Installation Tools

STEP 1:
A standard screw gun with a depth sensitive nosepiece should be used to install Teks. For optimal fastener performance, the screw gun should be a minimum of 6 amps and have an RPM range of 0-2500.

STEP 2:
Adjust the screw gun nosepiece to properly seat the fastener.

STEP 3:
Worn or damaged bit tip should be replaced.

STEP 4:
The fastener is fully seated when the head is flush with the work surface.

STEP 5:
Overdriving may result in torsional failure of the fastener or strip out of the substrate.

STEP 6:
The fastener must penetrate beyond the metal structure a minimum of 3 pitches of thread.

STEP 7:
All #10 diameter “winged” parts must be driven into a minimum of 16 ga. steel thickness.

STEP 8:
All ¼ and #12 diameter “winged” parts must be driven into a minimum of 1/8” steel in order to break the wings consistently.
