Product Description
This is a 3.5 × 45mm TIMCO Velocity wood screw with a countersunk head, Pozi drive and yellow zinc plated finish — a fixing most installers will already recognise from mounting brackets, back-boxes and enclosures on timber-based surfaces.
Where it fits on a CCTV job
CCTV work isn't just cameras and cable — brackets, junction boxes and DVR/NVR enclosures often need fixing to timber battens, joists, fascias or chipboard backing panels before the electronics go on. This screw handles that supporting fixing work.
- Countersunk head sits flush, useful where a bracket plate or enclosure needs to sit tight against timber without the screw head standing proud.
- Pozi drive recess gives better driver engagement, which matters when working overhead or in tight loft/ceiling void access during an install.
- Yellow zinc plated steel offers corrosion resistance suited to interior fixing.
- 45mm length suits medium-depth fixing into timber and chipboard — shorter than the 50mm option where board thickness or joist depth doesn't need the extra reach.
Practical notes for buyers
This is a general fixing screw for timber and chipboard, not a masonry or external fixing — pair it with appropriate wall plugs or fixings if the substrate changes partway through a run. Keep a mixed stock of 45mm and 50mm lengths on the van so the right depth is on hand without over-driving into thin backing boards.

Frequently Asked Questions
What materials is this screw designed for?
Timber, chipboard and general construction materials, not masonry or external fixings.
Why choose the 45mm length over 50mm?
The 45mm length suits medium-depth fixing where the full 50mm isn't needed, such as thinner boards or shallower joists.
Does the yellow zinc finish suit outdoor use?
The source describes the finish as corrosion resistant for interior construction and installation work, so it's best kept to indoor fixing tasks.
What drive type does this screw use?
A Pozi drive recess, which improves driver engagement and helps reduce cam-out during installation.
