An externally threaded, hardened screw with a double lead, consisting of alternating raised and lowered threads with notches cut into the raised threads, and a diamond-shaped, nail-type point. Cuts its own threads and when used in concrete, block or brick. Eliminates the need for an anchor when used in light or medium-duty applications. When used in concrete, it can be removed and re-driven into the same hole. Special carbide bits are recommended for driving concrete screws into masonry. Some applications include anchoring the following to masonry: electrical junction boxes, wooden beams, plywood, exterior insulation, metal flashing, thresholds. The Ruspert finish is a ceramic coating that also allows these fasteners to be used in pressure-treated lumber. ANCHOR SPACING: Concrete screws should be installed a minimum of ten anchor diameters between each other. They have an advantage over most other types of masonry anchors in that they can be installed close to the edge of the material in which they are installed. DEPTH OF HOLE: Hole should be of a depth equal to the requird embediment plus 1/2 inch.
