SPECIAL NOTES - ITW BUILDEX

1 SPECIAL NOTESE ngineering NoteIn 1996, the anchors listed by UL were tested in plate steel that measured .188 and .118. Subsequent testing was done for z-purlin applications in May 1997 using (.037) or 20 gauge steel. Most recently in 2008, testing with the new Sammy X-Press was completed using (.030) or 22 gauge steel metal Nut DriversSpecial nut drivers were designed to be used with Sammys. When the appropriate nut drivers are used for installation, the driver spins free on the screw after installation is complete and eliminates the expected wrist snap, reduces over-torque, and prevents screw ScrewsDue to variations in hardness of certain metals, it should be noted that our self-drilling screws for steel will experience different drill speeds. 500-1500 RPM drill speed should be used. Metric ProductsMetric versions of the Sammy anchors are available at EnvironmentsFor attaching or anchoring in high vibratory environments, SPECIAL care should be taken not just for building attachments but also the hangers or assemblies being supported.

2 Consult local code authorities for accepted anchoring Joist/TrussTruss manufacturers vary installation recommendations for composite joist. UL testing was completed to validate that Sammys and Sidewinders SWG 20 and SWG 25-380 can be installed into the top cord of a truss. Sammy GST 20 can be installed into the center of the lower cord of a composite joist. Penetration of the upright center web is permitted by some joist manufacturers. Consult truss manufacturer for recommended installation point. Pre-drilling may be required by joist manufacturers. If so, pre-drill pilot hole 1/8 smaller than root diamter of fastener. Consult the table below:To increase efficiency of the installation process, sleeve tools, bit receivers, and wood bits are available for StandardsAll UL and FM testing complies with NFPA 13 and NEC standards.
