Screw Size

[jc1985]

I am purchasing some anchor mounts however the screws that they come with are 2 inches and I need 4 inches as the battens going on the wall are 44mm. When I googled the screw size (see attached), and add 4” at the end, I have no luck. Any ideas what I should be looking for? It could be a bolt also. Kind of lost. Thanks in advance.

Americans often measure in inches.

RoW mostly in mm.

Where are you?

Thanks. UK

Four inches US is about 100mm RoW.

You will need to determine the diameter. M4 is quite popular.

The one you show looks like BZP mushroom headed.

In RoW it would probably be Pozi.

Look like knock off zip fix?

Get the genuine zip fix and they have metric threads (m6), so get some m6 x 100 bolts/set screws, with whatever head you like

Looks like an American ad to me.

Zipfix is a brand name by Timco, a british company.

Condomounts sounds like your average random amazon knock off brand name? Either way they are selling stuff to US/Canada, so have imperial threads.

Don't buy the one with imperial, it will be a pain to get longer bolts

Reviews aren’t great

Make your own mind up, I've used them, they're great

Or buy the imperial threads and have to hunt around for longer bolts?
