40mm x 4.0mm White Rainwater Screws Low-Profile PZ Pan Head – Pack of 300
Corrosion-Resistant Screws for Guttering & Rainwater Systems
The 40mm x 4.0mm White Rainwater Screws are specifically designed for securing brackets, clips and fittings during the installation of PVCu guttering, downpipes and rainwater systems. Featuring a clean white finish and low-profile pan head, these screws provide a strong, neat fixing that blends discreetly with white rainwater and roofline components.
The 40° deep single thread provides excellent grip and high pull-out resistance, helping to create a secure and dependable fixing. A single slash in the screw helps reduce insertion torque and lowers the likelihood of timber splitting, particularly when the screw is positioned close to the edge of the material.
Designed for exterior applications, the screws feature a corrosion-resistant coating tested to withstand up to 1,000 hours of salt spray. This added protection makes them particularly suitable for guttering and rainwater installations where fixings are regularly exposed to changing weather conditions.
