Key things to remember
The essentials from this document in plain words. Check the full document before you rely on a figure.
- For plasterboard into steel frame, timber to metal fixing, and light gauge steel frame up to 3mm.
- Four ribs under the bugle head help countersink the screw into the material.
- Hardened C1022 steel, Class 3 finish. 14 gauge x 10 TPI, 14mm head, internal hex drive with a 5mm bit (TXDIIHXS50025).
- Three lengths: 50mm (packs of 500), 75mm and 100mm (packs of 250).
- Working pull-out load in purlin: 350N in 0.8mm G2, 1,700N in 1.5mm G550, 2,950N in 2.5mm G450 and 3,000N in 3.0mm G2.
- All pull-out figures are from laboratory tests on Hobson's DRiLLX screws; the working loads already include a factor of safety of 2.5 for steel.
- Install with a cordless screwdriver at 2,200 to 3,000 RPM, keep firm, steady pressure while it drills, and do not overtighten. Impact drivers are not recommended.
