Description
Overview:
The 5.5 x 60mm Forgefix TechFast Timber to Steel CSK/Wing Screws are precision-crafted fasteners designed to securely join timber to steel frame constructions. Expertly engineered with a No.3 drill tip for self-drilling through heavy-gauge steel up to 5mm, these screws simplify installations without pre-drilling. The unique breakaway wings protect the screw's thread by reaming a clearance hole through timber, breaking off upon contacting steel, thereby allowing for seamless engagement with metal surfaces. Enhanced with a TORX® compatible insert, these screws ensure optimal power transmission and improved countersinking, thanks to their recessed ribs. Made to withstand the elements, they are both fire and corrosion-resistant, aligning with EU Safety, Health, and Environmental standards.
