  • Hex Coach Screws are a heavy duty screw used to fix wood to wood or metal to wood. They are designed with a hexagonal head and, therefore, require a wrench or socket spanner to be tightened or unscrewed. The screws have broad heads, preventing them from pulling into the wood and enabling them to compress the substrates together, making them a good choice for joints that see heavy use. Coach screws can also be used in conjunction with wall plugs for anchoring heavy objects, such as TV arm or satellite dishes, into masonry or concrete. It is, however, important to note that Coach Screws should never be over tightened as this could cause the screw to break off
  • Thread Lengths * = Measurements provided are the MIN thread length and are provided to be used as a GUIDE only. They do vary between brands and batches and your delivery may be shipped with 2 thread lengths. If thread length is critical, please contact us prior to ordering and we will check the stock
  • Pilot holes = All Coach Screws require a pilot hole before they're screwed into place, no matter what type of wood you are working with. Drill the pilot hole 2mm smaller than the size coach screw being used.
  • Material / Coating: Galvanised is a dull greyish colour and can be a little rough in appearance and is mainly used outdoors because of its superior corrosion resistance and proven longevity. Also known as HDG, it is one of the best coatings for protection against rust. Galvanised fasteners have been used across many industries in Australia for over 150 years, roofing, steel buildings, trailers, bridges, fencing, power poles, marina’s, are just a few examples. Recently we have seen a lot of new coatings developed, terms like class 3, class 4, B8, climseal, mechanical galvanised and ruspert are all variations of the original galvanising
  • Grade v Class Difference: Imperial fastenings are referred to as grades, and metric fastenings are referred to as classes. Both have marking systems that make it possible to determine grade and class. An example is a ½” UNC bolt with 5 lines on the head is grade 8 and 3 lines is grade 5, both are regarded as high tensile. Metric bolts are slightly different, if it has 4.6 then it is mild steel and 8.8 is high tensile. The markings on a stainless fastener indicate the grade of material and strength, e.g. material G304 grade will have one of the following markings: A2-70, G304, A2, 304 and G316 grade stainless will have one of the following: A4-70, G316, A4, 316
  • Fastener Length: Is generally measured from the point where the surface of the material will be when the fastener is installed to the end of the fastener. Thus, fasteners with heads that sit above the surface are measured from under the head to the end of the fastener, while fasteners that sit flush with the surface are measured from the top of the head to the end of the fastener
