Coach Screws - BZP

Using Coach Screws

When drilling into wood a drilling a pilot hole is required to prevent splitting. In softwoods the diameter of the pilot hole should be half the diameter of the fixing, i.e. drill a 4mm hole for an 8mm coach screw.

When working with hardwoods, the pilot hole should be ¾ of the size of the fixing.

When fastening to masonry using a coach screw a nylon wall plug is needed.
Our coach screws are available in Bright Zinc Plated (BZP) and A2 Stainless Steel finishes.

A BZP or bright zinc plated fastener is one which has a thin coating of zinc added during production. This protective coating adds durability by protecting the product against rust or oxidisation.
