Benefits

- NanoGard™ exterior-grade coating provides additional protection against corrosion in most exterior applications.
- The extra sharp Streaker® point design starts immediately and is much less likely to flop over.
Recommended Application

Installation Guidelines
- Use a standard screw gun with a depth-sensitive nose piece. Suggested screw gun specification for optimal performance - Size #8 up to 4,000 RPM.
- The Modified Truss Head is fully seated when the bearing surface 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.
