Richelieu FTC17GO142MR PWR DRIVE CST - Structural Screw for General ConstructionRichelieu FTC17GO142MR PWR DRIVE CST is a high-performance structural screw designed for general construction applications. Crafted from hardened steel, this screw boasts exceptional tensile strength, high torque, and superior shear strength that surpasses traditional lag screws. One of its standout features is the ability to drive without pre-drilling, significantly saving time on the job site. The sharp threads and Type 17 tip minimize wood splitting, while the innovative "U" thread design reduces friction on the screw shank, leading to decreased driving torque and enhanced battery life for your tools. The oversized flat head, equipped with nibs and under-head cutting serrations, ensures easy countersinking, resulting in a clean finish when embedded in wood. The T-40 firm-grip drive not only offers remarkable torque strength but also ensures the screw remains securely attached to the bit, making it easier to work in challenging positions. Certified by ICC/ESR-4558, the PWR DRIVE CST screws comply with the International Building Code (IBC) and International Residential Code (IRC) for both structural integrity and corrosion resistance. Available in blister packs of 15 units, this screw is an ideal choice for structural assembly, making it a reliable replacement for lag screws in demanding applications.
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.
