GRK Fasteners RSS structural screws are heavy-duty fasteners engineered for demanding construction applications where strength, reliability, and wood protection are essential. Made from specially hardened steel, these screws deliver high tensile, torque, and shear strength, making them ideal for securing ledger boards, deck construction, stair rails, and other structural connections where traditional lag screws may fall short.
The RSS design addresses common fastening challenges in woodworking and construction. Sharp threads and points bite instantly into material, including hardwood, while the smaller shank reduces the risk of wood splitting. The self-tapping tip eliminates the need for pre-drilling in most wood applications, saving time and effort on the job. The innovative washer head design with a built-in shield provides a safer, more finished appearance compared to conventional lag screws, with no sharp edges and a centered shoulder that holds the screw square in pre-drilled hardware like hinges and connector plates.
Features and Benefits
- Specially Hardened Steel: Delivers high tensile, torque, and shear strength for demanding structural applications and long-lasting reliability.
- Sharp Thread Profile: Aggressive threads bite instantly into hardwood and softwood, reducing splitting caused by smaller shank diameter.
- Self-Tapping Design: Eliminates pre-drilling requirements in most wood applications, saving installation time.
- Washer Head with Built-In Shield: Round head design eliminates sharp edges for safety and a professional appearance, with centered shoulder for precise hardware alignment.
- Reduced Friction and Driving Torque: Thread design minimizes friction on the screw shank, lowering driving torque and decreasing wood splitting likelihood.
