Description

These Fortress 14 g Bugle Head Batten Screws (50 mm, galvanised, pack of 25) are self-drilling fasteners engineered for securing timber battens and subflooring. Featuring a bugle head and Type 17 point, they drive flush into timber, reducing splitting and providing a smooth finish. The internal hex (approx. 5 mm) allows for precise driving, and the galvanised coating offers light corrosion protection for indoor and limited outdoor applications. Designed for manual or power-driven use but supplied loose in a jar format.

Features and Benefits:

• Bugle head design embeds into timber neatly for a flush finish and distributes load effectively
• Type 17 point allows self-drilling into hardwood and softwood without predrilling
• Internal hex drive (approx. 5 mm) delivers strong torque and prevents cam‑out
• Galvanised finish (yellow zinc) provides light corrosion protection—suitable for indoor or sheltered applications
• 14 g thickness and 50 mm length are ideal for fixing timber battens, subflooring, and light landscaping tasks
