Wood Chipboard Screw 3.5x18 1000 Pieces

Meridyen Chipboard Screw 3.5×18 mm — 1000 Pieces

Meridyen 3.5×18 mm Chipboard Screw is a standard fastener offering the ideal solution for joining small components, fitting furniture hardware, and installing trim, skirting boards, and thin panels. Its short length prevents breakthrough through thin materials and removes the need for deep countersinking. With a sharp point and fine‑thread design, it drives quickly into chipboard, MDF, and softwoods without pre‑drilling. Supplied in a large pack of 1000 — an economical stock solution for serial production, workshops, and continuous use.

Application Guidelines

• Use a PZ1 Pozidriv bit; an ill‑fitting driver will damage the head
• Drive the screw at a true right angle; angled entry reduces holding power
• Ensure material thickness exceeds screw length by at least 2–3 mm to prevent breakthrough
• Drill a small pilot hole in dense hardwood to minimise breakage risk
• Reduce torque as the screw seats fully to avoid splitting the surface
• Select stainless steel variants for permanent outdoor exposure
• Store in dry conditions; keep the container sealed once opened
