What is a Type 17 timber screw?

A Type 17 timber screw features a self-drilling, sharp point and coarse thread that is capable of cutting into timber without pre-drilling. This makes it best suited to fixing timber to timber or brackets to timber.

Can Type 17 screws be used outdoors?

Yes. Most timber screws in Allcon's range are coated with excellent corrosion-resistant coatings that make them ideal for use both indoors and outdoors.

Do I need to pre-drill before using Type 17 screws?

Generally, no pre-drilling is necessary due to the self-drilling tip. However, for extremely hard hardwoods, a slight pilot hole will enhance control and minimise splitting.

Are Type 17 screws suitable for hardwood?

Yes. These hardwood screws are specifically designed for dense timber. The sharp cutting point and thread pattern make insertion smooth and secure, even in tough materials.

Are your screws compliant with Australian Standards?

Yes. Allcon’s screws comply with or exceed AS/NZS 2327 and related fastener performance standards, providing compliance and consistency with all building applications.
