Screw BOXER syl 6.0 x 100 mm — wood/metal fastening, zinc-plated

BOXER syl 6.0 x 100 mm screw is designed for general fastening tasks in construction and carpentry. With a 6.0 mm thread diameter and 100 mm length, this zinc-plated screw is suitable for joining timber, sheet materials and thin metal parts where a strong, recessed fastener is required. The zinc plating provides basic corrosion resistance for interior use and limited outdoor exposure when protected from direct weathering. Intended for use with standard drivers and compatible pilot-drilled holes, this screw delivers reliable mechanical clamping in structural and finishing applications.

Advantages

The BOXER syl 6.0 x 100 mm screw combines a robust thread profile with a length that supports deep embedment into wood or composite panels, improving pull-out resistance and joint stiffness. Zinc plating reduces the risk of surface rust in typical indoor environments and in sheltered outdoor locations. The screw’s dimensions are compatible with common construction practice, simplifying selection for timber framing, substructures and metal-to-wood connections when a countersunk or flush finish is desired.

Suitable for

• Joining timber elements in framing and carpentry
• Fixing sheet materials and composite panels to wooden supports
• Connecting thin metal components to wood where mechanical fastening is required
• Interior finishing and structural subframes with protected outdoor use

Key specifications

• Thread diameter: 6.0 mm
• Length: 100 mm
• Material finish: zinc-plated for basic corrosion resistance
• Head type: countersunk/flush (suitable for recessed installation)
• Application: wood-to-wood, wood-to-sheet, wood-to-thin-metal fastening

How to use

Select a compatible driver bit and, where necessary, drill a pilot hole appropriate for a 6.0 mm screw to prevent splitting in hardwoods or near edges. Position the components, align the screw perpendicular to the work surface and drive the screw until the head is flush with the material if a recessed finish is required. Ensure the screw is fully engaged in the receiving material to achieve the designed clamping force; avoid over-torquing which can damage threads or reduce holding strength.

Usage recommendations

For best results, pre-drill pilot holes when working with hardwoods or near board ends, and use appropriate corrosion-resistant alternatives or coatings for prolonged outdoor exposure. Match screw length to material thickness so that sufficient thread engagement occurs without protrusion through the opposite face.
