Richelieu FTC17GO38814 PWR DRIVE CST - Structural Screw for General Construction

Richelieu FTC17GO38814 PWR DRIVE CST - General Construction Structural Screw delivers unmatched performance for structural applications. Crafted from hardened steel, this screw exhibits exceptional tensile strength, high torque, and superior shear strength that standard lag screws simply cannot match. One of its key advantages is the elimination of pre-drilling, significantly reducing time on the job site. The sharp threads and Type 17 tip ensure quick penetration while minimizing wood splitting, thanks to the innovative "U" thread that decreases friction on the screw shank. This feature not only lowers driving torque but also prolongs battery life for your tools. Designed with a wide flat head featuring nibs and under-head cutting serrations, the PWR DRIVE CST screws allow for easy countersinking, providing a clean finish in wood. The T-40 firm-grip drive enhances torque strength and maintains a secure fit to the bit, making it ideal for challenging working conditions. Certified under ICC/ESR-4558, these screws comply with the International Building Code (IBC) and the International Residential Code (IRC), ensuring structural integrity and corrosion resistance. Packaged in boxes of 150, the PWR DRIVE CST screws are 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.
