Richelieu FTC17GO38412L PWR DRIVE CST - Structural Screw for General ConstructionRichelieu FTC17GO38412L PWR DRIVE CST is a high-performance structural screw designed for general construction applications. Crafted from hardened tempered steel, this screw boasts exceptional tensile strength, high torque, and super shear strength, making it a reliable alternative to traditional lag screws. The innovative design eliminates the need for pre-drilling, significantly reducing time spent on the job site. Equipped with sharp threads and a Type 17 tip, the FTC17GO38412L minimizes wood splitting while the "U" thread feature decreases friction on the screw shank. This results in lower driving torque and enhances battery life for your tools. The oversized flat head with under-head cutting serrations ensures a clean countersink, providing an aesthetically pleasing finish. The T-40 firm-grip drive offers outstanding torque strength and secures the screw to the bit, which is essential in challenging work environments. Additionally, the PWR DRIVE CST is ICC/ESR-4558 compliant, meeting the International Building Code (IBC) and International Residential Code (IRC) standards for structural integrity and corrosion resistance. Available in boxes of 50, these screws are suitable for lumber and treated wood applications, ensuring durability and reliability for all your structural assembly needs. Choose Richelieu FTC17GO38412L for a dependable fastening solution that meets professional standards.
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.
