Deck Fasteners

Our screw fastening system can be used for both sidelap and frame fastening and is designed to be:

• Ergonomic – with the Hilti SDT there’s little need for bending down
• Fast to use – the Hilti SDT is mobile, so no need to carry a power supply onto the deck
  
• Productive – it works with collated screw strips, designed to work continually with less stopping and starting, helping to save time on the jobsite
• High loads - it can achieve higher loads compared to single standard #10 screws

Our mechanical screw fastening and direct fastening solutions can attach decking to bar joists of structural steel beams.

• Designed for fast installation – our stand-up tools, collated screw and nail strips help to save time compared to welding or single screw fastening
• No need for welding – no fumes, no holes, and you can work in virtually any weather, even if it rains
• There’s no need for specialists or certified welding skills onsite
• Avoid the need to bend down during installation – both of our systems use stand-up fastening tools
• Keep you mobile – there’s no need for external power supplies or to take cables up onto decking, many of our tools are battery-powered or powder-actuated
• Engineering expertise - our solutions are supported by Hilti engineering expertise onsite, on the phone or online
• Use Hilti PROFIS DF Diaphragm design software to calculate loads and fastening patterns – it’s free to use for registered Hilti.comaccount holders
• Approvals – our steel deck fastening systems have been extensively evaluated by ICC ESR, COLA, FM and UL
