The values listed are ultimate averages achieved under
laboratory conditions and apply to Buildex manufactured fasteners only. Appropriate safety
factors should be applied to these values for design purposes.
Installation Guidelines
 |
A standard screwgun with a depth
sensitive nosepiece should be used to install Scots® TruGrip. For optimal
fastener performance, the screwgun should be a minimum of 4 amps and have a RPM range of
0-2000. |
 |
Adjust the screwgun nose piece
to properly seat the fastener. |
 |
New magnetic sockets must be
correctly set before use. Remove clip build up as needed. |
 |
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. |
