Tools and Techniques
| Use a 0-2500 RPM, 6 amp min. rated screwgun or cordless drill to install fasteners to wood and steel substrates. Use a hammer drill or rotary hammer to install Tapcon masonry anchors. |
| Seat Grid-Mate PB washers flush with or maximum 1/16" below insulation surface. Overdriving Grid-Mates may damage the washer and insulation. |
| Fasteners must penetrate steel substrates a minimum of 3 pitches of threads. |
| Replace worn or damaged bit tips to prevent damage to fastener head and its finish. |
| Consult EIFS system manufacturers specifications for appropriate fasteners spacing. |
