The ForgeFix ForgeFast FFCS8260 is an 8 x 260mm wafer head construction screw with a TORX T40 drive, supplied in a tub of 25. At 260mm, this is one of the longer screws in the ForgeFast construction range and is designed for deep structural connections through multiple timber members, thick engineered sections and applications where a long reach is needed to develop adequate thread engagement in the receiving timber.

Common applications include fixing doubled-up rafters, connecting post-to-beam joints in green oak framing, securing structural brackets through thick packing, and anchoring timber to timber in roof, floor and wall framing. The wafer head sits close to the timber surface without countersinking, spreading clamping load across a wider bearing area than a standard countersunk screw.

The Elementech 2000 tan coating provides corrosion resistance for treated timber and semi-exposed conditions. The TORX T40 drive handles the high driving torque required at this length without cam-out. A Type 17 auger tip and coarse thread engage the timber cleanly without pre-drilling in softwood. Pre-drilling is essential in hardwood, engineered timber and near member ends to prevent splitting.
