Concrete screws are typically used in heavy-duty applications. Most concrete screws come with a range of approvals and certifications such as ETAs, including fire resistance tests and seismic approvals, meaning you can use the screws in many different applications in both cracked and non-cracked concrete.
Mounting
Installing with concrete screws are one of the easiest and quickest ways to install on concrete and can be achieved in 3 easy steps:
Although the installation process is quite simple it is important to ensure the correct installation procedures are followed in accordance with the ETA. This includes ensuring you always clean out the hole, using the correct amount of torque and not overtightening the screws.
HEAD TYPE
The hex head screws come with an integral washer and are suitable in applications where the design of the head of the screw can protrude the surface of the item being fastened. The head allows for easier driving and tightening of the screw.
Applications:
- Railings
- Metal profiles
The design of the pan head allows for a flush finish against the fastening application, meaning it can be used in a wider variety of applications. Its flatter head means that there is less strength when tightening compared to the hex head.
Applications:
- Railings
- Channels
The connecting thread allows for direct installation of the application and is easy to install reducing installation time especially when installing overhead.
Applications:
- Pipe clamps
- Rails
- Channels
A fast alternative to the drop-in anchor, concrete screws with internal thread are perfect for ceiling installations and allow for direct installation of the application.
Applications:
- Pipe clamps
- Rails
- Channels
