Richelieu FTC17GO142L PWR DRIVE CST - Structural Screw for General Construction

Richelieu FTC17GO142L PWR DRIVE CST - Structural Screw for General Construction

Richelieu FTC17GO142L PWR DRIVE CST is a high-performance structural screw crafted from hardened steel, delivering exceptional tensile strength and torque that surpasses standard lag screws. Designed for efficiency, its sharp threads and Type 17 tip minimize wood splitting and eliminate the need for pre-drilling, saving valuable time on the job site. The innovative "U" thread reduces friction on the screw shank, which translates to lower driving torque and extended battery life for your tools. This screw features an oversized flat head equipped with nibs and under-head cutting serrations, allowing for easy countersinking and a clean finish in wood applications. The T-40 firm-grip drive provides superior torque strength and stability, ensuring the screw remains secure in the bit, even in challenging working conditions. Richelieu’s PWR DRIVE CST screws comply with the ICC/ESR-4558 evaluation, confirming their adherence to the International Building Code (IBC) and the International Residential Code (IRC) for structural integrity and corrosion resistance. Each screw is clearly marked for convenient job site inspections. Available in boxes of 50, the FTC17GO142L is the ideal choice for structural assembly and other demanding construction applications, making it the go-to solution for professionals seeking reliability and performance.

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.
