Blackhawk Batten Screws
A Blackhawk batten screw is heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant screw designed for attaching timber battens, typically featuring a "bugle" head with a large bearing surface, a 14 gauge (thick) shank, and a Type 17 point. Thus, Blackhawk screws are suitable for tough applications and provide strong holding power in various wood types. Blackhawk Fasteners (a part of the ITI group of companies) are known for their high-quality finish and corrosion resistance.
Key points about Blackhawk batten screws:
- Head type: Bugle head, which helps prevent wood splitting when driving the screw.
- Gauge: Usually 14 gauge (thick) for high strength.
- Drive type: Typically a 5mm internal hex drive (T17).
-
Finish: Three options for corrosion resistance:
- Galvanised
- "PRO" - Blackhawk Protect - superior protection versus galvanised
- Stainless Steel 304
- Applications: Ideal for attaching timber battens to walls, ceilings, or other structures.
