FAQs

What is the WIROX coating?

The WIROX coating provides superior corrosion protection, making the screws suitable for outdoor use and extending their lifespan.

Do I need to pre-drill when using these screws?

Pre-drilling is generally not required, especially when using softwood. However, it is recommended for hardwoods to prevent splitting.

What is the benefit of the 4CUT point?

The 4CUT point allows for precise screw positioning, reduces wood splitting, and lowers the required driving torque.

What bit should I use with these screws?

You should use a T-STAR plus bit of the correct size for the screw.

What is the primary application for these screws?

These screws are primarily designed for use in construction, such as securing battens and squared timbers.

Are these screws suitable for use with treated lumber?

Yes, the WIROX coating provides good corrosion resistance, making them suitable for use with treated lumber.

What are the benefits of the T-STAR plus bit recess?

The T-STAR plus bit recess offers a secure fit and improved driving performance, minimizing bit slips.

Troubleshooting

Screw head strips during installation.

Ensure you are using the correct size T-STAR plus bit and applying consistent pressure. Reduce the driving speed if necessary.

Wood splits while inserting the screw.

Pre-drill pilot holes in hardwood. Consider using a screw with a different head type or screw point, such as a self-drilling screw, for very hard woods.

Screw does not fully seat.

Ensure the pilot hole is deep enough. If not using a pilot hole, apply more pressure and use a slower driving speed. Check for any obstructions in the pilot hole.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent corrosion resistance due to the WIROX coating.
  • The 4CUT point minimizes wood splitting and allows for easier screw insertion.
  • T-STAR plus bit recess improves driving performance and reduces bit slippage.
  • Partial threading offers enhanced grip.
  • Designed for high load-bearing capacity for secure connections.

Cons

  • Partial threading may require specific techniques for certain applications.
  • Not suitable for use with materials other than wood.
  • Requires using the correct size T-STAR bit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Selection: Choose the appropriate screw length based on the thickness of the materials being joined. Consider the appropriate head type for your application.
  2. Bit Compatibility: Use a T-STAR plus bit of the correct size for the screw. Ensure the bit is firmly seated to prevent slippage.
  3. Pre-Drilling: Pre-drilling is typically not required, but may be beneficial when working with hardwoods.
  4. Installation: Apply firm, consistent pressure while driving the screw. Avoid over-tightening.
  5. Material Compatibility: The screws are primarily designed for use with wood products.
  6. Storage: Store screws in a dry environment to prevent corrosion. Ensure that the original packaging is used for storage to keep them organized.
