EUROTEC Screws | 8mm T40 KonstruX ST Screws Countersunk Head with Full Thread in Steel Blue Galvanised

APPLICATION

Applications in timber engineering and carpentry, timber-frame construction, hall construction, construction of timber elements, renovation of ceilings, etc. 

Doubling up of joists, for example, increases the load-bearing capacity off joists and reduces bending. Here, KonstruX fully threaded screws join the components together in a displacement-resistant manner. 

Hidden connections, high fire-resistance, no thermal bridges 

ADVANTAGES

Time saving - and cost-saving alternative to traditional connections or timber joints such as joist hangers, joist supports, etc. 

Timber has a low transverse compressive and shear strength. KonstruX fully threaded screws are inserted into the timber for reinforcement. The KonstruX “takes on” a large proportion of the forces. 

BENEFITS

No pilot-drilling required in accordance with approval/ETA From screw lengths ≥ 245 mm, however, pilot-drilling to 1/3 of the screw length is advisable to guide the screw in the right direction (no screw wandering). 

The required edge and centre distances can be minimised for screws that are only exposed to tension.

ST Drill Tip

Reduced screwing torque

High extraction resistance
