Description
Method of Application
- Using the #3 Phillips tip provided, and a variable speed drill, engage the fastener into the deck as noted below. Do not over or under drive the fastener. Threads must engage the decking material per Technical Specifications.
- Determine screw length as follows:
- Steel Decks: Select fastener length to penetrate through the deck a minimum of 3 ⁄ 4" (19.1 mm).
- Wood Decks: Select fastener length to penetrate into or through the deck a minimum of 1" (25.4 mm).
- Ace #12 Fasteners may not work as expected through existing roof systems or unusual substrates.
- For best results, use a variable-speed screw gun (0-2500* RPM). Do not over tighten.
Storage
Store in original, unopened packaging protected from the weather.
Precautions
Eye protection must be worn during the installation of the fasteners.
