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. |
