pgb-Europe has added four different types of ETA certified (ETA – 24/0064) sandwich panel screws to its wide range – each with a unique design depending on the application.
Featuring a 19mm EPDM sealing washer, these screws have self-drilling or self-tapping capabilities and are made of hardened steel with a C3 coating, making them very durable in demanding environments. Each screw is clearly marked with the drill point size, which is related to the drilling capacity of the screws.
The panel screws come in four different types; SWPS-3 – drill point type 3 with a drilling capacity up to 6mm maximum; SWPS-5 – drill point type 5 with a drilling capacity up to 12mm maximum; SWPS-7 – drill point type 7 with a drilling capacity up to 20mm maximum; and the SWPS-C – for applications in wood or concrete with a special point and high-low thread.
pgb-Europe highlights: “An ETA is an important technical document that enables manufacturers to affix CE Marking to innovative construction products that are not covered by a harmonised European Norm (hEN). The CE Marking ensures
that products meet EU safety, health and environmental protection requirements.”
