Richelieu FTC17GO38814L PWR DRIVE CST - Structural Screw for General Construction

Richelieu FTC17GO38814L PWR DRIVE CST is a general construction structural screw designed to enhance efficiency on the job site. Crafted from hardened steel, this screw boasts impressive tensile strength, high torque, and exceptional shear strength, far surpassing that of standard lag screws. One of its standout features is the ability to be driven without pre-drilling, saving valuable time during installation. The sharp threads and Type 17 tip minimize wood splitting, while the innovative "U" thread design reduces friction on the screw shank, leading to lower driving torque and extended battery life for your tools. Featuring a wide flat head with nibs and under-head cutting serrations, the PWR DRIVE CST ensures easy countersinking and a clean finish in wood. The T-40 firm-grip drive provides superior torque strength and prevents slippage, making it ideal for challenging working conditions. This screw is compliant with the International Building Code (IBC) and the International Residential Code (IRC), as affirmed by its ICC/ESR-4558 certification. Sold in boxes of 50, each screw measures 8 1/4 inches in length and is suitable for structural assembly in treated lumber and other wood types. Upgrade your fastening solutions with the reliability and performance of Richelieu's PWR DRIVE CST.

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.
