TIMco Hex Flange Advanced Coach Screws - 10.0 x 160mm - Yellow

Yes, the zinc-plated and passivated yellow finish provides good corrosion resistance, making them suitable for many outdoor applications. However, for extremely harsh or marine environments, stainless steel alternatives may offer superior longevity.

While the aggressive slash point is designed to reduce splitting and facilitate easier driving, pre-drilling a pilot hole is recommended, especially in hardwoods or when using the screws in masonry with a plug, to ensure optimal performance and prevent wood damage.

The hex flange head offers a larger bearing surface compared to standard hex heads, providing superior grip and better torque transfer. This reduces the likelihood of the driver bit slipping (cam-out) and ensures a more secure and controlled fastening.

Yes, they are compatible with most standard power drivers like drills and impact drivers. Ensure you use the correct size hex bit that fits snugly into the screw head for best results.

The aggressive slash point is angled to cut into the material as it drives, reducing the force required and minimizing the tendency for the material (especially wood) to split or fracture around the insertion point.

Each bag contains 18 TIMco Hex Flange Advanced Coach Screws.

Ensure a pilot hole is drilled, especially in hardwoods. Verify the correct driver bit is used and that the timber is not overly dense for the screw size. Reduce driving speed if using an impact driver.

Check that the driver bit is the correct size and in good condition. Ensure the screw head is clean and free from debris. Apply firm, consistent pressure during driving.

Confirm that a suitable nylon plug is being used and that it is the correct size for the screw and the pre-drilled hole. Ensure the hole is clear of dust.

Wipe down the screw with a clean cloth. Store unused screws in a dry, protected location. For extended exterior use, consider corrosion-resistant coatings or stainless steel alternatives if environments are highly aggressive.
