Wood Screw 1/4 x 6-3/4 in Hex Head Corrosion Resistant

is a versatile structural fastener designed for wood-to-wood connections, serving as an alternative to carriage or through bolts. It is ideal for various applications, including multiple beams, girder trusses, deck posts, and many situations where traditional carriage or through-bolts are typically utilized. Professional contractors across the country use to comply with building codes and reduce expenses when securing deck posts. The screw features a hex head drive system and a uniquely crafted paddle point, enabling it to penetrate even the toughest lumber without causing splits. The galvanized washer aids in evenly distributing the load, while the nut is equipped with specially designed teeth that enable it to grip the wood without requiring a wrench. To install, detach the pre-assembled nut from the screw and drive the screw and washer into the outer face of the application until the screw is 1/4 inch to 1/8 inch from being flush. Next, screw the nut onto the exposed threaded end of the fastener. Firmly twist the nut by hand until it is snug, then continue driving the screw until it is tight. For detailed installation instructions and fastening patterns based on your specific application, consult the installation guide. The package includes one 6-3/4 inch system. In 2011, it became the first fastener to substitute for carriage and through-bolts, saving countless hours for thousands of professionals on job sites since then.
