FAQs

What is the main advantage of the Hex Flange Advanced Coach Screws over traditional ones?

The primary advantage is the significantly faster installation time, up to three times quicker, due to the aggressive slash point tip and compatibility with power tools.

Can these screws be used in treated timber?

Yes, they are suitable for use in treated timber, as well as softwood, hardwood, and man-made boards.

What material are these screws made from?

They are typically made from steel, with a zinc-plated and yellow-passivated finish for corrosion resistance.

What size hex bit is needed for these screws?

These 12mm screws usually require a 10mm or 5/16" hex socket drive bit.

How many screws are in a box?

Each box contains 25 screws.

Can I use these screws in masonry?

Yes, they can be used in masonry when paired with appropriate nylon wall plugs.

Do I need to use a special driver?

No, they are designed to be used with standard hex drive bits and common power tools like impact drivers or drills.

Troubleshooting

Screw will not drive easily or is stripping the hex head.

Ensure the correct pilot hole size has been used. Check that the hex drive bit is fully engaged in the screw head and that the correct tool is being used (e.g., not an excessively worn bit or an underpowered tool).

Wood splitting during installation.

Verify the pilot hole size. The slash point minimizes splitting, but an undersized pilot hole can still cause issues, especially in brittle materials. Ensure screws are driven straight.

Screw appears to be rusting prematurely.

While zinc-plated and yellow-passivated, prolonged exposure to harsh, corrosive environments can eventually affect the finish. Ensure screws are stored correctly and avoid prolonged contact with moisture or aggressive chemicals.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly faster installation compared to traditional coach screws.
  • Reduced risk of wood splitting thanks to the aggressive point.
  • Durable and corrosion-resistant finish for longevity.
  • Can be used with power tools for maximum efficiency.
  • Provides a stable and strong connection.

Cons

  • Requires appropriate pilot holes to be drilled for optimal performance.
  • Yellow passivation may not be suitable for all aesthetic requirements.
  • Not intended for structural load-bearing applications without proper engineering assessment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure optimal performance, always pre-drill a pilot hole. The recommended pilot hole size will vary depending on the material being fastened. For softwoods, a slightly smaller diameter than the screw core is typical, while hardwoods may require a larger pilot hole. Always consult TIMco's technical data for specific guidance. These screws are compatible with standard hex drive bits (e.g., 10mm or 5/16" hex socket) and can be driven with impact drivers or drills. For use in masonry, pair with appropriately sized nylon wall plugs. No special care is required beyond standard storage practices to prevent damage to the finish. Keep screws in their original packaging in a dry environment to maintain their corrosion resistance.
