Richelieu FTC17GO387MR PWR DRIVE CST - Structural Screw for General ConstructionRichelieu FTC17GO387MR PWR DRIVE CST is a high-performance structural screw crafted from hardened steel, delivering superior tensile strength, torque, and shear strength that standard lag screws cannot match. Designed for efficiency, this screw eliminates the need for pre-drilling, saving valuable time on the job site. Its sharp threads and Type 17 tip minimize wood splitting, while the unique "U" thread reduces friction, allowing for lower driving torque and enhanced battery life for your tools. The oversized flat head features nibs and under-head cutting serrations, ensuring easy countersinking and a clean finish in wood. Equipped with a T-40 firm-grip drive, the PWR DRIVE CST provides exceptional torque strength and maintains a secure connection to the bit, making it ideal for challenging working conditions. This screw is ICC/ESR-4558 certified, ensuring compliance with the International Building Code (IBC) and the International Residential Code (IRC) for structural integrity and corrosion resistance. With head markings for easy job site inspections, the PWR DRIVE CST is the preferred choice for structural specifications. Available in blister packs of 10 units, this 7-inch screw with a 3/8 size is suitable for lumber and treated wood applications, making it a reliable option for construction professionals.
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.
