The nails have a self-drill tip and are zinc plated for increased corrosion resistance and durability. The wafer head distributes the load under the screw head, offering a firm positive fixing in a similar way to that of a washer.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eAPPLICATION:\u003cbr\u003eThe large wafer head distributes the load on numerous types of PVCu sections requiring joining.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eZinc coatings prevent oxidation of the protected metal to create a longer lasting finish. It does this by forming a barrier and by acting as a sacrificial anode if this barrier is damaged. Zinc oxide is a fine white dust that (in contrast to iron oxide) does not trigger a breakdown of the substrate’s surface integrity as it is formed. The zinc oxide, if left intact, can act as a barrier to further oxidation, in a way similar to the protection afforded to aluminum and stainless steels by their oxide layers.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe Phillips screw has four simple tapered slots. It is designed so that a Phillips tip screwdriver can turn a Phillips screw with increasing torque. When the torque gets too strong for the tip, the screwdriver tip winds itself out of the screw thus preventing over-tightening and or damage to the screw head.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eA self-drilling screw is similar to a sheet metal screw, but it has a drill-shaped point to cut through the substrate to eliminate the need for drilling a pilot hole. Designed for use in soft steel or other metals.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Forgefix","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56279743922508,"sku":"FORBP4860Z","price":4.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1007\/2866\/8492\/files\/1475153816-28207600.jpg?v=1766159243","url":"https:\/\/ciponline.co.uk\/products\/forgefix-baypole-self-drill-screw-phillips-wafer-head-zpass-4-8ass-xass-60mmass-box-100-p102324","provider":"Cassells Industrial Products Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
