Product Description
The TIMCO Solo 5.0 × 40mm is a general-purpose wood and chipboard screw for trade stock where a mid-length fixing covers most on-site timber jobs. It suits fit-outs, shop-fitting and general carpentry across retail premises, offices, warehouses and residential blocks.
Key specs
- Size: 5.0 × 40mm (diameter × length)
- Head: Countersunk, for a flush finish in the material surface
- Drive: PZ2 Pozi, for improved torque control and reduced cam-out
- Finish: Yellow zinc plated steel, for corrosion resistance
- Material use: Timber, chipboard and other wood-based boards
Where it fits a job
This length works for fixing timber boards, assembling wooden structures and installing fixtures where a stronger, thicker screw is needed for medium-depth timber fixings. Installers running mixed carpentry and joinery work typically keep this alongside shorter Solo lengths so the right screw is on hand for panel thickness and fixture depth without over-driving into the substrate.
Procurement notes
The PZ2 drive is worth confirming against the driver bits or bit sets already carried on a job, since mismatched drive types slow down first-fix and second-fix work. The countersunk head means no additional recessing step is needed before finishing.
