Heco Topix Countersunk TX25 A2 Stainless 6.0 x 100mm

The HECO-TOPIX is a specialist timber screw designed for efficient and reliable fixing in timber construction and woodworking applications.

Key features include:

• HECO-TOPIX tip: designed to penetrate timber efficiently, helping to reduce splitting and allowing reduced edge and centre distances.
• Countersunk head: provides a neat, flush finish when correctly installed.
• TX25 drive: provides positive engagement and effective torque transfer during installation.
• A2 stainless steel: provides good corrosion resistance for internal and external applications.
• Specialist thread geometry: designed to support efficient installation and reliable holding performance.
• Structural application: suitable for a wide range of professional timber construction and woodworking applications.

HECO-TOPIX screws are suitable for a wide range of timber construction, carpentry and woodworking applications.

Typical applications include:

• Structural timber construction
• Oak sleeper and landscaping projects
• Staircase construction
• Interior timber construction and finishing
• Timber framing and general carpentry
• On-rafter insulation applications
• Facade attachment and timber cladding
• General woodworking and joinery

The appropriate screw diameter and length should be selected according to the timber species, connection design, required penetration and expected loads.

• European Technical Assessment: HECO-TOPIX structural timber screws are covered by applicable European Technical Assessment documentation.
• Material: A2 stainless steel.
• Drive: TX25 internal six-lobe drive.
• Head type: Countersunk head.

For structural applications, the appropriate HECO technical documentation and project or construction specification should be followed. Always confirm the required dimensions, material grade and performance requirements for the intended application.

Is this HECO-TOPIX screw suitable for outdoor use?

Yes. This HECO-TOPIX screw is manufactured from A2 stainless steel, providing good corrosion resistance for internal and external timber applications. It is suitable for many outdoor applications where A2 stainless steel is appropriate, including landscaping, timber construction, cladding and general external woodworking.

What drive bit does the HECO-TOPIX 6 x 100mm screw use?

This screw uses a TX25 internal six-lobe drive. A suitable TX25 bit should be used during installation to provide positive engagement and effective torque transfer.

What is the HECO-TOPIX 6 x 100mm screw used for?

The HECO-TOPIX 6 x 100mm screw is designed for timber construction and woodworking applications. Typical uses include structural timber connections, timber framing, staircase construction, landscaping, timber cladding, facade attachment and general carpentry.

Does this screw need a pilot hole?

Pre-drilling is not normally required in many timber applications because of the screw's specialised tip and thread design. However, pre-drilling may be appropriate depending on the timber species, screw position, edge distance and the requirements of the particular installation.

What is the difference between A2 and A4 stainless steel screws?

A2 stainless steel provides good corrosion resistance for many internal and external applications. A4 stainless steel offers a higher level of corrosion resistance and is generally selected for more demanding environments, including applications exposed to higher levels of salt or aggressive atmospheric conditions. The appropriate stainless steel grade should be selected according to the environment and application.
