DESCRIPTION/SUGGESTED SPECIFICATIONS
Multi-Purpose Framing Screws—
GRK’s R4™ self-countersinking screw has a patented underhead with saw-blade like cutting teeth and six
self-contained cutting pockets. Together they act similar to a circular saw-blade, transporting the drill dust

R4 ™ away from the edge of the screw hole while cutting a perfectly clean hole into even the most brittle materials
without cracking any surface treatment.
This design enhances the R4™’s versatility by allowing the fastener to
countersink into even the hardest woods. The head of the screw closes the
Multi-Purpose hole off with precision, leaving no damaged fibres around the head.

Framing Screws R4™ screws 2" and longer have a four threaded CEE Thread. This enlarges
the screw hole for the non-threaded portion of the fastener, allowing the
wood to settle easily. It increases the screw’s drawing strength and reduces
Frame with Ease the friction on the screw shank that lowers the driving torque.

Resistance values have been developed in accordance with Clause 12.11 "Wood Screws" CSA O86-14 and have been factored with the material resistance factor (φ). No other
modification factors affecting resistance have been applied. Values must be multiplied by all applicable modification factors as specified for wood screws in accordance with
CSA O86-14.

ICC ESR-3201 report can be referred to for information not provided in this table. Note that resistance values of GRK R4 screw connections with cold-formed steel, mild steel
and plywood side members have not been developed in the ICC ESR-3201 report.
3
Multiply lateral resistance values by 0.83 for toe-screw installation and by 0.67 for end-grain installation. Toe-screw and end-grain installations are not permitted for screws
loaded in withdrawal.
4
Minimum row spacing, spacing in row and edge distances, penetration lengths, and member thicknesses shall be as specified in Clause 12.11.2 CSA O86-14. The minimum
spacing table provided in this catalogue can be used for reference.
5
'---' indicates the screw cannot be used for the resistance due to the screw length not meeting the minimum penetration length into the point-side member. Resistance values
have been developed assuming the screw is fully penetrated into the point-side member.
6
Resistance values with mild steel side member have been developed for mild steel referenced in CSA S16 (ASTM A36/A36M steel; fu = 400 MPa). Resistance values with
cold-formed steel side member have been developed for cold-formed steel light gauge steel referenced in CSA S136 (Grade SS 230; fu = 310 MPa).

Resistance values have been developed in accordance with Clause 12.11 "Wood Screws" CSA O86-14 and have been factored with the material resistance factor (φ). No other
modification factors affecting resistance have been applied. Values must be multiplied by all applicable modification factors as specified for wood screws in accordance with
CSA O86-14.

ICC ESR-3201 report can be referred to for information not provided in this table. Note that resistance values of GRK R4 screw connections with cold-formed steel, mild steel
and plywood side members have not been developed in the ICC ESR-3201 report.

Multiply lateral resistance values by 0.83 for toe-screw installation and by 0.67 for end-grain installation. Toe-screw and end-grain installations are not permitted for screws
loaded in withdrawal.
4
Minimum row spacing, spacing in row and edge distances, penetration lengths, and member thicknesses shall be as specified in Clause 12.11.2 CSA O86-14. The minimum
spacing table provided in this catalogue can be used for reference.
5
'---' indicates the screw cannot be used for the resistance due to the screw length not meeting the minimum penetration length into the point-side member. Resistance values
have been developed assuming the screw is fully penetrated into the point-side member.
6
Resistance values with mild steel side member have been developed for mild steel referenced in CSA S16 (ASTM A36/A36M steel; fu = 400 MPa). Resistance values with
cold-formed steel side member have been developed for cold-formed steel light gauge steel referenced in CSA S136 (Grade SS 230; fu = 310 MPa).

DESCRIPTION/SUGGESTED SPECIFICATIONS
Rugged Structural Screws—
GRK’s RSS™ screw is made of specially hardened steel to provide you with high tensile, torque and shear
strength. The sharp threads and points bite instantly into the material (including hardwood), reducing the

RSS ™ splitting effect due to smaller shanks.


RSS™ screws that are 3" 1/8" and longer have CEE Threads which enlarge the screw hole for the non-threaded
portion of the fastener, allowing the wood to settle easily and increases the screw’s drawing strength. The
CEE Thread also reduces the friction on the screw shank which can result in lowering the driving torque and
Rugged Structural the likelihood of splitting the wood. This is why the RSS™ screw is an efficient lag screw alternative.

Screws Our round head with built-in shield (washer type head) has no sharp
edges like conventional lag screws. The added shoulder (nominal diameter)
underneath the washer has the ability to center the RSS™ screw in pre-drilled
Speedy Lag Bolt hardware like hinges and connector plates.

Alternative with RSS™ JTS - Used for joists and trusses


RSS™ LTF - Designed for log home and timber frame

LIABILITY AND GRK Fasteners™ is a distributor of commercial grade fasteners. Conformance to “IFI”
specifications is formally requested from our suppliers. The parts that we supply are
WARRANTIES quality inspected by independent labs.

We maintain lot traceability on all products listed in this catalog as long as they are in
their original bulk boxes. Certifications are maintained on all fasteners.

Hydrogen Embrittlement: We require our platers and suppliers of plated fasteners to


bake case hardened parts to “IFI” specifications. However, this process does not guarantee
that hydrogen embrittlement will not still be present after baking or that it will not occur
at a later date while in service. Specialized testing or a substitute part may be required,
depending on the application.

Liability: Claims against GRK Fasteners™ shall be limited to a refund or credit for the price
billed or paid for faulty or incorrect merchandise. Seller shall not be responsible for buyer's
manufacturing costs, labour, alternate purchases, extra freight, replating, plating, lost
profit, good will, recall costs, or other incidental or consequential damages.

Warranties: GRK Fasteners™ (“GRK”) warrants to the first retail purchaser that its
Climatek™ coated will not rust under normal environmental conditions when used in
accordance with the recommendations listed in GRK's Screw Selection Guide. This
warranty is not transferable.

Refunds: In order to receive a refund, the customer must return to us at least 50 of the
defective screws (including screw heads) for verification.

THERE ARE NO UNDERSTANDINGS, AGREEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS OR
