Richelieu FTC17GO14312 PWR DRIVE CST - Structural Screw for General Construction

Richelieu FTC17GO14312 PWR DRIVE CST - General Construction Structural Screw is engineered for exceptional performance in structural applications. Made from hardened steel, this screw delivers high tensile strength, superior torque, and remarkable shear strength, significantly outperforming traditional lag screws. The innovative design eliminates the need for pre-drilling, saving you valuable time on the job site. Featuring sharp threads and a Type 17 tip, the FTC17GO14312 minimizes wood splitting while the "U" thread reduces friction on the shank, enhancing driving efficiency and extending battery life for your tools. The oversized flat head is equipped with nibs and under-head cutting serrations, ensuring easy countersinking and a clean finish in wood. With a T-40 firm-grip drive, this screw provides exceptional torque strength and stays securely attached to the bit, making it ideal for challenging work conditions. The PWR DRIVE CST is ICC/ESR-4558 certified, ensuring compliance with the International Building Code (IBC) and International Residential Code (IRC), which also includes head markings for straightforward job site inspections. Supplied in a box of 500, this 3 1/2-inch screw is suitable for use with lumber and treated wood, making it the preferred choice for structural assembly and construction projects.

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.
