#14 ROOFGRIP™ STEEL, WOOD AND STRUCTURAL CONCRETE DECK FASTENING

PRODUCT REPORT NO. 90702

Installation Guidelines

An Accudrive XL PLUS™ or a standard screwgun with a disengaging clutch should be used to install #14 Roofgrip. The screwgun should have a range of 1,800-2,500 RPM. The screwgun should also have a minimum current rating of 4 amps.
The nosepiece of the screwgun should be adjusted so the clutch disengages when the fastener is fully and properly seated.
Fasteners should be spaced using a pattern specified by the insulation or roof cover manufacturer.
Factory Mutual specifies the fastener must penetrate the metal deck a minimum of 3/4".
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.

Note: For structural concrete applications when using #14 Roofgrip, the following additional guidelines should be adhered to:

Pre-drill a 3/16" ANSI pilot hole in the concrete using a hammerdrill or rotary hammer.
Hole should be at least 1/2" deeper than the required embedment.
Seat #14 Roofgrip fasteners using a standard variable speed screwgun.
Minimum required embedment in concrete is 1".
