Richelieu FTC17GO3812B PWR DRIVE CST - Structural Screw for General ConstructionRichelieu FTC17GO3812B PWR DRIVE CST is a superior structural screw designed for general construction applications. Crafted from hardened steel, this screw boasts exceptional tensile strength, high torque, and remarkable shear strength, far surpassing that of traditional lag screws. One of its standout features is the ability to be installed without pre-drilling, saving precious time on the job site. The PWR DRIVE CST screw features sharp threads and a Type 17 tip that minimizes wood splitting, while its unique "U" thread design reduces friction on the screw shank, resulting in lower driving torque and extended battery life for your tools. With a wide flat head equipped with nibs and under-head cutting serrations, it offers easy countersinking and ensures a clean finish upon embedding in wood. Equipped with a T-40 firm-grip drive, this screw provides exceptional torque strength and stability, crucial for working in challenging positions. Notably, it meets ICC/ESR-4558 evaluation standards, confirming its compliance with the International Building Code (IBC) and the International Residential Code (IRC) for structural integrity and corrosion resistance. The FTC17GO3812B is ideal for structural assembly and construction applications, making it a reliable choice for professionals. Each bag contains two units, ensuring you have the right quantity for your projects.
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.
