The MiTek Pro Series Hex Head is the ideal screw for numerous framing
applications. It can be used in wood-to-wood and steel-to-wood applications.
Features and Benets:
• 1/4" diameter
• No predrilling
• Type 17 point reduces installation torque and splitting
• 3/8" hex drive
• Length identication stamps on all WS heads
Materials: 1/4" diameter Grade 5 steel
Finish: Exterior Coat
Codes: IBC, FL, LA
Installation:
• Screws are self-drilling.
• Install using a low speed clutch drill with 3/8" hex head driver.
The washer head should be at to the surface and the serrations will
oppose turning and release the clutch. Do not over-tighten the screws.
• Care should be given to ensure the fastener is installed perpendicular
to the plane of the side plate.
• Refer to page 34 for Attaching Deck Ledger to Rim Board Application.
