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.

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)

FRAMECAD© 9

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.

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.

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”

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.

Fastening to Metal
For successful connection, the screw must be of
sufficient length to ensure at least 3 threads are
protruding through the fastened material and the drill
point length must be greater than the total thickness
of metal being fastened into
Note
Caution must be taken when tightening screws.
Screws must be fully tightened however caution must
be taken not to “over tighten” as this can lead to the
thread being stripped, significantly affecting the connection and load capacities.
Installation Guidelines:
• Use a quality brand impact driver or screw gun.
• Suggested screw gun specification for optimal performance is 4 amps minimum, with an
RPM range of 0 to 2,500.
• The screw is fully seated when the head is flush with the work surface.
• Overdriving may result in failure of the fastener or strip out of the work surface.
• The fastener must penetrate beyond the metal a minimum of three thread pitches.

EPDM Washer Installation
• Do not overdrive. Over–compression will damage the washer and reduce its
effectiveness
TOO LOOSE
Sealing material is not visible; not enough compression to seal
CORRECT
Sealing material slightly visible at edge of washer - assembly is water tight
TOO TIGHT
Washer is deformed; sealing material pressed beyond fastener edge
EPDM Washers
Using high quality EPDM washers is a critical part of having a watertight roof. Because washers
are small and relatively inexpensive, their importance in a roofing project is sometimes
overlooked. A poor quality washer can result in enormous costs if it is made of inferior material.
The washer is vital in maintaining the integrity of the roofing system. A failure in the washer can
mean at best replacement of the screws, or at worst, considerable damage to the entire roof
and building structure. FRAMECAD uses only premium EPDM compounds for its range of
roofing screws, ensuring a high quality fastening solution for steel framed roofs.
FRAMECAD roofing screws incorporate the use of ‘DEKS’ EPDM washers. Deks quality roofing
washers are chosen globally by major fastening suppliers to ensure their fastening systems
provide a weather-tight seal against wind, rain, heat and sunlight.

Design
FRAMECAD’s washer design ensures sealing at ALL points of contact between screw and roofing
sheet. The illustration below shows how the washer has a clear advantage over conventional
washer designs.
Multi-Seal
1. Protects and seals under the head
2. Protects against the shank
3. Protects against the roof sheet
4. Protects around the perimeter
Standard bonded metal washer
Normally hidden from sight, a cross section
shows how basic washers rely on ineffective
metal to metal contact, which can never
guarantee 100% effective waterproofing.
The least costly product can sometimes be
the most expensive if it fails
Material
Although washers tend to look the same, chemical analysis shows that their performance
differs dramatically. Only a premium EPDM compound is suitable for use on metal roofs,
particularly if the washer and fastener are powder coated and baked after assembly.
Conductivity
Carbon black added to the washer material provides important qualities such as UV and ozone
resistance, but too much can create corrosion problems by creating an electrical pathway
between the roofing sheet and the screw. Carbon black is often over-used in EPDM compounds
by manufacturers because it is cheap. FRAMECAD’s washers have just the right threshold level
of carbon black that eliminates conductivity in their washers and are supplied standard as non-
conductive.

Winged Drill Points are screws with 2 wing like tabs located just above the drill point. When
fixing fibre cement or engineered timber cladding such as plywood or OSB etc to steel that is
0.75mm (or thicker) it is important to use a screw that has wings. The wings create a clearance
hole removing the requirement to pre-drill holes. The clearance hole maintains the screw
rotation speed and allows the drill tip to penetrate the steel quickly with-out ‘jacking’ (lifting)
and potentially weakening or cracking the board
Installation Guidelines
• Driver speed recommendation 2500rpm
• Driving too slowly may result in failure of wings to break off

