A Subsidiary of the International Code Council DIVISION: 05 00 00 METALS Section: 05 05 Metal Fastenings REPORT HOLDER: GRABBER CONSTRUCTION PRODUCTS, INC. 0 WEST MAIN STREET COURT ALPINE, UTAH 84004 (95) 680-0777 www.grabberman.com EVALUATION SUBJECT: GRABBER DRIVALL AND SUPERDRIVE SELF- DRILLING TAPPING SCREWS.0 EVALUATION SCOPE Compliance with the following codes: 0 and 009 International Building Code (IBC) 0 and 009 International Residential Code (IRC) Properties evaluated: Structural.0 USES The Grabber DRIVALL and SUPERDRIVE self-drilling tapping screws described in this report are used in engineered connections of cold-formed steel framing and of sheet steel sheathing connected to cold-formed steel framing. The screws may be used under the IRC when an engineered design is submitted to the code official for approval in accordance with IRC Section R0....0 DESCRIPTION. Grabber DRIVALL Self-Drilling Tapping s: Grabber DRIVALL self-drilling tapping screws are proprietary self-drilling tapping screws, having a hex washer, modified truss or pan head. The screws are manufactured from carbon steel conforming to ASTM A50, Grades 0 through 06 and are heat treated and case hardened. The screws are coated with electrodeposited zinc with a coating designation of Fe/Zn A in accordance with ASTM F94. Table provides screw descriptions (size, tpi), point styles, head styles, head diameters, nominal shank diameters, drilling capacities and length of load-bearing area (grip length). s are supplied in boxes of loose screws. See Figures through for depictions of the screws.. Grabber SUPERDRIVE Self-Drilling Tapping s: SUPERDRIVE screws are DRIVALL screws packaged in collated strips and supplied in boxes for use in automated screw installation systems.. Cold-Formed Steel: Cold-formed steel framing and sheet steel material must comply with one of the ASTM specifications prescribed in Section A of AISI S00 or Section A of AISI S0, and have the minimum specified tensile strengths shown in Tables,, or 4 of this report. Base steel thickness must comply with Section A.4 of AISI S00 and this report. 4.0 DESIGN AND INSTALLATION 4. Design: 4.. General: thread length and point style must be selected on the basis of thickness of the fastened material and thickness of the supporting steel, respectively, based on the grip length (see Figure 4) and drilling capacity given in Table. When tested for corrosion resistance in accordance with ASTM B7, the screws meet the minimum requirement listed in ASTM F94, of no white corrosion after three hours and no red rust after hours. 4.. Engineered Design: GRABBER self-drilling tapping screws are recognized for use in engineered connections of cold-formed steel construction. Design of connections for use in Allowable Strength Design (ASD) must comply with Section E4 of AISI S00, using the allowable fastener tension and shear strength for the screws, shown in Table 5, and the allowable connection strengths for pull-out, pull-over, and shear (bearing) capacity for common sheet steel thicknesses provided in Tables,, and 4, respectively. Instructions on how to calculate connection design strengths for use in Load Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) are found in the footnotes of these tables. The connection strength values are applicable to connections where the connected steel elements are in direct contact with one another. For connections subject to tension, the least of the allowable pull-out, pull-over, and fastener tension strength found in Tables, and 5, respectively, must be used for design. For connections subject to shear, the lesser of the allowable shear (bearing) and fastener shear strength found in Tables 4 and 5, respectively, must be used for design. Connections subject to combined tension and shear loading must be designed in accordance with Section E4.5 of AISI S00. *Revised February 04 ICC-ES Evaluation Reports are not to be construed as representing aesthetics or any other attributes not specifically addressed, nor are they to be construed as an endorsement of the subject of the report or a recommendation for its use.

ESR-7 Most Widely Accepted and Trusted Page of 5 The values in Tables,, and 4 are based on a minimum center-to-center spacing of three times the nominal diameter of the screw, and a minimum edge distance of.5 times the nominal diameter of the screw. Minimum edge distance when connecting cold-formed steel framing members must be three times the diameter of the screw, in accordance with Section D.5 of AISI S00. Under the 009 IBC, when the direction to the end of the connected part is parallel to the line of the applied force, the allowable connection shear strength determined in accordance with Section E4.. of Appendix A of AISI S00 must be considered. Connected members must be checked for rupture in accordance with Section E5 of AISI S00-07/S-0. 4. Installation: Installation of Grabber self-drilling tapping screws must be in accordance with the manufacturer s published installation instructions and this report. The manufacturer s published installation instructions must be available at the jobsite at all times during installation. The screws must be installed perpendicular to the work surface, using a variable speed screw driving tool set to not exceed,500 rpm. The screw must penetrate through the supporting steel with a minimum of three exposed threads protruding past the back side of the supporting steel. 5.0 CONDITIONS OF USE The GRABBER self-drilling screws described in this report comply with, or are suitable alternatives to what is specified in, those codes listed in Section.0 of this report, subject to the following conditions: 5. Fasteners must be installed in accordance with the manufacturer s published installation instructions and this report. In the event of a conflict between this report and the manufacturer s published installation instructions, the more restrictive governs. 5. The utilization of the screws described in this evaluation report in cold-formed steel deck diaphragms is outside the scope of this report. 5. For ASD, the allowable screw strength or screw connection strength is not to be increased for shortduration loads such as wind or earthquake loads. 5.4 Drawings and calculations verifying compliance with this report and the applicable code must be submitted to the code official for approval. The drawings and calculations must be prepared by a registered design professional when required by the statutes of the jurisdiction in which the project is to be constructed. 6.0 EVIDENCE SUBMITTED Data in accordance with the ICC-ES Acceptance Criteria for Tapping Fasteners (AC8), dated June 0. 7.0 IDENTIFICATION The heads of the GRABBER self-drilling screws are marked (stamped) with a G or a special symbol as shown in Figure. Each container of fasteners has a label bearing the company name (GRABBER ), screw series (DRIVALL self-drilling for loose screws or SUPERDRIVE for screws in collated strips), fastener description (size/diameter and length), model number, point type, coating, and the evaluation report number (ESR-7).
