JCP Fire Resistant range expands with light duty fixings

Manufactured entirely from heat-treated steel, these specialist fire-resistant screws offer a reaction to fire Class A1 rating and are ideal for direct fastening into many substrates.

The JCP Wall Screw is a light-duty carbon steel fixing for use in concrete and masonry base materials. The fast and easy installation along with undercutting feature provides a rapid secure fixing without pre-drilling in wall-board or wood. For concrete or masonry applications, pre-drilling is necessary. They are available with two head types, countersunk and pan head, and are pitched an an ideal choice for use in lightweight fixtures and cable and electrical accessories.

Available in three lengths – 32, 38 and 50mm, with white or self-coloured Zinc Plated heads, they can support in compliance with the New Wiring Regulations BS 7671:2018 Amendment 3 (clause 521.10.202) 18th Edition, with no requirement for a plastic wall plug, which means they are suitable for fixing cable trunking, smoke alarms and fire-resistant clips etc.
