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.

Identifying a Screw

Understanding Screw Length

FRAMECAD© 9

www.framecad.com

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)

Screw Head Types

FRAMECAD© 10

www.framecad.com

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.

FRAMECAD© 11

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.

Identifying a Screw

Screw Driver Types

FRAMECAD© 12

www.framecad.com

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”

Identifying a Screw

Screw Point Types

FRAMECAD© 13

www.framecad.com

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.
