Richelieu FTC17GO386 PWR DRIVE CST - Structural Screw for General ConstructionRichelieu FTC17GO386 PWR DRIVE CST - General Construction Structural screw offers an exceptional solution for your structural assembly needs. Crafted from hardened steel, this screw boasts high tensile strength, high torque, and superior shear strength, far surpassing traditional lag screws. One of its standout features is the ability to drive without pre-drilling, which significantly enhances efficiency on the job site. The sharp threads and points are designed to bite quickly, while the Type 17 tip minimizes wood splitting, ensuring clean and precise installations. The unique "U" thread reduces friction on the screw shank, resulting in lower driving torque and improved battery life for your tools. Additionally, the oversized flat head features nibs and under-head cutting serrations that allow for effortless countersinking, providing a flawless finish. Equipped with a T-40 firm-grip drive, the CST screw ensures exceptional torque strength and stays securely attached to the bit, a crucial benefit when working in tight or awkward spaces. Compliant with the ICC/ESR-4558 evaluation, it meets the International Building Code (IBC) and International Residential Code (IRC) standards for structural integrity and corrosion resistance. For structural applications, Richelieu PWR DRIVE CST screws are the superior choice, packaged conveniently in a box of 200 for your 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.
