Benefits
- The # 2 Phillips recess is a precision recess designed for better bit engagement resulting in less wobble or strip-out.
- The wafer head with nibs provides better holding power in cement board to wood or light gauge metal applications. Special nibs self-countersink as the screw seats.
- NanoGard™ exterior-grade coating provides additional protection against corrosion in most exterior applications.
- Alternating or high-low threads and the spoon point help these cement board screws start faster and drive easier into wood and light gauge steel.
Recommended Application
Cement board attachment to light gauge steel or wood.
Installation Guidelines
- Use a standard screw gun with a depth-sensitive nose piece. Suggested screw gun specification for optimal performance - Size #8 - #10 up to 4,000 RPM.
- The wafer head is fully seated when the top of the head is flush with the substrate surface.
- The fastener must penetrate beyond the metal a minimum of three full threads.
- Overdriving my result in fastener failure or strip out of the work surface.
