Introduction

Since the 1990’s FRAMECAD have specialized in the development and supply of fastening

systems specifically for the light steel framing industry with an emphasis on quality, reliability

and speed. Our products are available with a choice of plating finishes to meet the demands of

variable climatic and environmental conditions.

FRAMECAD screw fasteners are produced by established ISO 9001 (and some 14001) certified

factories with a long tradition for producing consistent quality and adherence to strict

manufacturing and inspection standards to meet increasingly stringent building codes. This has

resulted in consistent product quality delivered to our customers.

FRAMECAD screws fasteners are increasingly available in multiple global locations to service

international demand for specialist products.

FRAMECAD products incorporate innovative new high torque drives such as the exclusive new

“X-Drive”, coating technologies such as “E-Coat” anti-corrosion plating and thread designs such

as the double helix thread used on the M6 Fastite™. The use of such technologies has proved to

increase manufacturing, site productivity and structure durability.

*Pin Point screws should only be used if the correct dimple hole size has been punched. The nominal hole size for 10 gauge screws is 3.8mm +/- 0.1mm. The nominal hole size when using the M6 Fastite™ is 5.1mm +/- 0.1mm. Screw holding

strength will reduce if the hole is too large and screw insertion effort will increase if the hole is too small. To change the dimple hole size, order the appropriate dimple tool from Framecad.

How to Measure a Screw

The fastener length is determined as the total length of penetration

The length is measured from the

underside of the head to the end of the

point:

• Flat Pan Head Screws

• Wafer Head Screws

• Hexagonal Head screws (HWH)

• Flat Head Screws

• Button Head Screws

• Pan Head Screws

The length is measured from the top of the

head to the end of the point:

• Bugle Head Screws

• Countersink Screws (CSK)

• Countersink Rib (CSK Rib)

FRAMECAD© 9

Head Types

Wafer

(2mm depth) Low profile, curved head for metal-to-metal

applications. Designed to sit flush in pre-

punched dimple holes.

Wafer Button Wider, flatter version of the wafer, with a little

button at the top of the screw to add strength.

Designed to have more surface area contact,

enabling it to hold light items such as building,

insulation or building wrap to Light Gauge Steel

Framing.

Pan A low disc screw head with a bevelled outer

edge.

Flat Pan

(2.8 – 3mm depth) A low profile version of the pan head, especially

useful for steel framing applications, where the

screw head must sit flush within the dimple to

allow smooth application of cladding or lining

product over the top.

Flat Head

(1 – 2mm depth

range)

A simple head with a low, flat appearance. Ideal

for sitting flush in dimples

Hex Washer Head

(HWH) High torque, hexagonal head for metal-to-metal

applications. The design of the screw gives it

extra head strength and makes it easier to drive

due to the extra torque and stability in the

driver.

Head Types - Continued

Hex Washer Head

with Neoprene

Washer

Same head type as the Hex Washer Head

however on the other side of the built in

washer there is a removable neoprene washer

designed to give a waterproof seal around the

fastening and hole. Most commonly used in

roofing and exterior cladding applications.

Countersunk

(CSK) Conical, with flat outer face and tapering inner

face allowing it to embed into softer materials

and give a flush finish.

Countersunk Rib

(CSK Rib) Countersunk head with cutting ribs on the

underside to allow the head to embed properly

into materials such as timber or fibre cement.

Bugle Similar to countersunk, but there is a smooth

progression from the shank to the angle of the

head, similar to the bell of a bugle. Designed to

seat fast and easily into wood or drywall.

Bugle Scavenger Designed with a secondary ring under the

normal Bugle head design to eliminate paper

burrs in drywall. This double head effectively

reduces paper burns for a cleaner finish.

FRAMECAD© 11

Screw Driver Types

X-Drive®

The X-Drive delivers much higher torque

without the cam out that occurs with a Phillips

Drive. It delivers more stability when driving

screws, minimizes wear on driver bits and

reduces operator fatigue. The X-Drive® also

offers “Bit-Stick” without any magnetising.

Lox Drive™

Another high torque drive with similar

properties to the X-Drive®. Its unique design

has 12 points of contact allowing for higher

torque. It offers excellent “Bit-Stick” minimising

dropped screws and eliminating the need for a

magnetised bit holder.

Phillips Drive The classic drive, built and designed to “cam

out” preventing the fastener from overdriving

into gypsum board. While appropriate in

applications such as drywall, is not always ideal

when assembling steel framing.

Square Drive

(Robertson) Four sided recess screw which is also very

common. The screw has a taper making them

easy to use and have a higher torque value than

the Phillips, however not nearly as high as the X

Drive or lox. The square drive offers some “Bit-

Stick”.

Hex washer Head

Drive A hex screw head with high torque which is

ideal for metal to metal applications. The large

extruding hex gives additional head strength

and allows for more torque and stability making

it easier to drive. Due to the size of the head, it

can’t be used in applications where other

products need to go on top of it.

Socket Hex Drive Hexagonal recess, similar to the square drive

but with a hexagon shape instead of the square.