Corrosion Resistance
Corrosion resistance is an extremely important factor to consider when purchasing screws, and
is often over looked when putting a structure together. Moisture, airborne chemicals and
pollutants all can combine to reduce the life of carbon steel fasteners through the process of
corrosion, threatening the integrity of the structure.
When choosing a screw, careful attention needs to be paid to the application it is being used for
and the level of exposure to the elements it will receive. Questions such as; “is the project in a
coastal area subject to salt laden air, or is it in an urban area where acid rain will attack exterior
components of the building?”, also “how long will the structure be under construction,
exposing interior components to the elements prior to the building being enclosed?” all need to
be considered.
There are also unique aspects of light gauge steel that will impact structures differently than
other building materials. The shape of the common steel track section can act as a trough
during construction, collecting rainwater and morning dew and the type and location of
thermal insulation used in the wall system and the relative humidity can result in water vapour
condensing within exterior walls. Also, since steel framing members are inherently straight and
true, it is easier to attain quality construction with less air infiltration through walls. This
reduced air movement in wall cavities can cause moisture to accumulate, corroding steel studs
and fasteners, if protection is not provided.
Unlike many building components for which the designer can look to codes or industry
standards for guidance, these sources offer little help with the issue of fastener corrosion. Most
codes are very general, requiring fasteners to have a corrosion resistant treatment with no
further detail.
A better guide to go by may be found in the results of long range testing that has been
conducted by ASTM and other organizations to determine the corrosion behaviour of zinc
coatings (Zinc being the most common coating used to protect the screw from corrosion). The
service life of zinc coating – and hence the corrosion protection of the screw, is a function of its
thickness and the type of environment to which it is exposed.
On the following page is the result of worldwide testing comparing the behaviour of
electrodeposited zinc in various atmospheres
Tests and Rating Methods
Corrosion
FRAMECAD© 47
www.framecad.com
Service Life of Electrodeposited Zinc- Average Atmospheric Corrosion Rates:
Industrial 5.6 ìm/year Urban non-industrial or marine 1.5 ìm/year
Suburban 1.3 ìm/year Rural 0.8 ìm/year
Indoors less than 0.5ìm
For fasteners, the most widely used guide for rating and selecting coatings is the relative
performance in the Salt Spray Testing (see below for definition). Although this test is not an
indication of field life, it does give the specifier knowledge of how a finish compares to other
types of finishes.
When selecting fasteners, you need to consider the field conditions and the relative level of
finish performance desired. FRAMECAD offer screws with different coating Salt Spray Test (SST)
ratings varying from 24hrs or 48hrs for internal dry applications such as drywall linings through
to 1000hrs and 2000hrs for exterior metal cladding & roofing applications. For steel framing
assembly & erection we recommend the use of 1000hrs rated (equivalent to ‘Class 3’ per AS
3566.2) products.
Testing Methods
The relative performance of the various corrosion protection methods is determined by
standard laboratory testing. While these tests cannot predict installed service life, they are an
important part of fastener manufacturer’s quality control program and help the fastener
specifier understand the relative performance of various coatings.
Corrosion Testing Methods
Salt Spray Test (SST)
-Measure in Hours
In this test, fasteners are placed in a sealed cabinet and exposed to an
atmospheric mixture of distilled water (H2O) and 5% sodium chloride (NaCl). One
hundred percent relative humidity is maintained in the test cabinet at a
temperature of 100° F. The testing is continuous 24 hours per day, all per ASTM
standard B-117. Fasteners are periodically inspected for corrosion. The test
results are reported as hours of exposure to first appearance of rust.
Kesternich Test
-Measured in Cycles
This method is much more severe than salt spray testing by simulating the
conditions a finish encounters when exposed to a heavy industrial atmosphere.
Sulphur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxide (NO2) are introduced at a rate of 2
litres per cycle into an atmosphere of 100% humidity within a test chamber.
These gases, when combined with water, form sulphurous acid (H2So3) and
nitric acid (HNO3), respectively. One cycle consists of twelve hours wet, with the
cabinet closed, and twelve hours dry, with the cabinet open, all per DIN Standard
50018. Results are usually reported as the number of cycles (24 hour periods) the
fastener endures with less than 5% red rust. This is the preferred test method for
roofing fasteners which are required to meet Factory Mutual Standard 4470.

E-Coat
E-Coat is the latest generation in screw coating / corrosion resistance technology and addresses
many of the past issues associated with standard coatings such as recess fill and abrasion.
E-Coat advantages:
• No recess fill enabling more torque transmission due to higher driver engagement
• A thinner film build, which doesn’t clog threads. This allows screws to be driven with
less effort
• 1000 hr + SST Corrosion protection
• Scratch and Chip Resistant increasing service life as the protective coating is much less
likely to be damaged during installation
• Environmentally friendly application method
