300400 ConFast™ Nail Point Countersunk Concrete Screws

• Featuring a Nail point to assist in aligning the holes, unique dual thread with relief notches which minimize driving torque and operator effort
• Featuring a Nail point to assist in aligning the holes, unique dual thread with relief notches which minimize driving torque and operator effort
• Can be used closer to edges than expansion type anchors.
• Extremely fast and easy to install
• Can be immediately loaded after installation, no downtime waiting for curing etc.,
• Can be hand or power driven, are easy to remove and can be re-fastened into the same hole
• High corrosion resistant Galvanized coating designed for use externally

Step 1:-
Select the correct size IDEAL Fasteners Carbide drill bit for your chosen diameter and length of ConFast™ Nail Point screw.
Note: If the fixture being attached is likely to damage the screws' threads (e.g. thick steel) a clearance hole must first be drilled through it.
The clearance hole must have a diameter of at least greater than the outside diameter of the thread on the ConFast™ Nail Point screw whilst small enough to allow sufficient bearing area for the ConFast™ Nail Point screw head.

Step 2:-
Using a Rotary Hammer tool or a suitable Impact tool, drill a hole into the concrete or masonry substrate to a depth of at least that of your maximum intended embedment depth of the ConFast™ Nail Point screw PLUS an additional depth of at least 1 to 1.5 times the diameter of the specific ConFast™ Nail Point screw being used.

Step 3:-
Using a blow pump or vacuum, clean the hole until all dust and/or contaminants have been exhausted.

Step 4 :-
Using a wire brush, brush out the hole thoroughly.

Step 5:-
Repeat Step 2.

Step 6:-
With the fixture in place insert the ConFast™ Nail Point screw through the hole in the fixture and into the hole in the substrate.

Step 7:-
Ensure the correct size driver tool is attached to your power drill or driver and place it onto the head of the ConFast™ Nail Point screw

Step 8:-
Rotate the driving tool slowly in a clockwise direction with firm end load pressure until the self tapping action of the threads in the substrate has commenced and the ConFast™ Nail Point screw starts taking a firm hold.

Step 9:-
Tighten the fastener until the connection is a snug fit between the fastener head, the fixture and the substrate and firmly secured, DO NOT over torque the ConFast™ Nail Point screw during installation .
If excessive resistance or driving torque is encountered during the installation process stop driving, reverse the ConFast™ Nail Point screw one or two turns and then re-tighten.
DO NOT overdrive the ConFast™ Nail Point screw when seating it home.

• Typical applications include fixing signs, brackets, timber battens, etc. to concrete, solid brick, hollow brick, solid & hollow block.
• The corrosion resistant coating makes them suitable for external use.