Often driven by a Hex wrench or “Allen key”

Screw Point Types

Self Drilling Point

(DP) Fasteners with a point capable of drilling into

medium to heavy gauge steel. Drill points are

classified as #1(shortest) through #5 (longest),

with a #5 point being capable of penetrating

thicker gauge metals.

Pilot Drill Point

(Pilot DP)

A self drilling point with an unthreaded portion

of the shank between the point and the

threads, designed to attach wood or plywood

to medium gauge metal.

Streaker® Point Piercing sharp pointed gypsum board screw for

metal studs. The Pin Point has an especially

sharp point having multiple threads occurring

within the other in the body portion of the

screw. One of the threads gradually decreases

in diameter and fades into the tapered portion

of the shank and terminates. The other thread

decreases in diameter and fades nearer the

pointed end of the screw.

Pin Point

(PP)

also known as sharp

or needle point)

A screw with a sharp pin point. Used for steel

framing assembly with pre-punched holes. The

sharp point helps align the holes for

exceptionally accurate frames.

Winged Drill Point

(Wing DP) Used to attach plywood, particle board and

cement board to steel. The wings bore a hole in

the wood greater in diameter than the major

diameter of the screw. As the point of the

fastener enters the metal, the wings are broken

off, allowing the fastener to tap into metal.

Type 17

(T17) A sharp pointed screw, slotted at the point

(shank slotted) to aid in drilling and displacing

hard materials. Ideal for light steel to wood

applications

Reduced Drill Point

Similar to a standard drill point however the

drill part of the screw is narrower, matching the

width of the inner diameter of the screw rather

than the outer thread.

Fastening to Metal

For successful connection, the screw must be of

sufficient length to ensure at least 3 threads are

protruding through the fastened material and the drill

point length must be greater than the total thickness

of metal being fastened into

Note

Caution must be taken when tightening screws.

Screws must be fully tightened however caution must

be taken not to “over tighten” as this can lead to the

thread being stripped, significantly affecting the connection and load capacities.

Installation Guidelines:

• Use a quality brand impact driver or screw gun.

• Suggested screw gun specification for optimal performance is 4 amps minimum, with an

RPM range of 0 to 2,500.

• The screw is fully seated when the head is flush with the work surface.

• Overdriving may result in failure of the fastener or strip out of the work surface.

• The fastener must penetrate beyond the metal a minimum of three thread pitches.

EPDM Washer Installation

• Do not overdrive. Over–compression will damage the washer and reduce its

effectiveness

TOO LOOSE

Sealing material is not visible; not enough compression to seal

CORRECT

Sealing material slightly visible at edge of washer - assembly is water tight

TOO TIGHT

Washer is deformed; sealing material pressed beyond fastener edge

EPDM Washers

Using high quality EPDM washers is a critical part of having a watertight roof. Because washers

are small and relatively inexpensive, their importance in a roofing project is sometimes

overlooked. A poor quality washer can result in enormous costs if it is made of inferior material.

The washer is vital in maintaining the integrity of the roofing system. A failure in the washer can

mean at best replacement of the screws, or at worst, considerable damage to the entire roof

and building structure. FRAMECAD uses only premium EPDM compounds for its range of

roofing screws, ensuring a high quality fastening solution for steel framed roofs.

FRAMECAD roofing screws incorporate the use of ‘DEKS’ EPDM washers. Deks quality roofing

washers are chosen globally by major fastening suppliers to ensure their fastening systems

provide a weather-tight seal against wind, rain, heat and sunlight.

Installation

www.framecad.com

Design

FRAMECAD’s washer design ensures sealing at ALL points of contact between screw and roofing

sheet. The illustration below shows how the washer has a clear advantage over conventional

washer designs.

Multi-Seal

1. Protects and seals under the head

2. Protects against the shank

3. Protects against the roof sheet

4. Protects around the perimeter

Standard bonded metal washer

Normally hidden from sight, a cross section

shows how basic washers rely on ineffective

metal to metal contact, which can never

guarantee 100% effective waterproofing.

The least costly product can sometimes be

the most expensive if it fails

Material

Although washers tend to look the same, chemical analysis shows that their performance

differs dramatically. Only a premium EPDM compound is suitable for use on metal roofs,

particularly if the washer and fastener are powder coated and baked after assembly.

Conductivity

Carbon black added to the washer material provides important qualities such as UV and ozone

resistance, but too much can create corrosion problems by creating an electrical pathway

between the roofing sheet and the screw. Carbon black is often over-used in EPDM compounds

by manufacturers because it is cheap. FRAMECAD’s washers have just the right threshold level

of carbon black that eliminates conductivity in their washers and are supplied standard as non-

conductive.

