3.1 INSTALLATION

A. Pos-I-TieŽ Screws

    1. Self-Drilling Screw: Use a standard drill with a variable clutch adjustment and a Pos-I-TieŽ Chuck Adapter. Place the barrel end of the screw in the chuck adapter, drill through the gypsum board and into the metal stud.
    2. TapconŽ Screw: Use a standard hammer drill and a Pos-I-TieŽ Sleeve Tool with a Pos-I-Tie Chuck Adapter on the end. Set Drill to Hammer, slide off the chuck adapter sleeve and drill a 2" deep hole into the backup with a 3/16" (4.76 mm) masonry drillbit. Replace the sleeve/chuck adapter, switch the hammer mode off, and place the barrel end of the screw in the chuck adapter. Drill the screw into the hole.
    3. Dril-ItŽ Screw: Use a standard drill with a variable clutch adjustment and a Pos-I-TieŽ Chuck Adapter. Place the barrel end of the screw in the chuck adapter, and drill the screw into the structural member. (Some structural steel may require pre-drilling a pilot hole)
  1. Pos-I-TieŽ Wires
