610110 TrussMates™ Cone Point Truss Locating Screws
Designed for use in thin steel Truss manufacturing applications in steel frame housing. These TrussMates™ are 8mm diameter for high shear strength. They feature a Buttress thread for high withdrawal strength in thin steel applications, a tapered cone point for easy location even if the holes are mis-aligned and a standard 5/16" head drive which allows for the one tool to be used across a wide range of steel frame fixings. The M8 size is designed for use in pre punched holes of 6.00mm diameter.

The recommended hole diameters can vary dependent upon the total thickness of materials being fastened together.
For thinner materials a smaller hole size is recommended as this will give a higher % of thread engagement.
For thicker materials a larger hole size is recommended as this will give lower driving torque with a lower % of thread engagement.
For the majority of steel truss manufacturing with Steel thicknesses up to 1.00~1.50mm the recommended hole size is:-
• For M8 TrussMates™ ~ 6.00mm
Several factors may require a variation from the recommended holes sizes if using TrussMates™ in other applications and these include:-
• higher steel thicknesses
• harder steels
• tolerances on hole diameters and irregular shaped holes can vary on different machines
• the choice of % of thread engagement (which is at the installers/manufacturers discretion)
In these cases it is recommended for a pre-test to be conducted to confirm the most suitable hole size and type for your specific application.
The pre-test should involve several hole sizes being tested using a capture method whereby holes that are too large can be identified by having too low a driving torque and holes that are too small will have too high a driving torque and may stall the screwdriver, snap the screw or cause operator injury.
