Product Overview
13mm Wafer Head Self Drilling Drywall Screws designed for fixing drywall tracking and metal components to light-gauge steel frameworks.
Each screw is manufactured from hardened carbon steel and finished with a protective black phosphate coating that provides light corrosion resistance and a clean, low-glare surface.
The wafer head delivers a broad bearing area that distributes pressure evenly, minimising surface deformation and providing secure seating against thin metal sections.
An integrated self-drilling point eliminates the need for pilot drilling, enabling quick, consistent fastening through steel up to 2.0mm thick. The fully threaded shank ensures firm engagement and stable fixing across contact surfaces.
13mm compact fixings designed for precision work in drywall framing, partitions, and metal-to-metal connections.
Features & Benefits
- Material: Hardened carbon steel provides strength and consistent driving performance.
- Corrosion resistance: Black phosphate coating resists oxidation in dry interior conditions.
- Head design: Wafer head offers a large bearing surface for secure clamping without damaging thin sheet metal.
- Drill point: Integrated self-drilling tip removes the need for pre-drilling, improving installation speed.
- Thread type: Fully threaded design ensures positive grip and structural stability.
- Drive type: Phillips drive enables fast and controlled installation using standard driver bits.
- Nominal size: 13mm length.
- Box quantity: Supplied in a box of 1000 for efficient coverage of large projects.
Applications
- Drywall to metal framework: Secure fixing of track and channel sections in steel stud systems.
- Partition walls and ceilings: Fast attachment of framework components in interior builds.
- Commercial and residential construction: Suitable for light structural and fit-out applications.
- Metal-to-metal fixing: Ideal for joining thin-gauge steel where pre-drilling is impractical.
Installation Guidance
- Drive type: Use a Phillips No.2 bit for stable engagement and reduced cam-out.
- Speed setting: Drive at medium to high speed for effective self-drilling into steel.
- Pressure control: Apply steady pressure to maintain clean drilling action without stripping threads.
- Depth setting: Seat the wafer head flush to the metal surface without over-tightening.
Compliance & Performance
- Manufacturing reference: Produced in accordance with EN 14566 for mechanical fasteners for gypsum plasterboard systems.
- Finish: Black phosphate coating suitable for interior, dry conditions.
- Performance: Self-drilling tip capable of penetrating steel sections up to 2.0mm thickness.
- Safety: Always wear eye protection and ensure material stability during installation.
- Important note: Not suitable for exterior or high-moisture environments.
