Red rust corrosion failure of the fastener will be deemed to have occurred when the fastener has red rust corrosion on the head of the fastener.
This warranty DOES NOT APPLY to any fasteners exposed to corrosive or aggressive atmospheric conditions including, but not limited to, areas subject to tide or salt water, fallout or exposure to corrosive chemicals, ash, fumes, nuclear radiation, acid rain, or where corrosive fumes or condensates are generated or released inside the building.
This warranty DOES NOT APPLY if the failure was caused by improper application of the fastener, use of faulty or worn sockets, in-transit or job site damage, improper installation of the fastener, external forces, explosions, fires, "acts of God", or natural disasters.

Dimensions are nominal inches unless noted. Self-drill pull out values (pounds ultimate) are based on 57,000 psi hot rolled steel material. Lap self-drill pull out values are based on 40,000 PSI AZ55 Galvalume steel sheet material. Ultimate values listed are the result of laboratory testing (5083.14). The specific job conditions should be considered and appropriate safety factors applied when specifying the proper fasteners. #12 fasteners 1" and longer have special long pilot lengths to accommodate nested purlins.
Tools: 0 – 2000 rpm screw gun equipped with depth sensing nose piece.
Use of impact guns or hammer drills is not recommended.
