Stainless Steel Torx Flange Button Head Wood Screws
304 and 316 stainless steel flange-button wood screws bring a broad integral bearing surface together with Torx drive and a partial thread. They suit timber assemblies where the head remains visible and a wide seating footprint is required.
- 304 / 316 stainless steel
- Rounded button head with a broad integral flange
- Sharp gimlet wood point
KEY FEATURES & PERFORMANCE
Wide flange.
Secure clamp-up.
Compare the flange button head and bearing area with the surface being fixed. Match the smooth shank, threaded length and Torx drive to the timber connection and the agreed drawing.
- 01
Grade selection for the exposure
304, often described as 18-8, is used for general exposure; molybdenum-bearing 316 is considered for salt or chemical conditions. Match the grade to the timber treatment or contact materials and environment.
- 02
Integral flange spreads the load
The broad flange distributes clamping force over a larger seating footprint, helping resist head pull-through in the intended timber joint without a loose washer in this design.
- 03
A smooth upper shank
The unthreaded section allows the upper member to move towards the receiving timber as the screw tightens. Its length needs to match the actual joint build-up.
- 04
Torx torque transfer
A matching Torx bit engages multiple drive faces to support controlled installation and reduce slipping. Confirm tool access around the wide head before specifying the fixing.
- 05
Sharp point and coarse wood thread
The gimlet point helps locate the screw, while the coarse thread engages the timber. Pilot preparation remains dependent on species, diameter and proximity to an edge.
- 06
A defined head footprint
Head diameter and height are important where fittings or adjacent members limit space. A broad flange is a geometric feature, not evidence of a particular load capacity.

APPLICATIONS & CONNECTION PLANNING
Connections This Range Is Made For
Framing & log construction
For timber frames and log connections, compare the flange seat with the available member width. Supply structural loads and embedment requirements for configuration review.
Pergolas & garden structures
Pergolas and gazebos combine exposed timber with visible fixing details. Account for wood treatment, weather exposure and the smooth-shank relationship to the upper member.
Furniture & deck substructures
The integrated flange can provide a wide bearing face in furniture and deck framing. Check fitting clearances and the approved fixing requirements of the assembly.
Select against the actual materials, joint dimensions and exposure. Performance requirements need data for the ordered configuration and complete connection.
COATING SOLUTIONS
A Finish That Fits
the Project
Head colour matching, passivation and specialty finishes can be reviewed with your selected screw. Include the desired appearance and exposure conditions in the enquiry.
Specify the stainless grade, contact materials and environment alongside the finish. A decorative head colour and a protective surface treatment serve different purposes; coating scope and any test requirements are agreed for the exact configuration.

Product, OEM & Packaging Q&A
Product selection, configuration checks, custom production and packaging for this range.
Product
Is the wide flange a separate washer?
No. The pictured design has an integral flange beneath its button head. An additional washer, if required by the connection, should be specified separately.
Product
Does a larger flange guarantee higher capacity?
No. Pull-through and connection capacity depend on the timber, head dimensions, screw size and joint detail. Use performance data for the selected configuration.
Product
What distinguishes it from a wafer or truss head?
This design has a rounded button-head centre with a broad flange. Compare head height, diameter, recess and shank layout against the intended seat.
OEM
Can you customise the screw design?
Yes. Head markings, head and drive details, dimensions and tolerances can be reviewed against your drawing or specified standard. A custom design is agreed separately from the pictured configuration.
OEM
Can you match the head colour or finish?
Yes. Share the target colour, appearance and exposure conditions. Head painting, passivation and specialty finishing requests are reviewed for the selected material and screw configuration.
OEM
Can we approve samples before full production?
Custom samples and initial inspection reports can be arranged before the production order. The sample scope, cost and timing are confirmed during development.
Packaging
Which pack formats can we request?
Options include small polybags, inner boxes and industrial bulk packing. State the order quantity, units and preferred pack count; the final packing quantity and carton size are agreed for the order.
Packaging
Can the packaging carry our brand?
Yes. Inner and outer boxes, printed logos and supplied artwork can be included in a private-label packaging brief. Artwork and print details are approved before production.
Packaging
Can you include barcodes and shipping marks?
Private labels, UPC / EAN barcodes, part numbers and shipping marks can be included. Provide the required identifiers and label artwork so they can be checked against the product and pack format.
ORDER SUPPORT
Documents, Production & Delivery
Material & inspection records
MTRs and mill certificates can be requested with the enquiry. Identify the material, order and document requirements so record scope and batch traceability can be agreed. Inspection reports are matched to the selected configuration.
Stock, bulk & custom orders
Available stock, bulk production and custom work follow different scheduling routes. Confirm availability for the exact configuration; quantities, specification and sample approval determine the quoted production and dispatch schedule.
International shipping
FOB, CIF or DDP terms can be reviewed for your destination, with shipment tracking arranged for the agreed route. Destination availability, duties, charges and delivery timing are confirmed in the quotation.
Standards & Material References
| Dimensional references | ASME B18.6.3 / ASME B18.2.1 / ANSI |
|---|---|
| Material / physical references | ASTM F593 (Group 1: 304/305; Group 2: 316) / ASTM A240 |
Source-listed references require confirmation of edition and component scope; specify the exact ANSI standard. The list is not a certificate or proof that every reference applies to this screw.
