• Safe for users and the environment with full RoHS 3 and REACH compliance, ensuring no hazardous substances

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This M16 wood screw is engineered for heavy-duty timber construction and structural woodworking applications where failure is not an option. The zinc-plated steel construction provides a robust barrier against rust and corrosion, essential for both indoor and outdoor projects. Its thread-forming design is particularly valuable as it displaces wood material to create stronger, more resilient internal threads without pre-drilling in many softwoods, significantly reducing assembly time and labor costs. The partially threaded shank and right-hand thread work in concert to pull materials tightly together, preventing joint loosening from vibration or wood movement. The external hex drive allows for high-torque installation with standard tools, making it ideal for framing, decking, and other critical wood connections that demand long-term reliability and sheer strength.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This screw features an M16 thread size with a 6mm pitch and a minimum thread length of 48mm on an overall 80mm length. Manufactured to meet the dimensional and mechanical specifications of DIN 571. The product is fully compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, confirming its environmental safety and restriction of hazardous substances.
