To help you to understand
better how we code our fastening products for easy identification,
here is a brief explanation.
Steps to indicating the fastener you need:
1) Choose which Product
Range you need. (E.g. CS, HD, SS3, etc)
2) Decide on the correct fastener gauge. (E.g. #10, #12,
#14, etc)
3) Do you want it in fine thread (24 T.P.I.) or coarse
thread (14 T.P.I.) design?
4) What is the suitable length for your application?
5) If the standard features are not what you want, what
are the features your need? (E.g. DT SS for crest fixing,
LV
5 for thick application, TY 17 for timber application,
etc)
