Extended Product Information

FAQs

What size screw should I use?

The appropriate screw size depends on the thickness of the metal roofing sheet and the steel frame. Consult the product specifications or a professional installer for guidance.

Are washers required?

Yes, washers are required but not supplied. Make sure you use appropriate washers to ensure a watertight seal.

What is the Elementech coating?

The Elementech coating is a corrosion-resistant treatment applied to the screws to protect them from rust and environmental damage.

Can these screws be used with wood frames?

No, these screws are specifically designed for metal roofing sheets and steel frames. They are not suitable for use with wood frames.

What type of driver is needed for these screws?

An 8mm hex head driver is required for installing these screws.

What are the fire-resistant properties of the screws?

The screws are designed to meet fire safety standards, helping to maintain the integrity of the roof in the event of a fire.

How do I store these screws?

Store the screws in a dry place, away from moisture and corrosive materials, until ready for use.

Troubleshooting

Screw is not drilling into the steel.

Ensure you are using the correct size screw for the steel gauge. Check that the drill tip is not damaged and that sufficient pressure is applied during installation. If the steel is thicker than 12.5mm, a different screw type or pre-drilling may be necessary.

Screw head is stripping during installation.

Ensure the correct driver bit is being used, and that the power tool is set to the appropriate torque. Avoid over-tightening the screw.

Corrosion is appearing on the screw.

Check for any damage to the Elementech coating. If corrosion is significant, replace the affected screws with new ones.
