Richelieu FTC17GO5164MR PWR DRIVE CST - Structural Screw for General ConstructionRichelieu FTC17GO5164MR PWR DRIVE CST is a high-performance structural screw designed for general construction applications. Crafted from hardened steel, this screw delivers exceptional tensile strength, torque, and shear strength, surpassing the capabilities of standard lag screws. A significant advantage is its ability to eliminate the need for pre-drilling, thereby saving valuable time on the job site. Featuring sharp threads and a Type 17 tip, the FTC17GO5164MR minimizes wood splitting, while its unique "U" thread design reduces friction on the shank, resulting in lower driving torque and enhanced battery life for your tools. The oversized flat head, complemented by nibs and under-head cutting serrations, ensures easy countersinking and a clean finish in wood. Equipped with a T-40 firm-grip drive, this screw provides excellent torque strength and maintains a secure hold on the bit, making it ideal for challenging positions. Additionally, the PWR DRIVE CST is ICC/ESR-4558 evaluated, confirming compliance with the International Building Code (IBC) and the International Residential Code (IRC) in terms of structural integrity and corrosion resistance. Packaged in blister packs of 10 units, the FTC17GO5164MR screw is perfect for structural assembly in treated lumber and other wood types, making it a reliable choice for any construction professional.
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.
