Screw Cimco 193042 45 mm Zinc Plated Steel Flat Head

Cimco 193042 is a 45 mm zinc plated steel screw with a flat head and a 4.5 mm thread diameter. Designed for general fastening tasks, this single-piece screw offers corrosion-resistant plating and a flat head profile that sits flush with surfaces when countersunk. The screw is suitable for a variety of indoor assembly and repair jobs where a discreet, secure fastening is required.

Advantages

The zinc plated steel construction provides basic corrosion protection while maintaining strength for common fastening needs. The flat head design enables a flush finish in countersunk holes, reducing snagging and creating a neater appearance. Its 4.5 mm thread diameter balances load-bearing capability and compatibility with standard pilot drills and taps used in household and light trade applications.

Suitable for

• Indoor furniture assembly and repair
• Mounting brackets, panels, and trim
• General carpentry and joinery tasks
• Small appliance and accessory fastening

Key specifications

• Length: 45 mm
• Material: zinc plated steel
• Head type: flat head (countersink)
• Thread diameter: 4.5 mm
• Pack quantity: 1 piece

How to use

For secure fastening, select a pilot hole appropriate for a 4.5 mm thread diameter and the material being fastened. Countersink the hole to accommodate the flat head so the screw sits flush with the surface. Use a compatible driver or screwdriver bit to apply steady torque until the head is level with the material; avoid over-tightening to prevent stripping the thread or damaging the plated finish. When fastening into hard materials, pre-drilling and lubrication may ease insertion.

Usage recommendations

Store in a dry environment to preserve the zinc plating. For exterior or high-moisture environments, consider using stainless steel or a corrosion-resistant coated alternative. Verify material thickness and choose an appropriate pilot hole and countersink size to ensure a flush and secure fit.
