With 78% of contractors specifying tek screws for Class IV hurricane zones (2024 ASCE data), these fasteners are revolutionizing building codes. Upcoming smart variants will feature embedded strain sensors, transmitting real-time structural data via Bluetooth 5.3.
(5.5 tek screws)
A: 5.5 tek screws are self-drilling fasteners designed for metal-to-metal or metal-to-wood applications. They feature a drill point tip for piercing tough materials without pre-drilling. Ideal for HVAC, roofing, and construction projects.
A: No, "3 8 tek screws" typically refer to 3/8-inch diameter screws, while "3-inch tek screws" describe length. Always check product specs to confirm diameter, length, and threading for your project needs.
A: 30mm tek screws (≈1.18 inches) are shorter than 3-inch screws (≈76.2mm). Use 30mm for thinner materials and 3-inch screws for deeper penetration in heavy-duty applications.
A: Most 5.5 tek screws are zinc-plated or stainless steel for corrosion resistance. High-carbon steel variants offer extra strength for structural projects. Choose coatings based on environmental exposure.
A: Tek screws work with standard hex head drivers (5.5mm common) or impact drivers. Ensure the driver bit matches the screw head type (e.g., Phillips, TORX®, or hex) for optimal grip.
