Benefits
- Grabber's LOX® recess provides ultimate torque.
- Thin wafer head design provides for a larger load bearing surface and better holding power in sheathing to heavy gauge metal applications.
- GrabberGard® exterior-grade coating provides additional protection against corrosion in most exterior applications.
- Consistently formed extra sharp drill point starts and drills easily into heavy gauge metal framing. Special wings clear 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.
