DrillTech
The term self-drilling screw covers a wide variety of products which all have their own specification and applications, depending on the job requirement. Known for their ability to drill through material without the need for a pre-drilled hole, the screw itself has a drill bit end allowing for application into timber and metal. Each DrillTech screw comes with a self-tapping thread allowing for it to create a thread as it is being fitted. This combination provides a fast and efficient means of connecting two materials. There is no need for a pilot drill as this aspect of the process is performed during the installation of the screw. Available in a variety of finishes and sizes.
Installation Tips:
• Use correct speed screw gun (1,500 up to 1,700 rpm) screw-gun with depth setting nosepiece to install with the correct speed
• Ensure fastener is fully seated when head is in contact with material surface, bonded washers should not compress >66% of original thickness
• Carbon Steel Screws - Minimum of three threads should protrude through the rear of the steel structure
• Bi-Metal Screws - Minimum of 5 threads should protrude through the rear of the steel structure
• Never use a impact gun for installation! They can cause the fastener to break, damage the coating and reduce pull out performance
