ESSVE Wood screw H-FT is primarily intended for large screw connections in mass timber, for instance CLT, glulam, LVL etc. The smaller screws in the product group are of course also suitable for use in traditional structural timber. The shape of the screw head and shaft makes it ideal for use with steel plates and wood connectors, either with or without a washer.
This screw is also compatible with lifting clutch T-LIFT that is used to lift mass timber elements on the construction site. The lifting clutch easily handles elements that are either tilting or rotating. The lifting clutch can be re-used after visual inspection, but the screw cannot be re-used for lifting more than one element.
Description
ESSVE Wood screw H-FT has a hexagon head with TX-drive. It has a full thread. For permanent installations the screw is intended for indoor use and is made of hardened steel with bright zinc plating (min. 5 µm), C1.
ESSVE Wood screw H-FT is CE marked thru ETA-22/0789 which permits installation with shorter edge distances than what is given in Eurocode 5.
Assembly
Installation is possible with either socket or TX-drive. Avoid overtightening the screw after the screw head meets the steel plate so that wooden fibers around the thread are not destroyed, with a loss of load capacity.
