⚡ At a Glance
- • Holding Strength: Single threads increase pull-out values and speed insertion into soft boards
- • Best for: DIYers and tradespeople fixing PVCu, timber, chipboard and MDF
- • Not ideal for: Applications in masonry or metal where specialist fasteners are required
Zinc yellow plated hardened steel fasteners with Pozi flat double countersunk heads. Pack of 200 screws, size 3.0 x 45mm, supplied with +/-2% tolerance.
Flush, neat finishes – with Pozi flat double countersunk heads
Countersunk heads sit level with the surface while the Pozi profile provides four points of contact and avoids rounded corners. The result is a head that recesses cleanly for a discreet finish.
A flush head makes visible surfaces look tidy and reduces the need for filler or covering caps in finished joinery.
Secure grip and quick drive-in – with single-thread design and hardened steel
Single threads are engineered to increase pull-out resistance and allow faster insertion compared with finer multi-start threads. Hardened steel core improves shear strength for typical joinery tasks.
Higher pull-out values and reliable strength mean fixings stay put in timber, MDF and chipboard without frequent re-tightening.
Durable corrosion resistance – thanks to zinc yellow plating with passivation
Zinc yellow passivation is an electroplating process that adds a protective layer to hardened steel, reducing surface corrosion. The finish improves longevity in environments prone to damp.
Corrosion-resistant plating helps screws maintain integrity over time, suitable for indoor use and some exposed conditions where rust resistance matters.
