No. The specification says the green organic coating on our 150mm flush-head screws has been tested to 1,000 hours of salt spray resistance. It does not state that the screws have a 1,000-hour outdoor lifespan.
No. The 1,000-hour figure on our 150mm Flush Head Screws describes a coating test, not a stated service life for the screw.
Both the tube of 10 and box of 50 use hardened steel screws with a green organic coating. The supplied specification states that this coating has been tested to 1,000 hours of salt spray resistance.
That wording should not be converted into a claim that the screw will last exactly 1,000 hours outdoors, nor does East Coast Fencing product data give a universal outdoor lifespan from that test figure. The 1,000 hours relates specifically to the stated salt spray testing of the coating.
The rest of the screw specification remains separate from that coating figure. The fixing is 150mm long and incorporates a self-drilling point, milling shank and flush head. It is intended for substantial timber joints, including certain compatible railway sleeper applications where that fixing length suits the timber being joined.
When comparing products under screws, fixings and fasteners, treat corrosion-test information, screw dimensions and fixing design as separate specifications rather than turning one laboratory test duration into an assumed product lifespan.
