Description:
The Duro-Last
®
Auger Fastener is made from glass-filled
nylon with an internal square drive. A specially designed
plate and fastener combination is manufactured with one
way tabs on the underside of the fastener head that lock
into the ratchet teeth of the 2 inch (52 mm) metal plate.
The 2 inch (52 mm) metal plate is manufactured with
barbs that maximize membrane holding power.
The auger fasteners are designed to attach insulation and
roofing membrane to cementitious wood fiber, gypsum,
and lightweight concrete decks. The auger fasteners
surpass the FM 4470 specifications
Installation:
1. A 7/16 inch (12 mm) - 9/16 (14 mm) pilot hole is
required on gypsum and lightweight concrete decks
depending on density of the deck. No pilot hole is
required on cementitious wood fiber decks unless
overlaying an existing roof system in which case a hole
must be drilled thru the roof system to the top of the
roof deck.
2. Penetration into the deck is 1.5 inch (38 mm),
minimum.
3. Install the fastener with a 1/4
inch (6.3 mm)
square-drive bit. One bit is supplied in each box of
Auger fasteners.
Note:
•
On Factory Mutual insured projects, penetration is
2 inch (51 mm), minimum.
•
Duro-Last, Inc. stocks auger fasteners in the sizes
noted in the table to the right. Additional sizes, up to
14 inch (356 mm), are available on a drop ship basis.
