| 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. |
