FASTENER SELECTION GUIDE
CORRECT
Sealing material slightly
visible at edge of metal
washer. Assembly is
watertight.
TOO LOOSE
Sealing material is not
visible; not enough
compression to
seal properly.
TOO TIGHT
Metal washer deformed; sealing
material pressed beyond washer
edge.
RECOMMENDED TOOL TYPE - Use depth locating nose or adjustable clutch on screw gun to prevent overdrilling and
strip out. DO NOT USE IMPACT TOOLS OR RUNNERS.
SEATING THE WASHER - Apply sufficient torque to seat the washer - do not overdrive the fastener.
TO PREVENT WOBBLING - Make sure fastener head is completely engaged in the socket. If the head does not go all
the way in the socket - tap the magnet deeper into the socket to allow full head engagement. Metal chips will build up
from drilling and should be removed from time to time.
PROTECT DRILL POINT - Push only hard enough on the screw gun to engage clutch. This prevents excess friction and
burn out of the drill point. Correct pressure will allow screw to drill and tap without binding.
