Selection Factors

  • Screw type and thread for the board material
  • Head type and drive (Pozi, Torx, hex socket)
  • Length and diameter for the joint
  • Board material: MDF, particle board, or plywood
  • Pre-drilling and pilot-hole requirement
  • Pull-out resistance and joint strength

Installation Notes

Pre-drill the recommended pilot in MDF and particle board to prevent splitting, then drive to flush without over-torquing. Use the correct bit to avoid cam-out on high-volume lines.
