Richelieu FTC17GO5163MR PWR DRIVE CST - General Construction Structural ScrewRichelieu FTC17GO5163MR PWR DRIVE CST is a high-performance structural screw designed for general construction applications. Crafted from hardened steel, this screw boasts exceptional tensile strength, high torque, and impressive shear strength, surpassing the capabilities of traditional lag screws. One of its standout features is the ability to eliminate pre-drilling, significantly enhancing efficiency on the job site. The sharp threads and Type 17 tip ensure quick penetration while minimizing wood splitting, and the innovative "U" thread reduces friction on the screw shank, leading to less driving torque and extended battery life for your tools. With a wide flat head featuring nibs and under-head cutting serrations, the PWR DRIVE CST enables effortless countersinking and achieves a clean finish when embedded in wood. Equipped with a T-40 firm-grip drive, this screw delivers superior torque and stays securely attached to the bit, making it ideal for challenging working conditions. Additionally, the PWR DRIVE CST meets ICC/ESR-4558 standards, ensuring compliance with the International Building Code (IBC) and the International Residential Code (IRC) for both structural integrity and corrosion resistance. Packaged in blisters of 10, these screws are the preferred choice for structural 'spec' applications, making them a reliable replacement for traditional lag 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.
