resistance for external use. A bonded rubber sealing washer compresses under load to form a long-lasting weather seal. The hex head gives positive drive and control using a standard hex socket in a cordless drill or impact driver. Each screw measures 5.5 mm diameter by 32 mm length (approx. 0.22 in x 1.26 in), a common size for roofing and side cladding work. Supplied in a pack of 100, TFHL5532 helps deliver consistent, reliable installations on agricultural, industrial, and domestic metal roofing projects.
