Self Taping Screw and Washers

[littlespark]

Just buy some self tappers man

That’s not helpful when the guy’s asking for advice.

I got the orbix self drilling multi box assortment from YESSS a while ago, but with all selection boxes, there are certain sizes you use a lot, and others not at all. Just have to replenish the commonly used ones…. Which is different for every job.

Once you choose the most suitable size(s) then pick a good pilot drill if needed. Not too big, or the screws won’t bite.

I’m just also looking for Spacers or Washers to put behind Alarm Panels, to stop the panel from squashing the 8 core cables.

I used to occasionally have a session with a chop saw and 20mm conduit and create a few spacers.
If 'caught short' then female brass bushes were a slightly more expensive alternative!

Main screw we use are Stainless Steel Countersunk. In 1 inch Inch and a Half and 2 Inch. I’m just also looking for Spacers or Washers to put behind Alarm Panels, to stop the panel from squashing the 8 core cables.

to space panels from wall I use 1/2"(variable) cuts of 20mm pvc tube around the screws.
