These Spin Bar Coach Screws feature a Tapered tip, Hexhead construction and Zinc plating making for a quick installation of the Peppertown Turn Bar or Gymnastic Bars. Measures 70mm x 8mm. See below for some tips:
Timber: All coach screws require a pilot hole, using a general purpose drill bit such as a Twist Drill Bit, before they are screwed into place, preventing the wood from splitting. You will need to use a wood drill bit to drill the pilot hole. They are slightly different to metal drill bits as they have a point on the end to stop them slipping out of position. As a rule of thumb, the pilot hole diameter needs to be half the diameter of the coach screw when using softwood and three quarters when using hardwood. So for example when using an 8mm coach screw the pilot hole needs to be 4mm for softwood and 6mm for hardwood. Once the pilot hole has been drilled, the coach screw can be driven directly into the wood. When using coach screws on timber it is advisable to use a washer to avoid embedding the screw head into the wood on impact. This will also make it easier to remove the screw at any point. Another option is to use a flanged coach screw, this is a coach screw with an integrated washer built into the head.
Masonry: If you are using a coach screw to fix heavy objects to masonry or brickwork you will need to drill a hole, using an SDS Drill Bit. To ensure that any heavy object that will be fixed to the wall is secure, it is essential to use a wall plug with the coach screw. The wall plug will need to be the same size in diameter and depth as the hole you have drilled.
Important information
When tightening or loosening a coach screw it is important to use the correct size spanner, wrench or impacts socket to avoid damaging the head of the screw. The size you require can be determined by measuring across the flat edges of the head and not point to point.
