Known as a multipurpose
screw used in a variety of applications.

Coarse Thread, for drywall to wood stud and attaching fixture to either material.

Fine Thread, for drywall to 20-25 gauge metal stud.

#ffff62 zinc plating used for aesthetics and in low corrosion resistant applications-
salt spray rating is 90 hours.

Recommended drive speed
of 2,500 rpm

 

The values listed are ultimate averages derived under independent laboratory conditions and apply to screws manufactured and distributed by IFG only. Minimum industry standard safety factor of 2.5 to 1 apply.

Screws are manufactured from cold heading quality steel complying with ASTM A548, grade 1022.

The installed screw must protrude through and beyond the metal member a minimum of three full threads. The distance from the center of a screw to the end or edge of a metal member shall not be less than three times the screw diameter. Steel members shall conform to section 2230, A3 of the code.25ga, 20ga, 18ga-ASTM A653 grade 33 S.Q. with a minimum of 33,000 psi yield strength. 16ga,14ga,12ga-ASTM A653 grade 50 S.Q. with a minimum of 50,000 psi yield strength.
