Screw Cimco 190051 — galvanized metal, for fibreboard, 30 mm length, 5 mm thread diameter, 1 pc

Single Cimco 190051 screw made of galvanized metal, designed for use in fibreboard and similar engineered wood. The screw is 30 mm long with a 5 mm thread diameter and is supplied as one piece per pack. Its galvanized surface increases corrosion resistance and provides a durable mechanical connection for furniture assembly, repair jobs and light joinery where a reliable fix in fibreboard is required.

Advantages

The galvanized finish reduces the risk of rust and discoloration when used in indoor environments. The 5 mm thread diameter combined with the 30 mm length offers adequate holding power in medium-density fibreboard without excessive splitting. Supplied as a single unit, this screw allows for replacement or targeted repairs without purchasing larger quantities. The metal composition ensures consistent thread strength and dimensional stability during installation.

Key specifications

How to use

Pre-drill a pilot hole appropriate for a 5 mm thread diameter to reduce splitting in fibreboard; the pilot hole diameter should match the substrate density and the screw type. Position the screw perpendicular to the panel surface and drive it slowly with a suitable screwdriver or a low-speed drill driver until the head is flush or slightly recessed as required. Avoid over-tightening to prevent crushing of the fibreboard and loss of holding power.

Recommendations

For best results in medium-density fibreboard, use a pilot hole and set the torque of the driver to a moderate level. Store the screw in a dry environment to maintain its galvanized coating. Use this screw for indoor applications or where moderate corrosion resistance is sufficient; for outdoor or high-humidity environments consider fasteners specifically rated for exterior exposure.
