Screws and Fasteners
APPLICATION
Starborn® Structural F23-E and F23-W screws are specifically designed for interior multi-ply beam connections. They are a fully tested alternative to nails and through-bolts, and can be installed from one side of the beam without pre-drilling. Structural F23-E and F23-W screws feature a unique Tri – Forge® point for reduced driving torque and a low-profile flat head that minimizes interference with connectors and finish materials. They are available in specific lengths for 2-, 3-, and 4-ply beams. F23-E screws are designed to fasten LVL, LSL, and PSL multi-ply beams. F23-W screws are designed to fasten 2x sawn lumber multi-ply beams.
