The truncated-cone shape and the increased thickness of the head make it possible to fasten metal plates securely to wood. Its longer thread ensures an excellent shear and tensile strength values. Its truncated-cone under-head achieves an interlocking effect with the circular hole in the plate, guaranteeing excellent static performance.

Coming in carbon steel with bright zinc plating, it is excellent for use with wood-based panels, solid timber, glulam, CLT, LVL and high-density woods.
