Benefits
- Grabber’s Pro-Fit™ # 2 Phillips recess is a precision recess designed for better bit engagement resulting in less wobble or strip-out.
- Head dies are changed more frequently, screws are more evenly heat treated resulting in better formed and stronger heads that resist popping off as screws seat.
- GrabberGard® limited lifetime exterior-grade coating provides additional protection against corrosion in most exterior applications.
- Consistently formed extra sharp pilot point starts and drills easily into heavy gauge metal framing.
Recommended Application
Drywall or sheathing attachment to steel 33 mil or thicker. Superior corrosion resistance.
Installation Guidelines
- Use a standard screwgun with a depth sensitive nose piece. Suggested screwgun specification for optimal performance - Size #6 - #10, up to 2,500 RPM.
- For gypsum board, the bugle head is fully seated when the screw is below the surface of the wallboard in accordance with Section 11.6.3 of ASTM C954.
- The fastener must penetrate the metal at least three threads.
- Overdriving may result in failure of the fastener or failure of the gypsum board.
