HEX HEAD CONCRETE SCREW

Introduction:

Hex head concrete screws (also known as masonry hex screws or hex concrete screw) are screws used to fasten materials to concrete, brick, or building blocks. Designed for lightweight fixings, hex head concrete screws have quickly become a popular way to secure materials to masonry.

These hex head concrete screws are hardened and coated with a blue coating to protect them—part of the protective coating extends the screw's corrosion and rust resistance, making it suitable for exterior and long-lasting use. Due to this unusual color, these hex concrete screw are also known as blue screws.

One of the biggest advantages of hex concrete screw is that they can be easily removed when necessary, unlike larger masonry anchors.

Hex head concrete screws are considered suitable for general use and where concrete is soft. If the hex concrete screw have trouble penetrating the material or are under heavy load, 0.6 cm concrete screws may be more suitable. Generally speaking, the harder the material, the stronger the holding effect. They are hardened and hammer their own threads during installation. Hex head masonry screw are primarily used to fasten metal or wood to concrete.

Hex head masonry screw are available with Phillips flat heads and hexagonal washer heads. Phillips versions are often used when a flush head is required, but hexagonal washer heads are easier to drive. Hex head masonry screw must be at least 1 inch (approximately 2.54 cm) embedded in the masonry to be considered properly installed.

Product Advantages:

High Efficiency and Speed: High- and low-thread concrete hex screws offer exceptional fast-drilling performance. The unique tapered diamond tail allows for faster drilling, allowing for rapid penetration through concrete slabs, bricks, and more. 

High Quality: Made from 1022A high-quality carbon steel, these masonry hex screws withstand 1,000 hours of hydrochloric acid corrosion and undergo a classic high-temperature quenching process for exceptional hardness. The masonry hex screws feature a blue thread treatment for superior corrosion resistance.

Concrete hex screws: Require no additional anchors and can be set directly into cement and concrete walls. 

Widely Used: Suitable for use in homes, outdoors, and other indoor and outdoor spaces, concrete hex screws are suitable for concrete, brick, masonry, and stucco. They install quickly, hold firmly in place, and are easily removed.

Application:

The hex head concrete screws is made of carbon steel and in blue color. This hex head concrete screws is designed for use in concrete, masonry, and brick. 

- Usage Environment: This hex concrete screw is designed for use in dry environments.

- Head Style: The hex concrete screw has a hexagonal washer head, designed to keep the head of the hex concrete screw on the top of the object it is attached to.

- Hole Diameter/Drill Diameter: The hex head masonry screws require a properly sized hole in the base material (concrete, masonry, and brick). This hole should be drilled using a carbide drill bit that meets ANSI standards and is suitable for hammering.

- Driver Required: A 5/16-inch nut driver is required to drive the masonry hex screws into the base material.

- Minimum Embedment: The minimum embedment for concrete hex screws in concrete is 1 inch. Therefore, the concrete hex screws must be installed so that at least 1 inch of the anchor is embedded in the concrete.

- Anchor Spacing: Each hex head masonry screws must be a minimum of 4 inches (10.1 cm) from each other when measured center to center.

- Edge Distance: It is important not to install hex head masonry screws more than 3 inches (7.6 cm) from the unsupported edge of the concrete
