Screw F. Reyher Nchfg. SPAX Pan head T-STAR plus 5 mm x 20 mm, zinc-coated, 200 pcs

SPAX Pan head, T-STAR plus is a 20 mm wood screw designed for visible attachment of metal fittings to wooden substrates. The screw features a pan (flush) head, a corrosion-resistant zinc finish, and the T-STAR plus drive for improved bit grip and reduced cam-out. A 4CUT tip and ground serrations allow easier penetration and faster, more secure fastening in wood.

Advantages

The T-STAR plus drive provides secure bit engagement and efficient torque transfer, reducing the risk of cam-out. The 4CUT tip and ground serrations enable screwing with less splitting and quicker installation. The zinc-plated finish improves surface corrosion resistance for metallic fittings.

Suitable for

• Attaching metal fittings, brackets and hardware to wood
• Interior carpentry and joinery work
• Assembly tasks where visible pan head fastening is acceptable

When it may not be suitable

These screws are intended for wood and visible metal fittings; they are not specified for structural connections requiring certified load-bearing fasteners. For exterior applications in highly corrosive environments or where stainless steel is required, a different corrosion class or material should be chosen.

Key specifications

• Length: 20 mm
• Thread length: 17 mm
• Thread diameter: 5 mm
• Head type: Pan (flush) head
• Drive type: T-STAR plus (Torx)
• Tip: 4CUT for reduced splitting and easier penetration
• Surface finish: blue/zinc plating
• Pack quantity: 200 pieces

How to use

Select an appropriate T-STAR/Torx bit and secure it in the screwdriver or drill. Position the screw on the fitting and start at low speed to engage the 4CUT tip; increase speed and torque as needed while avoiding over-torquing. For precise positioning or near edges, consider pilot drilling depending on wood type and thickness. Drive the screw until the pan head sits flush or at the desired protrusion.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended material: designed for use in wood
• Corrosion requirements: zinc plating offers basic corrosion protection; choose stainless or higher-grade coatings for harsh environments
• Length and diameter suitability for the thickness of the fittings and wood

Usage recommendations

Use a dedicated T-STAR/Torx driver bit to maximise bit grip and reduce cam-out. In dense hardwoods, consider pilot holes to control splitting; in softwoods the 4CUT tip often allows screwing without pre-drilling.
