Horizontal Installation for Steel or Wood
SWD SWDR SWT SWG
  • SWD - Drills & taps through 3/16" metal
  • SWDR - Drills & taps through 3/16" metal, accepts retainer nut
  • SWT - Drills & taps through ½" metal
  • SWG - Drills & taps into wooden structures.
  1. Insert the #14 SW nut driver in the drill unit (Fig 11).
  2. Insert the screw into the nut driver (Fig 12).
  3. With drill unit in a horizontal position and at a right angle to the structural member begin installation (Fig 13). When the nut driver spins free on the screw, stop and remove the drill.

The unit is now ready to receive ¼", " or metric all thread rod or bolt stock (Fig 14). Be sure rod is threaded completely through unit head. for maximum pullout in purlin steel.

Note for SWDR: When installing SWDR follow the above instructions, then add retainer nut and torque to 20 foot lbs.

 

Horizontal Installation for Concrete
SWC
Self tapping into concrete  Use a 1200 maximum RPM drill for installation
  1. Using a SDS 250 carbide tip bit or a HEX RECEIVER with a #250 carbide tip bit, predrill the concrete member to a depth of 2" with an impact/drill set on impact mode (Figs 15 & 16).
  2. After pre-drilling has been completed, with the bit still in the drill, install the SLEEVE TOOL over the bit (Fig 17).
  3. Insert the #14SW nut driver into the opposite end. Install the SWC screw into the nut driver (Fig 18). You are now ready to install the screw into the concrete member.
  4. Place tip of screw into the pre-drilled hole (Fig 19), turn impact/drill unit to drill mode and begin insertion. When the nut driver spins free on the SWC screw, installation is complete. Stop and remove drill.
  5. The SWC screw is ready to receive ¼", ", ½", or metric all thread rod or bolt stock.
Note: Do not install concrete screws while the drill unit is in impact mode — doing so will destroy the pullout factor of the fastener.
