Richelieu FTC17GO38814MR PWR DRIVE CST - General Construction Structural ScrewRichelieu FTC17GO38814MR PWR DRIVE CST - General Construction Structural Screw offers an innovative solution for construction professionals seeking high performance and reliability. Crafted from hardened steel, this structural screw delivers exceptional tensile strength, high torque, and superior shear strength, outperforming standard lag screws without the need for pre-drilling-saving you valuable time on the job site. With sharp threads and a Type 17 tip, the FTC17GO38814MR minimizes wood splitting while a unique "U" thread reduces friction on the screw shank, enhancing driving efficiency and prolonging your tool's battery life. The oversized flat head features nibs and under-head cutting serrations, allowing for clean countersinking and a seamless finish in wood applications. Designed for versatility, this screw comes with a T-40 firm-grip drive, ensuring exceptional torque strength and easy handling, even in challenging positions. The PWR DRIVE CST is compliant with ICC/ESR-4558, meeting the International Building Code (IBC) and the International Residential Code (IRC), which also facilitates job site inspections. Available in blister packs of 10 units, the FTC17GO38814MR is suitable for structural assembly and is rustproof for durability in treated wood and lumber applications. Elevate your construction projects with the reliability and efficiency of Richelieu's PWR DRIVE CST screws.
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.
