The ESSVE WINGSCREW TX 4.8x85 mm is a professional-grade fastener engineered for demanding construction tasks, specifically designed for attaching wood to metal. This screw features a specialized countersunk head that allows for a flush, clean finish, and a TX drive system that ensures excellent torque transmission during installation. With a length of 85 mm and a diameter of 4.8 mm, it provides robust holding power for various carpentry and structural applications.
Advantages
The primary advantage of this fastener is its specialized wing design, which clears the hole in the wood to prevent the screw from gripping the material prematurely, ensuring a tight connection between the wood and the metal substrate. The galvanized coating provides essential protection against corrosion, making it suitable for environments where moisture might be a concern. The TX drive interface minimizes the risk of cam-out, allowing for efficient and precise driving with power tools, while the countersunk head profile ensures that the screw head sits perfectly level with the surface of the material.
Suitable for
- Attaching wooden boards to metal frames
- General carpentry and construction projects
- Fastening sub-flooring or decking to metal joists
- Professional renovation and building tasks
When it may not be suitable
This screw is specifically optimized for wood-to-metal applications and may not be the most efficient choice for pure wood-to-wood fastening where standard wood screws would be more cost-effective. It is also not recommended for use in highly corrosive environments, such as coastal areas or direct contact with treated timber containing high levels of copper, where stainless steel fasteners would be required.
Key specifications
- Length: 85 mm
- Diameter: 4.8 mm
- Head type: Countersunk
- Drive type: TX
- Coating: Galvanized
- Standard: DIN 7504PH
- Quantity: 200 pieces
How to use
To achieve the best results, ensure that the metal substrate is of an appropriate thickness for the screw's self-drilling capabilities. Use a compatible TX bit to drive the screw into the material. Apply steady pressure and consistent speed until the wings have cleared the wood and the screw has successfully tapped into the metal. Continue driving until the countersunk head is flush with the surface of the wood. Avoid over-tightening to maintain the integrity of the wood fibers around the screw head.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify the thickness of the metal frame to ensure compatibility with the screw length
- Check the total quantity required for your project against the 200-piece pack size
- Ensure the galvanized finish meets the environmental requirements of your specific application
Usage recommendations
For optimal performance, always use a high-quality power drill with adjustable torque settings to prevent stripping the screw head or damaging the wood surface. Ensure the drill bit is correctly seated in the TX drive before applying force.
