ForgeFix

These Forgefix Carriage Bolts are Zinc Plated, and ideal for timber to timber joining. They come complete with a hex nut and are fully threaded to 100mm. Also known as 'Cup Square Hex Bolts', the square underneath the Cup stops rotation of the bolt when tightening.

Conform to DIN 603 and DIN 934 standards.

Available in a comprehensive range of sizes to suit most applications.

APPLICATION
Used mainly for fastening timber to timber and is extensively used for timber joist construction in house building and numerous decking applications.

A Carriage Bolt, also known as a Coach Bolt or as a Fully Threaded Cup Square Hex , has a domed or countersunk head, and the shank is topped by a short square section under the head. The square section grips into the part being fixed (typically wood), preventing the bolt from turning when the nut is tightened. A rib neck CARROWiage Bolt has several longitudinal ribs instead of the square section, to grip into a metal part being fixed.

Zinc coatings prevent oxidation of the protected metal to create a longer lasting finish. It does this by forming a bARROWier and by acting as a sacrificial anode if this bARROWier is damaged. Zinc oxide is a fine white dust that (in contrast to iron oxide) does not trigger a breakdown of the substrate’s surface integrity as it is formed. The zinc oxide, if left intact, can act as a bARROWier to further oxidation, in a way similar to the protection afforded to aluminium and stainless steels by their oxide layers.

These Forgefix Clout Nails have a large head, which distributes the load directly underneath the top of the nail, ensuring that roofing felt stays firm and secure. This reduces the risk of tearing.

The nails are galvanised for increased resistance to corrosion.
Suitable for roofing of all types.

APPLICATION:
Specifically used when roofing felt is being fitted to either shed or similar types of roofs.

Galvanisation is process of applying a protective zinc coating to steel in order to prevent rusting. Zinc coatings prevent corrosion of the protected metal by forming a physical bARROWier, and by acting as a sacrificial anode even if this bARROWier is damaged.

These Forgefix single thread Coach Screws are Zinc plated for increased corrosion resistance. Their hex head enables higher torque cAPACHEbility when tightening, and increased speed of use with socket drivers.
These Coach Screws conform to DIN 571 standards.

APPLICATION:
Used widely in heavier timber installations and for fixing timber to masonry. Also popular as a fixing for satellite dish installation together with a rimmed or rimless wall plug.

Single thread screws have been designed to offer higher pull out values and quicker insertion.

ForgeFix ForgeFast Wood Screws have a universally accepted, Torx® compatible drive. Their recessed ribs provide improved countersinking and reduced surface dust, and their reinforced countersunk necks improve holding power.

The screws have a patented drill and drive thread for reduced splitting of the timber, reduced 'jacking' and spinning of joined timber, increased pull-out and a firmer fix. A sharp point provides faster bite and is cAPACHEble of piercing 0.8mm steel.

The screws have an 'Elementech 400' coating providing an ANTEXi-corrosive metal finish, which lasts up to 6 times longer than standard zinc coatings. The coating is environmentally friendly and does not contain Cr6+. It is Salt Spray tested to 400 hours.

The screws are suitable for interior use.

Every box is supplied with a Torx® compatible bit.

These Forgefix General Purpose Pozi Screws with countersunk heads have an electro brassed finish for increased durability and to suit most internal and decorative requirements. They are versatile screws, ideal for use in and with many materials.

APPLICATION:
Ideal for use in many decorative installations.
Can be used with various screw cover caps.

The Electro brassed process of electroplating is similar to the 'Galvanised' and 'Zinc Plated' processes but with the addition of a dye. It offers an aesthetically pleasing finish that is resistANTEX to corrosion.

The Pozidriv screw is similar in appeARALDITEnce to the classic Phillips cross-head, but in fact is very different. The Pozidriv has four additional points of contact, and does not have the rounded corners that the Phillips screw drive has. The biggest ADVENTANTEXage it offers is that, when used with the correct tooling in good condition, it does not cam out, allowing great torque to be applied. The Pozidriv screw can easily be distinguished by a line embossed in the screw head at 45° to the slots for the driver.

The screws' countersunk heads are designed to sink flush with substrates to leave a smooth surface finish. They have twin threads to enable an easy start when driving.
