Richelieu FTC17GO14312MR PWR DRIVE CST - Structural Screw for General ConstructionRichelieu FTC17GO14312MR PWR DRIVE CST - General Construction Structural screw is engineered for unmatched performance in structural applications. Crafted from hardened steel, this screw delivers high tensile strength, superior torque, and exceptional shear strength, making it a reliable alternative to traditional lag screws. The innovative design eliminates the need for pre-drilling, saving valuable time on the job site. Featuring sharp threads and a Type 17 tip, the FTC17GO14312MR significantly reduces wood splitting while its unique "U" thread minimizes friction on the screw shank. This design results in lower driving torque and enhances battery life for your power tools. The oversized flat head, equipped with nibs and under-head cutting serrations, ensures easy countersinking and a clean finish when embedded in wood. This screw utilizes a T-40 firm-grip drive, providing excellent torque strength and preventing bit slippage, especially in challenging positions. Certified to meet the ICC/ESR-4558 standards, it complies with both the International Building Code (IBC) and the International Residential Code (IRC), ensuring structural integrity and corrosion resistance. Available in blister packs of 15, the PWR DRIVE CST screws are the preferred choice for structural assembly, combining practicality with robust performance for all your construction needs.
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.
