300400 ConFast™ Nail Point Countersunk Concrete Screws

ConFast™ Nail Point Concrete screws are designed for use in light to medium duty applications fixing to concrete, brickwork, hollow block, aerated concrete etc., Fast and easy to install the screw taps its own mating thread directly in the masonry with no plastic plugs required. Can be quickly removed and re-fastened in the same hole which allows easy access for maintenance or other purposes. If permanently removed there is no damage to the substrate leaving only the small drill hole.

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.
