The screws <br />have either a hex washer head (HWH), an HWH with <br />serrations, or a Phillips° (Type II) pan head. The screws are <br />fully threaded with threads that comply with ASME B18.6.4, <br />and the screws' drill points and flutes are proprietary and are <br />designated as TEKS/1, TEKS/2, TEKS/3, TEKS/4, <br />TEKS/4.5, TEKS/5.0 and TEKS/5. The screws have nominal <br />sizes of No.10 (0.190 inch), No.12 (0.216 inch), and inch <br />(0.250 inch), and lengths from inch to 4 inches (12.7 mm <br />to 102 mm). See Figures 1 through 3 for depictions of the <br />screws. Table 1 provides screw descriptions (size, tpi, <br />length), nominal diameters, head style, head diameters, <br />point styles, drilling capacity ranges, length of load -bearing <br />area, minimum required protrusion lengths and coatings. <br />Reissued July 2022 <br />This report is subject to renewal July 2024. <br />3.2 Material: <br />ITW Buildex TEKS° Self -drilling Fasteners are case- <br />hardened from carbon steel conforming to ASTM A510, <br />Grades 1018 to 1022, and are heat -treated and case- <br />hardened to give them a hard outer surface necessary to cut <br />internal threads in the joint material. Screws are coated with <br />corrosion preventive coating identified as Climaseal°, or are <br />plated with electrodeposited zinc (E-Zinc) complying with <br />the minimum corrosion resistance requirements of ASTM <br />F1941. <br />3.3 Cold -formed Steel: <br />Cold -formed steel material must comply with one of the <br />ASTM specifications listed in Section A3.1 of AISI S100 <br />(Section A2.1 of AISI S100 for the 2015 and 2012 IBC) and <br />have the minimum specified tensile strengths shown in the <br />tables in this report. <br />4.0 DESIGN AND INSTALLATION <br />4.1 Design: <br />4.1.1 General: Selection of screw length must be based <br />on the thickness of the fastened steel members plus the <br />minimum required protrusion past the back of the supporting <br />steel. Point selection must be based on the drilling capacity <br />of the screw. See Table 1 for minimum required protrusion <br />lengths and drilling capacities. <br />When tested for corrosion resistance in accordance with <br />ASTM 13117, the screws meet the minimum requirement <br />listed in ASTM F1941, as required by ASTM C1513, with no <br />white corrosion after three hours and no red rust after 12 <br />hours. <br />4.1.2 Prescriptive Design: ITW Buildex TEKS Self -drilling <br />Fasteners described in Section 3.1 may be used where <br />ASTM C1513 screws of the same size and head <br />style/dimension are prescribed in the IRC and in the AISI <br />standards referenced in IBC Section 2211 for steel -to -steel <br />connections. <br />4.1.3 Engineered Design: ITW Buildex TEKS° Self - <br />drilling Fasteners may be used in engineered connections <br />of cold -formed steel construction. Design of the connection <br />must comply with Section J4 of AISI S100 (Section E4 of <br />AISI S100 for the 2015 and 2012 IBC), using the nominal <br />and allowable fastener tension and shear strength for the <br />screws, shown in Table 5. Allowable connection strength for <br />use in Allowable Strength Design (ASD) for pull-out, <br />pullover, and shear (bearing) capacity for common sheet <br />steel thicknesses are provided in Tables 2, 3, and 4, <br />ICC-ES Evaluation Reports are not to be construed as representing aesthetics or any other attributes not specifically addressed, nor are they to be construed d <br />as an endorsement of the subject of the report or a recommendation for its use.
