Installation Guidelines
- Use a standard screw gun with a depth-sensitive nose piece. Suggested screw gun specification for optimal performance - Size #12 - #14 up to 1,800 RPM; however, 2,500 RPM may be used provided care is exercised to minimize influence of high heat buildup due to surface speed (see ASTM C1513, Table 5, note C).
- The flat head is fully seated when the head is flush with the work surface.
- The fastener must penetrate beyond the metal three full thread pitches.
- Overdriving my result in fastener failure or strip out of the work surface.
