Ruwag Chipboard Screw Yellow Passivated 5x40mm (400) is a pack of 400 yellow passivated screws designed specifically for use with chipboard. These screws provide reliable fastening for wood-based materials, commonly used in furniture assembly, cabinetry, and other woodworking projects. The 5x40mm size indicates a diameter of 5mm and a length of 40mm, suitable for medium-thickness chipboard panels.

This type of screw is characterised by its yellow passivated finish, which offers a degree of corrosion resistance, helping protect against rust and extending the lifespan of the fixings when used in indoor environments. Buyers should compare these screws to the old screws they have by size and finish to ensure compatibility with their materials and environment.

When selecting screws for chipboard, checking the length and diameter is essential to ensure a secure hold without damaging the material. The 5x40mm size is typical for many chipboard applications but always verify that this dimension matches your replacement requirements. The pack quantity of 400 makes it ideal for larger projects or keeping a good stock for ongoing repairs.

  • Yellow passivated finish for corrosion resistance
  • Size: 5mm diameter, 40mm length
  • Pack contains 400 screws

If unsure about the specific screw size or finish needed, contacting the Sales Desk or submitting a Request a Part can help confirm the best choice for your project or repair.

Helpful product answers
What are the key features of the Ruwag Chipboard Screw Yellow Passivated 5x40mm (400)?
These screws are specifically designed for chipboard applications, featuring a yellow passivated coating that provides corrosion resistance. The 5x40mm size is ideal for securing medium-thickness boards. The pack contains 400 screws, making it suitable for larger projects or professional use.
Can I use these screws for outdoor projects?
The yellow passivated coating offers some corrosion resistance, but these screws are primarily intended for indoor use with chipboard. For outdoor applications, it's better to use screws specifically rated for exterior conditions to avoid rust and degradation over time.
What is the correct way to install Ruwag Chipboard Screws to avoid splitting the board?
A common mistake is driving the screw too quickly or without pre-drilling, which can split the chipboard. To prevent this, pre-drill a pilot hole slightly smaller than the screw diameter and drive the screw in slowly with consistent pressure. This ensures a secure hold without damaging the material.
Are these screws compatible with power drills?
Yes, these chipboard screws can be used with power drills fitted with the appropriate screwdriver bit. Using a drill with adjustable torque settings is recommended to avoid over-tightening, which can strip the screw head or damage the chipboard.
