All-thread Rod Anchoring Systems


VERTICAL

 

Important Installation Procedures
Sammy Super Screw® (vertical mount) have been tested for straight pullout. Sidewinders™ (horizontal mount) have been tested for shear. Installing any of the units and then deflecting the receiver head more than 15 degrees could result in weakening of the unit or separation (see chart for deflection guide).

Any deflecting beyond 15 degrees nullifies the warranty. Each unit must be installed with the appropriate nut driver. Our nut drivers (#14 and, #14SW), have a built-in automatic release mechanism to prevent over-tightening. If other tools are used for installation, the warranty is void.

 

Important Vertical Installation Notes
Warranty requires the use of appropriate nut drivers for installation. Use the specifications below.

Vertical Installation for Steel or Wood
DST DSTR TEK 50 GST
  • DST - Self drilling & tapping into steel up to 3/16" thick.
  • DSTR - Self drilling & self tapping into steel up to 3/16" thickness with retainer nut.
  • TEK 50 - Self drilling & self tapping in steel up to ½" thick.
  • GST - Self drilling & self tapping into wooden structural member.
  1. Insert the appropriate nut driver (see Vertical Installation Notes) into a " or ½" portable drill as shown in Fig 1.
  2. Insert screw into nut driver (Fig 2).
  3. With the drill in a vertical position, push the face of the nut driver tight to the member (Fig 3). When the nut driver spins freely on the screw, stop and remove the drill.

The screw is now ready to receive ¼", ", ½" or metric all thread rod or bolt stock (Fig 4).

Note for DSTR: When installing DSTR follow the above instructions, then add retainer nut and torque to 20 foot-lbs for maximum pullout in purlin steel.

 

Vertical Installation for Concrete
CST
  • Self tapping into concrete
  • Use a 1200 maximum RPM drill for installation
  1. Using SDS 250,  carbide tip bit, or a HEX RECEIVER with a #250 carbide tip bit, pre-drill the concrete member to a depth of 2" with an electric impact/drill set on impact mode (Figs 5 & 6).
  2. After pre-drilling has been completed, with the bit still in the drill, install the SLEEVE TOOL over the bit, and insert the appropriate nut driver (see Vertical Installation Notes) into the opposite end (Fig 7).
  3. Insert the concrete screw into the nut driver (Fig 8). Now you are ready to install the screw into the concrete member.
  4. Place tip of screw into the pre-drilled hole, turn impact/drill unit to drill mode and begin insertion (Fig 9). When the nut driver spins free on the screw, installation is complete. Stop and remove the drill.

The concrete screw is ready to receive ¼", ", ½", or metric all thread rod or bolt stock (Fig 10).

Note: Do not install concrete screws while the drill unit is in impact mode — doing so will destroy the pullout factor of the screw.

 

Vertical Installation for Toggle
SST
  • For use in sheetrock ceilings, metal lath & plaster, metal liners, thin wood, ceiling panels, etc.
  • The SST is a light duty fastener and should be used with consideration.
  1. Pre-drill a " hole with a regular drill bit or hole saw.
  2. Insert appropriate nut driver (Model #14 for SST) into light duty drill or screw gun.
  3. With wing nut and washer on bolt, insert wing nut through surface and begin installation. When the nut driver spins free on the screw, stop and remove the drill.

The screw is now ready to receive ¼", " or metric all thread rod or bolt stock.
