Esdec Self-Tapping Sheet Metal Screw 6.0x25mm: Reliable Fixing into Metal Structures

Achieve a strong and efficient connection when fixing Esdec mounting components to sheet metal structures, such as steel purlins or certain metal roofing profiles, using this specialised 6.0 x 25mm Self-Tapping Screw. This fastener is often specified for securing base components like the ClickFit Evo Corrugated Mounting Bracket or potentially profiles in the ClickFit Evo metal roof system. Employing the correct, high-quality fasteners is fundamental to the safety and longevity of your solar panel installation, ensuring it performs reliably to help manage your energy costs.

Efficient Self-Tapping Design

This screw is engineered specifically for fastening into metal:

• Self-Tapping Point: Features a hardened point and thread designed to cut its own path into appropriately gauged sheet metal, often eliminating the need for pre-drilling (check Esdec guidelines for material thickness limits).
• Optimised Thread: Provides strong thread engagement in metal for high pull-out resistance.
• Specific Size: The 6.0mm diameter and 25mm length are specified for particular Esdec component connections, ensuring correct embedment depth and clamping force.

Versatile Drive Head & Durable Material

Designed for practicality and longevity on site:

• Dual Drive Compatibility: Features both an SW10 Hex head and a Torx T30 recess, offering flexibility with tooling during installation.
• Corrosion Resistance: Manufactured from high-quality coated or stainless steel (verify material via datasheet) chosen by Esdec for durability in external roofing environments.

Using genuine Esdec fasteners like this is crucial for maintaining the system's structural certification and warranty.

Why Evergy Recommend This Product

When fixing Esdec components to compatible sheet metal substructures, this specific self-tapping screw is often the designated fastener. We recommend it because:

• Correct Application: Engineered specifically for self-tapping into appropriate sheet metal gauges.
• Efficiency: Self-tapping feature can speed up installation by reducing or eliminating pre-drilling steps.
• Strength & Reliability: Provides secure thread engagement meeting Esdec's structural requirements.
• Warranty Compliance: Ensures you are using the manufacturer-approved fastener for the application.

Specify the Correct Fixings for Metal Roofs

Metal roof installations require careful selection of fasteners based on the structure. Use the Enstall Calculator for Esdec, inputting detailed information about your roof's construction (purlin type, material, thickness). The calculator will generate a Bill of Materials specifying the exact type (self-tapper, hanger bolt, etc.) and quantity of fasteners needed. Add the correct screws to your basket when ordering your Esdec mounting components.
