- High-Strength Steel Construction: Built to deliver exceptional shear and tensile strength in metal connections.
- Heat-Treated for Toughness: Hardened to reduce snapping or stripping during installation.
- Precise Thread Design: Promotes fast starts and clean, secure engagement with steel substrates.
- Low-Profile Head Options: Ideal for minimizing surface snagging and flush installations in tight spaces.
- Code-Approved: Qualified under ICC-ES ESR-3006 for cold-formed steel framing applications.
Common Applications
- Steel framing connections (e.g., track to stud, joist to joist)
- HVAC ductwork and hangers
- Electrical and mechanical fastening to steel
- Sheet metal assembly and panel installation
- Industrial racking or equipment installs
Installation Tips
- Choose the right size for your gauge of steel. The X screw comes in multiple lengths to accommodate different applications.
- Use a high-torque drill or impact driverthe self-drilling point is optimized for fast penetration with minimal resistance.
- Avoid overdriving, especially in thin-gauge steel. Stop once the head seats flush to avoid strip-out or distortion.
