HEXTRA PLUS™  PRE-ASSEMBLED STEEL AND WOOD DECK FASTENING

PRODUCT REPORT NO. 90703


Installation Guidelines

An ITW Buildex AccuFast installation tool, or a standard screwgun with a disengaging clutch should be used to install the assembled 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. 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.
