610105 TrussMates™ CA Point Truss Locating Screws
Designed for use in thin steel Truss manufacturing in steel frame housing in pre punched holes of 6.50mm diameter. The unique Trilobular shank ensures a low driving torque with high withdrawal strength in thin steel applications and are 5/16" diameter for high shear strength. They feature CA point for easy location even if the holes are mis-aligned, 5/16" diameter for high shear strength and a standard 5/16" head drive allowing for one tool to be used across a wide range of steel frame fixings.
• Feature a CA point for easy location even if the holes are mis-aligned.
• High withdrawal strength
• High vibration resistance
• High strip torque
• Low driving torque
• Extremely high shear strength
• Easy to instal with less tool wear and operator fatigue.
• Serrations under the head lock into the steel and further assist in vibration resistance
• High corrosion resistant coating suitable for use both internally and externally
• Complies with AS3566.1 & 2

The recommended hole diameters can vary dependent upon the total thickness of materials being fastened together.
For thinner materials a smaller hole size is recommended as this will give a higher % of thread engagement.
For thicker materials a larger hole size is recommended as this will give lower driving torque with a lower % of thread engagement.
For the majority of steel truss manufacturing with Steel thicknesses up to 1.00~1.50mm the recommended hole size for 5/16" TrussMates™ is 6.50mm
Several factors may require a variation from the recommended hole size if using TrussMates™ in other applications and these include:-
• higher steel thicknesses
• harder steels
• tolerances on hole diameters and irregular shaped holes can vary on different machines
• the choice of % of thread engagement (which is at the installers/manufacturers discretion)
In these cases it is recommended for a pre-test to be conducted to confirm the most suitable hole size and type for your specific application.
The pre-test should involve several hole sizes being tested using a capture method whereby holes that are too large can be identified by having too low a driving torque and holes that are too small will have too high a driving torque and may stall the screwdriver, snap the screw or cause operator injury.
