Richelieu FTC17GO5165MR PWR DRIVE CST - Structural Screw for General Construction

Richelieu FTC17GO5165MR PWR DRIVE CST is a premier choice for general construction and structural applications. Crafted from hardened steel, this screw boasts exceptional tensile strength, high torque, and superior shear strength that surpasses typical lag screws. Its innovative design eliminates the need for pre-drilling, saving valuable time on the job site. Featuring sharp threads and a Type 17 point, the FTC17GO5165MR effectively reduces wood splitting. The "U" thread design minimizes friction on the screw shank, leading to lower driving torque and enhanced battery life for your tools. The oversized flat head, complete with nibs and under-head cutting serrations, ensures seamless countersinking, resulting in a clean finish on wood surfaces. Engineered for efficiency, the T-40 firm-grip drive enables exceptional torque strength while maintaining a secure connection to the bit, making it ideal for challenging installation positions. Moreover, this screw meets ICC/ESR-4558 standards, ensuring compliance with the International Building Code (IBC) and the International Residential Code (IRC) for structural integrity and corrosion resistance. With a length of 5 inches and a 5/16 screw size, the PWR DRIVE CST is packaged in blister packs of 10 units, making it a reliable option for structural assembly in both treated and untreated wood applications.

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.
