EUROTEC Screws | KONSTRUX ST 8.5mm Silver Zinc Countersunk Screws with T40 and Full Thread
The EUROTEC 8mm T40 KonstruX ST Screws designed to optimize load transmission in structural applications. These fully threaded screws maximize a joint's load-bearing capacity, providing high thread-extraction resistance in both components.

Description
Maximum load transmission KonstruX fully threaded screws maximise a joint‘s load-bearing capacity with a high thread-extraction resistance in both components. If partially threaded screws are used, the joint‘s load-bearing capacity is limited by the considerably lower head pull-through resistance in the attached part.
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.
