Fasteners for exterior wood sheathing to 3/16" thick steel tube
I am looking for a fastener that I can fasten exterior wood sheathing (3/4" thick) to a HSS tube that is 3/16" thick. This will be exposed, so I need a fastener suitable for exterior use.

Hi Nate,
For Direct Fastening selection, see the Hilti Direct Fastening Technical Guide. Below are links to sections of the tech guide:
- Section 3.2.2.4 Recommended fastener lengths for attaching wood to steel base material
- Section 3.2.8 X-PN 37 G3 MX Structural Wood Panel Fastening System
- Section 3.2.10 Wood Sill Plates to Concrete
Hilti’s Corrosion Handbook can be found here.
Additionally, Hilti’s direct fasteners are tested by installing through the thin material first and then into the thick base material. For further technical assistance please contact hnatechnicalservices@hilti.com.
Best,
Emily