Winged Drill Points are screws with 2 wing like tabs located just above the drill point. When

fixing fibre cement or engineered timber cladding such as plywood or OSB etc to steel that is

0.75mm (or thicker) it is important to use a screw that has wings. The wings create a clearance

hole removing the requirement to pre-drill holes. The clearance hole maintains the screw

rotation speed and allows the drill tip to penetrate the steel quickly with-out ‘jacking’ (lifting)

and potentially weakening or cracking the board

Installation Guidelines

• Driver speed recommendation 2500rpm

• Driving too slowly may result in failure of wings to break off

Corrosion Resistance

Corrosion resistance is an extremely important factor to consider when purchasing screws, and

is often over looked when putting a structure together. Moisture, airborne chemicals and

pollutants all can combine to reduce the life of carbon steel fasteners through the process of

corrosion, threatening the integrity of the structure.

When choosing a screw, careful attention needs to be paid to the application it is being used for

and the level of exposure to the elements it will receive. Questions such as; “is the project in a

coastal area subject to salt laden air, or is it in an urban area where acid rain will attack exterior

components of the building?”, also “how long will the structure be under construction,

exposing interior components to the elements prior to the building being enclosed?” all need to

be considered.

There are also unique aspects of light gauge steel that will impact structures differently than

other building materials. The shape of the common steel track section can act as a trough

during construction, collecting rainwater and morning dew and the type and location of

thermal insulation used in the wall system and the relative humidity can result in water vapour

condensing within exterior walls. Also, since steel framing members are inherently straight and

true, it is easier to attain quality construction with less air infiltration through walls. This

reduced air movement in wall cavities can cause moisture to accumulate, corroding steel studs

and fasteners, if protection is not provided.

Unlike many building components for which the designer can look to codes or industry

standards for guidance, these sources offer little help with the issue of fastener corrosion. Most

codes are very general, requiring fasteners to have a corrosion resistant treatment with no

further detail.

A better guide to go by may be found in the results of long range testing that has been

conducted by ASTM and other organizations to determine the corrosion behaviour of zinc

coatings (Zinc being the most common coating used to protect the screw from corrosion). The

service life of zinc coating – and hence the corrosion protection of the screw, is a function of its

thickness and the type of environment to which it is exposed.

On the following page is the result of worldwide testing comparing the behaviour of

electrodeposited zinc in various atmospheres

Tests and Rating Methods

Corrosion

FRAMECAD© 47

Service Life of Electrodeposited Zinc- Average Atmospheric Corrosion Rates:

Industrial 5.6 ìm/year Urban non-industrial or marine 1.5 ìm/year

Suburban 1.3 ìm/year Rural 0.8 ìm/year

Indoors less than 0.5ìm

For fasteners, the most widely used guide for rating and selecting coatings is the relative

performance in the Salt Spray Testing (see below for definition). Although this test is not an

indication of field life, it does give the specifier knowledge of how a finish compares to other

types of finishes.

When selecting fasteners, you need to consider the field conditions and the relative level of

finish performance desired. FRAMECAD offer screws with different coating Salt Spray Test (SST)

ratings varying from 24hrs or 48hrs for internal dry applications such as drywall linings through

to 1000hrs and 2000hrs for exterior metal cladding & roofing applications. For steel framing

assembly & erection we recommend the use of 1000hrs rated (equivalent to ‘Class 3’ per AS

3566.2) products.

Testing Methods

The relative performance of the various corrosion protection methods is determined by

standard laboratory testing. While these tests cannot predict installed service life, they are an

important part of fastener manufacturer’s quality control program and help the fastener

specifier understand the relative performance of various coatings.

Corrosion Testing Methods

Salt Spray Test (SST)

-Measure in Hours

In this test, fasteners are placed in a sealed cabinet and exposed to an

atmospheric mixture of distilled water (H2O) and 5% sodium chloride (NaCl). One

hundred percent relative humidity is maintained in the test cabinet at a

temperature of 100° F. The testing is continuous 24 hours per day, all per ASTM

standard B-117. Fasteners are periodically inspected for corrosion. The test

results are reported as hours of exposure to first appearance of rust.

Kesternich Test

-Measured in Cycles

This method is much more severe than salt spray testing by simulating the

conditions a finish encounters when exposed to a heavy industrial atmosphere.

Sulphur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxide (NO2) are introduced at a rate of 2

litres per cycle into an atmosphere of 100% humidity within a test chamber.

These gases, when combined with water, form sulphurous acid (H2So3) and

nitric acid (HNO3), respectively. One cycle consists of twelve hours wet, with the

cabinet closed, and twelve hours dry, with the cabinet open, all per DIN Standard

50018. Results are usually reported as the number of cycles (24 hour periods) the

fastener endures with less than 5% red rust. This is the preferred test method for

roofing fasteners which are required to meet Factory Mutual Standard 4470.

E-Coat

E-Coat is the latest generation in screw coating / corrosion resistance technology and addresses

many of the past issues associated with standard coatings such as recess fill and abrasion.

E-Coat advantages:

• No recess fill enabling more torque transmission due to higher driver engagement

• A thinner film build, which doesn’t clog threads. This allows screws to be driven with

less effort

• 1000 hr + SST Corrosion protection

• Scratch and Chip Resistant increasing service life as the protective coating is much less

likely to be damaged during installation

• Environmentally friendly application method
