Richelieu FTC17GO386L PWR DRIVE CST - Structural Screw for General ConstructionRichelieu FTC17GO386L PWR DRIVE CST is a high-performance structural screw designed for general construction applications. Crafted from hardened steel, this screw boasts exceptional tensile strength, torque, and shear strength, far surpassing traditional lag screws. One of its standout features is the ability to install without pre-drilling, significantly reducing time spent on the job site. Its sharp threads and Type 17 tip effectively minimize wood splitting, while the unique U-thread reduces friction on the shank, enhancing driving efficiency and battery life for your tools. The oversized flat head is equipped with nibs and under-head cutting serrations, ensuring an effortless countersink for a clean finish in wood. The T-40 firm-grip drive not only delivers exceptional torque strength but also allows the screw to maintain a secure grip on the bit, essential for working in tight or awkward positions. With compliance to the ICC/ESR-4558 evaluation, the PWR DRIVE CST is certified under the International Building Code (IBC) and the International Residential Code (IRC), highlighting its structural integrity and corrosion resistance. Available in boxes of 50, this versatile screw is perfect for structural assembly and construction, making it a reliable choice for all your building 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.
