DIYUK Torx Wafer Head Structural Timber Screws 6.0 x 200mm, Self Tapping Yellow Zinc Plated, Pack of 10

Self-tapping for cleaner, faster fitting: a sharp point starts the screw and helps prevent the timber from splitting, cutting notches along the lower thread slice through the wood as it drives, and a reaming cutter beneath the head clears shavings so the wafer head seats firmly without a pilot hole in most softwood and general structural timber. Wide wafer head and partial thread for a strong, gap-free joint: the broad bearing surface spreads clamping load for high pull-through resistance without needing a separate washer, while the partial thread draws the two timber sections tightly together as it drives; the TX30 drive gives a secure, slip-free grip for confident driving with an impact driver or screw gun. Suited to structural timber-to-timber connections such as decking subframes and boards, timber framing and stud partitions, fence panels and pergola structures, joist and rafter fixing in floor and roof construction, and heavy landscaping timbers or railway sleepers, wherever holding strength matters more than a flush, countersunk finish. Pack of 10 screws, each measuring 6.0mm gauge x 200mm long with a TX30 drive and weighing approximately 27.0g, made from carbon steel with a yellow zinc-plated finish and a wax topcoat that reduces driving torque and adds general-purpose corrosion resistance. Manufactured and independently tested to EN 14592:2008+A1:2012, the harmonised European standard for wood construction screws; the 6.0mm gauge carries a characteristic tensile capacity of 12.83kN (2,884 lbf), with a zinc coating of at least 5 microns for durable corrosion protection.
