Product Information

Full details

This guide is for DIY enthusiasts and professionals seeking a clean, finished look for visible Pozi screw heads. The Forgefix Pozi Compatible Cover Caps offer an aesthetically pleasing solution by concealing bare screws, providing a professional appearance to installations. A key caveat is their specific compatibility with Pozi screws of sizes 6 and 8 gauge (3.5-4.5mm). These caps feature a male Pozi insert that fits directly into the screw head, creating a seamless finish ideal for applications like sign mounting, sanitary installations, and furniture assembly.

FAQs

What size Pozi screws do these caps fit?

These caps are specifically designed for Pozi compatible screws of sizes 6 and 8 gauge, which corresponds to a screw shank diameter of approximately 3.5mm to 4.5mm.

Can I use these caps with Phillips head screws?

No, these caps are only compatible with Pozi compatible screw heads due to their unique internal Pozi insert design.

How do I attach the cover caps?

Simply align the cap over the driven Pozi screw head and push firmly until the cap clicks or sits securely in place. The internal insert engages with the screw head.

Are these caps permanent?

While they provide a secure fit, they are not intended for permanent installation and can be removed, although repeated removal may reduce their holding power.

Can these caps be painted?

Painting these caps is not recommended as it may obscure the Pozi insert and affect the fit, as well as potentially chip or peel over time.

What are the most common uses for these caps?

They are commonly used in sign installation, sanitary fittings, cupboard and carcass assembly, and any application where a clean, finished look is desired for visible Pozi screws.

How many caps are in a pack?

Each pack contains 50 black Pozi compatible cover caps.

Troubleshooting

Cap does not fit securely

Verify you are using the correct size Pozi screw (6 or 8 gauge / 3.5-4.5mm). Ensure the screw head is clean and free from debris. Try pushing the cap on with a slight twisting motion to ensure full engagement of the Pozi insert.

Cap appears loose or wobbly

This may indicate the screw head is slightly recessed or the screw is not fully driven. Ensure the screw is flush with or slightly proud of the surface and driven correctly into the material. Check if the screw type is indeed a Pozi compatible head.

Cap doesn't sit flush

The screw head might be slightly over-driven or the screw isn't perfectly perpendicular. Try to ensure screws are driven straight and to a consistent depth. Some minor adjustment may be needed by gently nudging the cap.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  2. Drive the Pozi screw into your material until it is securely fastened and at the desired depth.
  3. Align a Forgefix Pozi Compatible Cover Cap over the screw head.
  4. Gently but firmly push the cap down until the male Pozi insert engages with the screw head and the cap sits flush.

  • They fit Pozi screw sizes: 6 gauge (3.5mm), 8 gauge (4.0-4.5mm).
  • They are not compatible with Phillips, slotted, Torx, or other screw head types.

Care:

  • Wipe clean with a slightly damp cloth if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners which may damage the finish.
  • These caps are not designed to be frequently removed and re-applied, as this may loosen the fit over time.
