• Meets BPIR regulation
• 316 stainless
• Star drive allows for greater torque.
• Heads look uniform across screws, unlike Square Drive heads which need to be lined up to achieve a uniform look.
• Pre-drilling generally not required depending on timber and driver (except on board ends).
• Timber is protected from tearing or splitting by the drill tip.
• The self-drilling tip makes the installation quick and easy.
• Small head diameter ensures that the head can sink in cleanly and easily.
• Grooved shank adds extreme holding-down strength.
• Available with three different finishes A) stainless, B) silicone bronze vintage, and C) black coated.
• Smooth head for a perfect barefoot proof finish.

Applications

• Commonly used for hardwood up to 21mm thick and also composite decking
• Decking and cladding to timber substructures.
• Designed especially for hardwood usage.
• Tips for use:
• Use T20 Max Torsion tip to drive screw.

Functionality

• Use T20 Max Torsion tip to drive screw.

1) The innovative step/washer cover head with SIT® drive (TX compatible) allows for optimum torque transmission, a tight and snug fit, and fast centering.

2) The aggressive shank gives the screw extreme grip with reduced drive-in torque; making the screw suitable for use in hardwood without snapping.

3) The asymmetrical thread enables the screw to feature a reduced setting torque, making it easy to screw in. Enjoy up to 30% faster screwing time due to the screws anti-friction coating.

4) A new pyramid shaped drilling tip reduces splitting of the timber and allows faster drilling; optimised for hardwood decking and cladding.

The stainless steel grade of the screws (304 and 316) gives the screws a high corrosion and weather resistance, increased fracture torque, and makes them suitable for outdoor use and close to water applications.

For best results, we recommend pre-drilling and pre-countersinking holes.

Pre-drilling may be necessary in extremely hard timbers.

For highly corrosive environments, we recommend the use of the 316 Stainless Steel coloured screw only (not vintage or black coated).
