Benefits
- LOX® recess was designed for todays screw guns and for applications where high-torque is required. LOX® will not strip out like most other recesses.
- .375-in flat wafer head with nibs design provides better holding power in cement board to light gauge metal applications. Special nibs self-countersink as the screw seats.
- 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. Special winged drill point clears away sheathing material as the fastener drives in.
Recommended Application
Attach high density sheathing or cement board to steel 33 mil or thicker.
Installation Guidelines
- Use a standard screwgun with a depth sensitive nose piece. Suggested screwgun specification for optimal performance – Size #8 - #10, up to 2,500 RPM.
- The screw head is fully seated when the screw head is flush with the surface of the material.
- The fastener must penetrate beyond the metal three full thread pitches.
- Overdriving may result in failure of the fastener.
