ForgeFix Self-Tapping Screw, Pozi, CSK, Zinc Plated, 1in x 6, Pack of 200

The ForgeFix Self-Tapping Screw features a Pozidriv drive and countersunk head, ensuring secure fastening and a smooth finish. These screws are zinc plated for superior corrosion resistance, making them durable for long-term use in various environments. The self-tapping design allows them to create their own thread in pre-drilled pilot holes, whether in sheet or solid materials. Single-threaded for better resistance to pull-out forces, these screws provide reliable performance in demanding applications.

Key Features:

• Zinc Plating: Forms a protective barrier against corrosion and acts as a sacrificial anode, preventing rust and extending the screw’s lifespan.
• Pozidriv Drive: Unlike Phillips screws, the Pozidriv has four additional contact points, minimising cam-out and enabling higher torque application.
• Countersunk Head: Sits flush with the substrate for a clean, smooth finish without protruding edges.
• Self-Tapping: No need for pre-threading, ideal for quick installations.

Zinc Coating Benefits:

The zinc plating provides excellent oxidation resistance, creating a long-lasting protective layer. Unlike iron oxide, zinc oxide does not degrade the metal’s integrity, acting as a passive shield and further enhancing durability. This protective layer is similar to aluminium and stainless steel oxide coatings.

Pozidriv Screw Design Advantages:

Forget slippage—the Pozidriv head design ensures better bit engagement and superior torque transfer compared to standard Phillips screws. It’s easily identifiable by the embossed 45° line on the head.
