Tongue-Tite Plus Tri-Lock Tongue and Groove Screw 3.5 x 32mm Star Drive A2 Stainless Steel Pack of 200

Tongue-Tite Plus screws are made from 305 stainless steel making them ideal for external applications such as timber cladding, decking and fencing.
The small countersunk head offer a hidden finish and can be used with floorboards, timber cladding, hardwood, softwood, pressure treated timber and decking.
The single coarse thread pulls boards tightly without splitting the timber due to the unique tri-lock thread. The twin thread tip gives immediate start and balanced drive.

Tongue-Tite screws are easily removed, unlike nails or adhesives.
No pilot hole necessary.
Clamps the timber securely without splitting the timber.
Once driven in will stay in - no squeaky boards.
Torx drive for positive grip without slipping, 2 driver bits included in each box.
Stainless steel protects against corrosion in tough outdoor environments.

Common Uses
The real benefit of Tongue-Tite screws is that the head is so small it is hardly visible which makes it an ideal choice for projects such as:
•    Tongue and groove flooring
•    Timber cladding
•    Decking
•    Fencing
•    Landscape projects
•    Slatwall panels
•    Trims

Installation
It is recommended to insert the screw at an angle of 30-45 degrees to the exposed face on the tongue side and start where the tongue and face intersect. This will drive the screw through the board and out into the substrate.
Make sure the head of the screw sits beneath the tongue so that it does not interfere with the next board.
For a secure fix it is advised to insert a screw every 300mm (minimum).
If inserting a screw 50mm from the end of the board, we recommend that you pre-drill to eliminate splitting.
