Dynamic Fastener
Dynamic Fastener’s 12-24×1-1/2-inch Torx T-5 fasteners attach steel to structural steel from 0.25- to 0.5-inch total steel thickness. The fasteners have #30 torx low-profile truss heads and are available with 15/32-inch outside diameter washers under the heads. Heads can be painted to match panels.
Metl-Span
Metl-Span’s V6 X-Span concealed fastener clips are V-shaped fasteners that fit joinery of Metl-Span’s CF insulated metal panels (IMPs). The clips increase panel stiffness and distribute shear loads at fastening locations. The distribution helps delay panel disengagement under negative loads, a failure point of thick panels in long spans.
Triangle Fastener Corp.
Triangle Fastener offers a variety of sizes of SD300 stainless steel bi-metal self-drilling screws including #12 diameter in 1- and 2-inch lengths. The fasteners can be used to attach aluminum materials including framing and metal composite material (MCM) panels. They can tap and drill as much as 0.21-inch-thick steel or aluminum.
Varco Pruden Buildings
Varco Pruden’s WideBay trussed purlins are a structural option to standard purlins or bar joists. The secondary members are designed to span to 60 feet between frames. WideBay trussed purlins are suitable for projects that require open interior spaces or column-free spaces. They have a G-30 galvanized finish that does not require field painting. An acrylic coating protects the structural appearance.
