Self-Tapping Cinder Block Screws Hex Washer Head, Blue Ruspert, 3/16" & 1/4" Diameter
[Features]
Self-Tapping Thread Design
- — Cuts its own mating threads directly into cinder block, concrete, brick, and CMU walls; eliminates the need for plastic anchors or expansion sleeves, reducing installation time by up to 40%.
Hi-Lo Dual Thread Geometry
- — Alternating high and low thread profile maximizes holding power in hollow-core cinder blocks while preventing spalling and blowout at the block face. Typical pull-out values exceed 800 lbf in solid concrete (1/4" diameter at 1-1/4" embedment).
Blue Ruspert Corrosion Protection
- — 1,000-hour salt spray rated triple-layer coating (zinc electroplating + chromate passivation + organic topcoat); compliant with ASTM B117 requirements for exterior and humid environment applications.
T25 Torx Drive Recess
- — Six-lobe drive engagement eliminates cam-out and delivers consistent torque transfer during power installation; compatible with standard impact drivers for high-volume jobsite productivity.
Serrated Bearing Surface (Hex Washer Head)
- — Integrated washer face with under-head serrations locks against the fixture surface, preventing vibration-induced loosening in HVAC, electrical, and plumbing applications.
Precision-Cut Lead-in Point
- — CNC-ground chisel point starts engagement in the pilot hole without walking; reduced entry torque compared to standard concrete screw tips.
