Meridyen Particle Board Screw 6.0X80 (1,000 Pieces)

Meridyen Chipboard Screw 6.0×80 mm — 1,000 Pieces

The Meridyen 6.0×80 mm Chipboard Screw is a premium heavy‑duty fastener designed to deliver the deepest possible hold in thick structural components, multi‑layer furniture carcasses and load‑bearing timber systems. With an effective length of 80 mm, it passes through multiple thick layers in a single drive; it forms connections that resist heavy loads, permanent movement and loosening year after year. Supplied in a pack of 1,000 pieces, it offers a balanced, practical solution for both large‑scale construction sites and quality furniture workshops.

Technical Specifications

• Brand: Meridyen
• Diameter × Length: 6.0 mm outer diameter, 80 mm working length under the head
• Head Type: Reinforced countersunk head; resists breakage even in hard, thick materials, with an extended seating surface that distributes pressure evenly
• Thread Profile: Deep‑cut, closely spaced teeth; advances without slipping even in dense chipboard and solid timber, gripping firmly at every turn
• Point Form: Long tapered entry tip; aligns accurately on first contact, stays on axis especially during vertical installation
• Surface: Thick zinc coating; full coverage right to thread roots, smooth burr‑free finish
• Pack Contents: 1,000 pieces

Applications

• Multi‑layer panel and beam assemblies with total thickness 50–65 mm
• Base, side and top main connections for large cabinets, wardrobes and storage units
• Thick worktops, tabletops and primary frame assembly for seating groups
• Timber roof trusses, floor beams and major structural joint points
• Wall + panel + cavity + load‑bearing beam through‑fixings; heavy furniture anchoring
• Solid wood door frames, large casings and exterior joinery assemblies
• High‑capacity shelving, brackets and heavy‑duty hanging systems

Product Advantages

• Deepest Available Hold: 80 mm length anchors far deeper than shorter screws; eliminates the risk of layer separation, sag and long‑term bending entirely
• Multi‑Layer Penetration with One Screw: Draws multiple stacked panels, insulation and structural members together in a single pass; removes weak points and labour loss caused by using several short fixings
• Confidence in High‑Density Materials: Reinforced thread form engages a broad surface area even in highly compressed boards; no thread expansion, no loosening over time
• Robust Head Design: Thickened head withstands high torque without breaking; wide seating surface protects the panel face, leaving a flawless finish after filling and coating
• Cost‑Effective, Practical Pack: 1,000 pieces provides ample stock for major projects or continuous production; no over‑capitalisation, easy storage and inventory control
• Stable Vertical Installation: Long tapered tip resists wandering; stays true on ceiling and upright surfaces without curving sideways as it advances
• Long‑Lasting Protection: Premium zinc plating retains its bright, clean appearance for years in dry, well‑ventilated environments

Installation Guidelines

• Maintain perfect 90° alignment; even slight angles multiply driving resistance and can cause the screw path to drift sideways
• Allow a minimum 12–15 mm protrusion through the far side; full visible thread engagement directly determines holding strength
• Edge clearance = minimum 20 mm; particularly critical across the grain or in thick material to prevent splitting
• Drill pilot hole ≈ 60 % of shank diameter; strongly recommended for long screws to minimise breakage risk
• Apply moderate final torque only; stop when the head seats flush — over‑tightening crushes the surface and reduces grip
• Store clear of damp concrete floors; keep on pallets in a dry, ventilated space

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 6.0×80 mm mean and which thicknesses is it best suited for?
6.0 mm is the shank diameter; 80 mm is the effective length measured from beneath the head. It is ideal for total assembly thicknesses of 50–65 mm — perfect for three or four‑layer builds, heavy beam connections or furniture‑through‑wall fixings.

How does 80 mm length make a difference?
Shorter screws grip only the top layer; at 80 mm this passes fully through and locks deep into the lowest structural core. Joints do not separate, sag or loosen under load, vibration or years of use.

Can this screw be used outdoors?
It is manufactured for interior use. Continuous exposure to rain, moisture or direct sunlight may lead to rusting over time. For exterior applications, select stainless steel or extra‑coated variants.
