40mm x 4.0mm Black Rainwater Screws Low-Profile PZ Pan Head – Pack of 300
Corrosion-Resistant Screws for Guttering & Rainwater Systems
The 40mm x 4.0mm Black Rainwater Screws are specifically designed for securing brackets, clips and fittings during the installation of PVCu guttering, downpipes and rainwater systems. Featuring a discreet black finish and low-profile pan head, these screws provide a strong, neat fixing that blends well with black rainwater components.
The 40° deep single thread provides excellent grip and high pull-out resistance, helping create a secure and dependable fixing. A single slash in the screw helps reduce insertion torque and lowers the risk of timber splitting, particularly when fixing close to the edge of the material.
For long-lasting exterior performance, the screws feature a corrosion-resistant coating tested to withstand up to 1,000 hours of salt spray, making them ideally suited to exposed roofline and rainwater applications.
