Richelieu FTC17GO5166MR PWR DRIVE CST - Structural Screw for General Construction

Richelieu FTC17GO5166MR PWR DRIVE CST is a high-performance structural screw designed specifically for general construction applications. Made from hardened steel, this screw delivers exceptional tensile strength, torque, and shear strength, surpassing the capabilities of traditional lag screws. One of its standout features is the ability to drive without pre-drilling, significantly saving time on job sites. The PWR DRIVE CST is equipped with sharp threads and a Type 17 tip to minimize wood splitting, while its unique "U" thread reduces friction along the screw shank. This not only lowers driving torque but also enhances battery life for your tools, making it an efficient choice for professionals. The oversized flat head, complete with under-head cutting serrations, ensures a clean and easy countersink. Designed for versatility, the T-40 drive provides a firm grip, allowing for secure placement even in challenging positions. The screw is ICC/ESR-4558 certified, confirming its compliance with both the International Building Code (IBC) and the International Residential Code (IRC), including its impressive corrosion resistance. With a length of 6 inches and a screw size of 5/16, the PWR DRIVE CST is an ideal replacement for lag screws, ensuring reliability in structural assembly. Each blister pack contains 10 units, ready for immediate use.

PWR DRIVE CST - General Construction Structural screw

The PWR DRIVE CST screw is made of hardened steel to provide a degree of high tensile strength, high torque, and super shear strength that a regular lag screw just cannot offer. This results in the instant advantage of not having to pre-drill, which is quite a time saver on the job site. The sharp threads and points bite quickly, a type 17 tip reduces wood splitting and a clearing thread, called the "U" thread, reduces the friction on the screw shank, for reduced driving torque and more importantly increased battery life for your tools. The PWR DRIVE CST has a wide flat head with nibs and under-head cutting serrations for easy countersinks and will embed in wood with an incomparable clean finish. This screw also has a T-40 firm-grip drive, that not only provides exceptional torque strength but allows the CST to stick to the bit, which is paramount when you work in less than ideal positions.

It is also worth mentioning that the PWR DRIVE CST is part of the ICC/ESR-4558 evaluation, which certifies CST as fully compliant with the International Building Code (IBC) and the International Residential Code (IRC), for both its structural properties and corrosion resistance. This is why all CST screws have head markings for easy job site inspections

For all these reasons, PWR DRIVE CST screws are a great replacement for lag screws and are the screws of choice for structural 'spec' applications.
