FAQs

What is Elementech 400 coating?

Elementech 400 is an anti-corrosive metal finish providing up to six times the protection of standard zinc coatings. It is Cr6+ free and salt spray tested to 400 hours.

What size screw is included in the box?

The box contains 3.5 x 25mm screws.

Are these screws suitable for outdoor use?

These screws are suitable for interior use.

What is the benefit of the drill and drive thread?

The drill and drive thread minimizes timber splitting, reduces 'jacking' and spinning of joined timber, and increases pull-out strength for a firmer fix.

What type of bit is needed?

A Torx® compatible bit is required. A bit is included in the box.

How many screws are in the box?

Each box contains 200 screws.

Can I use these screws with pressure-treated lumber?

Due to the coating these screws are designed for interior use, so are not recommended for use with pressure-treated lumber.

Troubleshooting

Screw head stripping during installation.

Ensure the correct Torx® bit is being used and that it's properly seated in the screw head. Reduce driving speed if necessary.

Screw is difficult to drive in.

Pre-drill pilot holes, especially when working with hardwood. Apply more pressure and use a slower driving speed.

Screw not countersinking properly.

Ensure the screw is perpendicular to the wood surface and use consistent pressure during driving.
