S-97498A182 M12 x 160 mm DIN 571 Wood Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Enhanced corrosion resistance with zinc-plated steel construction for long-lasting performance in demanding wood applications.
• Superior holding power achieved through the thread-forming design, which creates strong, secure threads in wood without pre-drilling.
• Optimized load distribution and reduced wood splitting thanks to the partially threaded shank design.
• High-torque installation capability with the external hex drive and hex head for secure, efficient driving with standard tools.
• Reliable dimensional consistency ensured by compliance with the DIN 571 standard for wood screws.
• Secure fastening in heavy timber and construction due to the substantial M12 thread size and 160mm length.
• Safe for use in regulated environments as it is RoHS 3 and REACH compliant, meeting strict environmental and safety standards.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This heavy-duty M12 wood screw is engineered to solve critical fastening challenges in wood construction and timber framing. The zinc-plated steel material provides a robust barrier against rust, significantly extending service life in both indoor and semi-protected outdoor settings. Its thread-forming design is a key engineering advantage, as it displaces wood fibers to create a tighter, more durable thread that resists pull-out and loosening under dynamic loads, eliminating the need for precise pre-tapping. The partially threaded section concentrates the clamping force, preventing stress concentration and minimizing the risk of wood splitting in hardwoods and engineered lumber. The combination of a large M12 x 5mm pitch thread and a substantial 160mm length ensures deep penetration and a massive shear plane, making it an ideal heavy-duty wood fastener for structural connections, deck posts, and timber bridges.

Specification Summary & Compliance
