One of the most significant advantages of using metal deck fasteners is their speed and ease of installation. Traditional methods of connecting metal panels, such as welding or bolting, can be time-consuming and labor-intensive. In contrast, metal deck fasteners can be installed quickly and easily, reducing the overall construction time and cost. This makes them an ideal choice for contractors and builders who need to complete projects on schedule and within budget.

The terms 3% and 4% often relate to the percentage of the anchor bolt’s yield strength in relation to the concrete’s compressive strength. For example, a 3% concrete anchor bolt means that the bolt can withstand loads up to 3% of the concrete's yield strength, while a 4% bolt can handle loads up to 4%. This distinction is vital for engineers and contractors, as it influences load calculations, safety factors, and the overall design of the structure.
