HEXTRA™ STEEL AND WOOD DECK FASTENING

PRODUCT REPORT NO. 190100


Installation Guidelines

An ITW Buildex Accutrac III or an Accudrive XL PLUS installation tool, or a standard screwgun with a disengaging clutch should be used to install Hextra fasteners. The screwgun should have a range of 1,800 -2,500 RPM. The screwgun should also have a minimum current rating of 4 amps.
Fasteners should be spaced using a pattern specified by the insulation or roof cover manufacturer.
The nosepiece of the screwgun should be adjusted so the clutch disengages when the fastener is fully and properly seated.
The fastener must penetrate the metal deck a minimum of 3/4" for Factory Mutual System Approval.
The fastener is fully seated when the head is tight against the metal plate, or snaps into the GearLok locking plastic plate. The fastener should not be overdriven as to cause the plate surface to deflect more than 1/16".
Overdriven fasteners will significantly reduce fastener and plate performance and/or strip the deck. Underdriven fasteners will not distribute the load over the plate properly.
