Zinc plated coach screws in packs of 10.
UK delivery from £30. Fittings are despatched boxed. See delivery rates.
The coach screw is a heavy-duty zinc-plated wood screw used to fix cast iron downpipe strap brackets and holderbats to timber — typically to rafter feet, roof boarding, timber-framed walls, or wooden soffits where a standard masonry fixing is not available or appropriate. The coarse thread and hexagonal head of the coach screw provide high pull-out resistance in timber and allow the fixing to be driven and tightened with a spanner or socket wrench rather than a screwdriver.
Supplied in packs of 10. Zinc-plated for outdoor corrosion resistance. Appropriate for use with cast iron downpipe brackets on period buildings where timber construction is the available fixing substrate. For specification support, call 0333 987 4452.
