Estimated lead times
2-3 Days
TapFast® stainless steel self-tapping fasteners are used to
fix to heavy steel purlins in corrosive environments such as swimming pools, tunnels,
industrial plants, and marine areas.
Self tapping with 'B' point - requires pre-drilling (see specification details)
- Manufactured from 1.4529-grade stainless steel with high 6-7% molybdenum content for high corrosion resistance
- Proven resistance against stress corrosion cracking
- Technical design advice available
- Approved material in accordance with BS EN ISO 3506-4:2009 Annex C
- Specifically designed for use in safety critical structural applications
- For mechanically fixing steel sheeting systems to heavy steel purlins and sections
- For use in high humidity and aggressively corrosive environments such as swimming pools, tunnelling, industrial plants and marine areas

Interior | Semi-interior | Rural | Urban | Industrial / Coastal | Marine | Swimming pools & Chemical plants | |
Corrosivity Category | C1 | - | C2 | C3 | C4 | C5 | - |
HCR Austenitic Stainless Grade 1.4529 | 40 | 40 | 40 | 40 | 35 | 25 | 20 |
Installation tool | Variable speed electric screw gun |
Installation drive | Fixfast GreenDrive (8mm hex integral socket with retaining clip) |
Installation speed | 1500 RPM |
Correct installation | Fasteners should be driven within three degrees of perpendicular to the surface of the fastened material. Use a depth-setting nosepiece to avoid over-driving, and do not over-tighten. Variants with bonded washers should not have the rubber compressed to less than two-thirds of its uncompressed height. Care should be taken when engaging and disengaging from the fastener head to avoid damage to the protective coating. |
Handling | Fasteners may have sharp edges, and the use of power tools can be dangerous. Use personal protective equipment. Store fasteners in dry conditions. Inspect each fastener before use and do not use damaged fasteners. |
