The nails have a self-drill tip and are zinc plated for increased corrosion resistance and durability. The wafer head distributes the load under the screw head, offering a firm positive fixing in a similar way to that of a washer.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAPPLICATION:\u003cbr\u003eThe large wafer head distributes the load on numerous types of PVCu sections requiring joining.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eZinc coatings prevent oxidation of the protected metal to create a longer lasting finish. It does this by forming a barrier and by acting as a sacrificial anode if this barrier is damaged. Zinc oxide is a fine white dust that (in contrast to iron oxide) does not trigger a breakdown of the substrate’s surface integrity as it is formed. The zinc oxide, if left intact, can act as a barrier to further oxidation, in a way similar to the protection afforded to aluminium and stainless steels by their oxide layers.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe Phillips screw has four simple tapered slots. It is designed so that a Phillips tip screwdriver can turn a Phillips screw with increasing torque. When the torque gets too strong for the tip, the screwdriver tip winds itself out of the screw thus preventing over-tightening and or damage to the screw head.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eA self-drilling screw is similar to a sheet metal screw, but it has a drill-shaped point to cut through the substrate to eliminate the need for drilling a pilot hole. Designed for use in soft steel or other metals.","brand":"ForgeFix","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41383713079478,"sku":"TB-FORBPS48100P-01","price":9.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0532\/7054\/4566\/files\/FORBPS4850Z_9bc071bc-36b5-45a4-a1f8-e63345405791.png?v=1727990698","url":"https:\/\/trade-mart.co.uk\/products\/forgefix-100bps48100zp-baypole-self-drill-screw-phillips-wafer-head-zp-4-8-x-100mm-box-100","provider":"trade-mart.co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
