Extended Product Information

FAQs

What size screw should I use?

The product information states the screw is 6.3 x 150mm. This is suitable for joining metal roofing panels to timber frames, with a steel thickness of 0.5-1.2mm. Ensure that the screw length is appropriate for the thickness of the timber frame and roofing panel combined.

Do I need to pre-drill holes?

No, the self-drilling T17 Gash Point eliminates the need for pre-drilling.

What is the head type?

The head type is an 8mm hex head.

What is the washer made of?

The washer is made of EPDM rubber.

Are these screws suitable for use with steel frames?

No, these screws are specifically designed for use with metal roofing panels and timber frames.

What is the Elementech coating?

The Elementech coating is a corrosion-resistant coating that protects the screws from rust.

How many screws are in a pack?

The pack size is 50.

What is the salt spray test rating?

The screws are salt spray tested to 1,000 hours.

Troubleshooting

Screw is not drilling through the metal roofing panel.

Ensure you are using the correct screw size for the metal thickness. Apply firm, steady pressure when driving the screw.

EPDM washer is not sealing properly, leading to leaks.

Ensure the screw is driven straight and the washer is flush with the roofing panel. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the washer.

Screw head is stripping during installation.

Use the correct size hex head driver. Apply steady pressure and avoid excessive force.

Corrosion is present on the screws.

Inspect the surrounding area and replace any corroded screws immediately. Ensure that the roof is properly maintained and that any damage is promptly repaired. If the corrosion is extensive, consider replacing all the screws.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Ensure you have the correct size and quantity of Forgefix TechFast screws for your project.
Use a hex head driver that fits the 8mm hex head of the screws.
Position the metal roofing panel onto the timber frame.
