The ForgeFix ForgeFast FFCS8240 is an 8 x 240mm wafer head construction screw with a TORX T40 drive, supplied in a tub of 30. Built for deep structural timber connections where standard length screws cannot achieve adequate penetration, these are used for post-to-beam joints, multi-ply laminated members, rafter-to-ridge fixings and heavy-duty structural brackets.

The 240mm length provides significant thread engagement in the receiving timber, developing strong pull-out and shear resistance across load-bearing joints. The wafer head sits close to the timber surface without countersinking, distributing clamping force over a wider area than countersunk heads. This is an advantage in structural applications where the screw head needs to bear against the timber surface without pulling through.

The Elementech 2000 tan coating provides corrosion resistance for treated timber and semi-exposed exterior conditions. The TORX T40 drive is essential at this length, where driving torque is substantial and any cam-out wastes time and damages the recess. A Type 17 auger tip cuts cleanly into softwood without pre-drilling. Pre-drilling is recommended in hardwood, engineered timber and near member ends.
