Richelieu FTC17GO10318 PWR DRIVE CST - Structural Screw for General Construction

Richelieu FTC17GO10318 PWR DRIVE CST - General Construction Structural screw is engineered for superior performance in structural applications. Crafted from hardened steel, this screw boasts high tensile strength, exceptional torque, and remarkable shear strength, outpacing standard lag screws. The innovative design allows for quick installation without the need for pre-drilling, saving valuable time on the job site. Featuring sharp threads and a Type 17 point, the FTC17GO10318 minimizes wood splitting, while its unique "U" thread reduces friction on the shank. This results in lower driving torque and extends the battery life of your tools. The oversized flat head is equipped with nibs and under-head cutting serrations, ensuring a clean finish with easy countersinking. The T-40 firm-grip drive enhances torque strength and ensures a secure fit, even in challenging positions. Certified under ICC/ESR-4558, this screw meets the International Building Code (IBC) and International Residential Code (IRC) standards for structural integrity and corrosion resistance, making it an ideal choice for structural 'spec' applications. Packaged in a box of 1000, the FTC17GO10318 is suitable for use with lumber and treated wood, making it a versatile solution for construction professionals.

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.
