Fastener System for Cold-Formed Steel To better secure and facilitate installation of S

tructo

-c

rete

structural concrete panels to cold-formed steel

framing, USG recommends a low-speed, high-torque drive system such as the Grabber SuperDrive

75 Series

with Extension system. The use of ordinary high-speed, low-torque drill guns are more likely to strip screw
heads, thereby making it difficult to properly secure the panel to the steel framing. This may result in gapping
between the panel and the supporting framing. Gaps formed by improper tightening of the fastener may result
in the future settling of the panel onto the
framing under normal floor loading,
causing screw heads to rise up from the
panel and protrude through underlayment
and/or floor coverings.
