Rust Free Performance Roof Fasteners
HEX WASHER HEAD WITH WASHER, ZINC
APPLICATIONS
- Panel to secondary framing
- Panel to panel side laps
- Accessory to roof
- Steel roofing and sheeting to metal frame structure
PRODUCT FEATURES
- Specialized point design to improve drilling performance with less effort.
- Long-point design maximizes pullout performance and allows for extra drilling capacity.
- EPDM rubber washer for increased washer life.
- 300-series stainless steel cap for rust-free performance.
- Eliminates rust and streaking.
- Preferred fastener for all roofing applications.
INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
- A standard screw gun with a depth sensitive nosepiece should be used to install Long-life Drillers. For optimal fastener performance, the screw gun should be a minimum of 6 amps and have an rpm range of 0-2500.
- Adjust the screw gun nosepiece to properly seat the fastener.
- New magnetic sockets must be correctly set before use. Remove chip build-up as needed.
- The fastener is fully seated when the head is flush with the work surface.
- Overdriving may result in torsional failure of the fastener or stripout of the substrate.
- The fastener must penetrate beyond the metal structure a minimum of 3 pitches of thread.
