Product Information

Full details

The Timco Window Fabrication Screw is an essential component for professional window installers and DIY enthusiasts focusing on the secure attachment of friction stays to PVCu frames. Engineered for efficiency and durability, these screws offer a reliable hold through a specialized shallow pan head and single deep thread design, though they are best suited for sheltered or occasionally damp environments rather than harsh, direct weather exposure.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these screws suitable for external exposure?

They are rated for occasionally damp or sheltered environments, but are not recommended for direct, unprotected exposure to extreme weather or coastal conditions.

What is the head type?

These feature a shallow pan head with serrations, designed for low-profile, flush mounting.

Can I use a power drill to install these?

Yes, they are designed for efficient installation with power tools, though you should use a PH2 bit and appropriate torque settings.

What is the primary material application?

These are specifically designed for attaching hardware to PVCu (plastic) window frames.

Do these meet building standards?

Yes, they are tested to BS EN ISO 9227:2006 and comply with both BPF and GGF industry guidelines.

Troubleshooting

Screw spinning in the hole

The pilot hole may be oversized due to over-drilling. Switch to a slightly larger screw or use a plastic anchor if local structural requirements allow.

Screw head strips during installation

Ensure your PH2 bit is not worn out. Use a slower drive speed to maintain full contact between the tool and the screw recess.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High pull-out resistance provided by deep thread geometry
  • Serrated pan head design prevents over-tightening or loosening
  • Tested to BS EN ISO 9227:2006 for corrosion resistance
  • Gimlet point allows for quick installation in PVCu
  • Meets industry standards from BPF and GGF

Cons

  • Not suitable for extreme marine or highly corrosive environments
  • Limited to Phillips PH2 driving tools
  • Fixed 25mm length may not suit all frame thicknesses

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best performance, use a high-quality Phillips PH2 bit and ensure your power tool is set to an appropriate torque setting to prevent stripping the PVCu pilot hole. While the zinc finish provides robust protection, it is recommended to keep the screws in their original packaging in a dry storage area until use to prevent premature surface degradation. If installing in an area with high moisture, ensure the friction stay hardware gasket is properly seated to prevent water ingress to the screw shank. These screws are designed for 4.8mm diameter requirements; verify your friction stay mounting holes align with this diameter before installation.
