Screw Fischer 563537 65 mm Metal 50 pcs

The fischer FID-Z self-drilling insulation metal screw (Fischer 563537, 65 mm) is designed for fastening thin metal sheets and flashings directly to ETICS façades made of polystyrene, mineral wool, wood fibre or polyurethane insulation boards. The screw combines a self-drilling tip and a sealing washer to enable secure attachment on plastered external thermal insulation composite systems.

Advantages

The special tip geometry allows direct mounting of thin metal sheets without pre-drilling, saving installation time. The sealing disc beneath the head prevents water ingress into the façade and reduces risk of structural damage. An optimized thread geometry ensures uniform screw insertion and a clean, even setting result.

Suitable for

• Fixing thin metal sheets and flashings to ETICS (external thermal insulation composite systems)
• Applications on polystyrene, mineral wool, wood fibre and polyurethane insulation boards
• General use on fibreboard, plasterboard and wood where a 65 mm metal screw is appropriate

How to use

Place the thin metal sheet or flashing over the intended spot on the ETICS façade. Position the fischer FID-Z screw and drive it with an appropriate screwdriver or drill; the special tip will drill through the metal sheet directly into the insulation backing without pre-drilling. Tighten until the sealing washer is compressed against the attachment to create a weather-resistant seal, taking care not to over-torque and damage the insulation board.

Recommendations

For reliable results, choose screw spacing and embedment depth according to the insulation type and local regulations. Use a controlled torque setting to avoid crushing lightweight insulation; for thin metal sheets, ensure the screw length (65 mm) provides sufficient penetration into the insulation substrate. Store screws dry and protected from corrosion.
