- Self-tapping drill point is designed for quick penetration into heavy-gauge metal.
Recommended Application
Drywall or sheathing attachment to steel 33 mil or thicker.
Installation Guidelines
- Use a standard screw gun with a depth-sensitive nose piece and use extra caution when installing with impact drivers. Suggested screw gun specification for optimal performance - Size #6 - #10 up to 2,500 RPM.
- The Bugle Head is fully seated when the top of the head is flush with the work 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.
