FAQ'S

A comprehensive list of our most frequently asked questions.

E-Z PRODUCTS

What type of screw should be used with E-Z Toggle?
The screw included with the wing-nut assembly is an #8 X 2-1/8" blunt-point sheet metal screw. We suggest this screw for consistent performance of the assembly.

How much weight will an E-Z Anocr hold?
E-Z Ancors have been tested in 3/8", ½" and 5/8" single-ply drywall. See our EZ-Anchor product page to review ultimate pullout performance data.

FLASHINGS

Can Dektite be used over an asphalt built-up roof?
No. Dektite products are designed for use on metal roofs only. Elastomers, such as EPDM, are not compatible with petroleum based materials, such as asphalt.

How many SCOTS fasteners are required to attach a #9 Dektite?
The number of fasteners can be estimated by multiplying the Dektite base diameter by 3. Based on a 1-1/2" recommended spacing between fasteners, and a flashing base diameter of 25", it would take 50 SCOTS fasteners to attach a #9 Dektite.

Will Dektite work with a square pipe?
Yes. Click here (PDF - 130KB) for proper installation guidelines.

What is the most common fastener used with the Dektite?
We suggest SCOTS Teks® self-drilling fasteners for attaching Dektite to a metal roof.

How many linear feet of sealant is produced from a 10.3 oz. tube?
A 10.3 oz. tube will provide 24 feet of ¼" diameter beading.

Can Dektite be used to flash a pipe on a roof with a 25 degree pitch?
Yes. When used on roofs where pitch is steeper than 20 degrees, or when used on deep-ribbed profile roof panel (1-1/2" deep corrugation or more), consider using next larger size Dektite that will accommodate the same pipe diameter.

TEKS®

What approvals does Buildex have for Teks fasteners?
The following approvals are available as PDF files: ICC ER3056, ICC ESR 1976, FM Global Approval, File Number (J.I. 2 X 9A2 AM).

Is a fastener with thread pitch of 14 threads per inch appropriate for fastening into steel thicker than 1/4"?
No. Typically coarse threaded fasteners are not appropriate for heavy steel, use a 12-24 Teks 4 or 5.

When installing a Teks 5 fastener, what is the suggested RPM?
For optimal fastener performance, the screw gun should be a minimum of 6 amps and use a maximum speed of 1800 RPM.
