Screw cimco 190015 for fibreboard, galvanized metal, 20 mm length, 3.5 mm thread diameter, 1 pc

The cimco 190015 screw for fibreboard is a single galvanized metal fastener with a 20 mm overall length and a 3.5 mm thread diameter. Designed specifically for use in chipboard, MDF and similar engineered wood panels, this screw provides a compact solution for light assembly and fixing tasks in furniture construction and interior fittings. The zinc-coated surface improves corrosion resistance, making it suitable for indoor environments where occasional exposure to humidity may occur.

Advantages

The galvanized finish reduces the risk of rust and extends service life when used in typical indoor conditions. The 20 mm length and 3.5 mm thread diameter offer stable engagement in fibreboard without excessive splitting or surface damage. Supplied individually, this screw allows precise replacement or single-item use for repair and adjustment tasks. The standardized thread profile ensures compatibility with manual or power screwdrivers and common pilot-drilling practices for engineered wood.

Key specifications

How to use

For reliable results, pre-drill a pilot hole in the fibreboard using a drill bit slightly smaller than the screw's core diameter to reduce splitting and ensure straight insertion. Use a manual screwdriver or a low-torque power driver set to an appropriate torque to avoid overdriving and crushing the board. Drive the screw until the head is flush with or slightly below the surface, depending on whether a countersink is required for the specific fitting. When joining thin panels, consider using glue or additional reinforcement to increase long-term joint strength.

Recommendations

Store in a dry place to preserve the galvanized coating. For exterior or high-humidity applications, choose a stainless-steel or specially coated fastener. When working with very thin or brittle panels, always test a trial insertion to verify holding power and adjust pilot-hole diameter or torque accordingly.
