Properties evaluated: Structural Corrosion resistance.0 USES The SPAX PowerLag series structural wood fasteners described in this report are alternate dowel-type threaded fasteners used for wood-to-wood connections. The SPAX PowerLag series structural wood fasteners having the proprietary HCR or HCRX coatings may be used where fasteners are required to exhibit corrosion resistance when exposed to adverse environmental conditions and/or chemically treated wood and are alternates to hot dip galvanized fasteners with a coating weight in compliance with ASTM A5, Class D. Fasteners having the proprietary HCR or HCRX coating have been evaluated for use with wood chemically treated with waterborne alkaline copper quaternary, Type D (ACQ-D)..0 DESCRIPTION. General: The SPAX PowerLag series structural wood fasteners described in this report are threaded fasteners manufactured using a standard cold-forming process and subsequently heat-treated. The fasteners are available with a variety of coatings, including proprietary coating systems designated as HCR and HCRX. The SPAX PowerLag series structural wood fasteners are available in four different diameters and four different head types, and have lengths ranging from to 4 inches (5 to 60 mm), inclusive of the threaded portion. The four head types are as follows: () design; () head design with 6-Lobe recess drive system; () Flat design with 6-Lobe recess drive system; and (4) Pancake design with 6-Lobe recess drive system. See Tables A, B, C, and D for the diameters, lengths and head types of the / 4, 5 / 6, / 8 and / inch series, respectively. All fasteners described in this report are manufactured with cold-rolled threads and a gimlet point.. Fastener Material: The fasteners are made of hardened carbon steel grade 0 or 0B wire conforming to ASTM A50, or grade 7MnB or 9MnB4 wire conforming to DIN 654. Specified minimum bending yield strength, allowable tensile strength, and allowable shear strength of the fasteners are listed in Tables A, B, C, and D.. Wood Material: Wood main and side members must be solid-sawn lumber or boards having an assigned specific gravity as given in Tables,, 4 and 5 of this report. Assigned specific gravity must be determined in accordance with Table..A of the 05 ANSI/AWC National Design Specification (NDS) for Wood Construction (Table..A of the 0 NDS; Table..A of the 005 NDS). 4.0 DESIGN AND INSTALLATION 4. Design: 4.. Reference Design Values: Reference design values for direct withdrawal connections are specified in Table of this report. Reference design values for lateral resistance in wood-to-wood connections loaded parallel to the grain are specified in Tables A, B, C and D; and those for connections loaded perpendicular to the grain are specified in Tables 4A, 4B, 4C and 4D. When lateral loads are applied such that the fastener bears on either the main or side member in a direction other than parallel or perpendicular to the grain, the applicable design value for the connection must be calculated in accordance with Section..4 of NDS-5 (Section..4 of NDS- for the 0 IBC; Section.. of NDS-05 for the 009 IBC), using the applicable design values given in Tables and 4 of this report.

The reference design values given in Tables,, 4 and 5 must be multiplied by all adjustment factors applicable to dowel-type fasteners and wood screws, in accordance with the NDS, including the weervice factor,, shown in Tables, and 4, where applicable. Reference head pullthrough design values must be adjusted using the NDS adjustment factors applicable to withdrawal for wood screws. The allowable load for a single-screw connection in which the screw is subject to tension is the least of: (a) the reference withdrawal design value given in Table, multiplied by the thread length and adjusted by all applicable adjustment factors; (b) the reference head pullthrough design value given in Table 5, adjusted by all applicable adjustment factors; and (c) the allowable screw tension strength given in Tables A, B, C and D. The allowable lateral load for a single-screw connection is the lesser of: (a) the reference lateral design value given in Tables A, B, C and D; Tables 4A, 4B, 4C or 4D; or as determined for loading at an intermediate angle to the grain; as applicable, adjusted by all applicable adjustment factors, and (b) the allowable screw shear strength given in Tables A, B, C and D. When designing a connection, the structural members must be checked for load-carrying capacity in accordance with Section.. of NDS-5 (Section 0.. of NDS- and NDS-05 for the 0 and 009 IBC), and local stresses within multiple-fastener connections must be checked against Appendix E of the NDS to ensure the capacity of the connection and the fastener group. Connections comprised of multiple screws must be designed in accordance with Sections.. and.6 of NDS-5 (Sections 0.. and.6 of the NDS - and NDS-05 for the 0 and 009 IBC). Where the screws are subjected to combined lateral and withdrawal loads, connections shall be designed in accordance with Section.4. of NDS-5 (Section.4. of the NDS- and NDS-05 for the 0 and 009 IBC). 4.. Corrosion Resistance: The SPAX PowerLag series structural wood fasteners having the proprietary HCR or HCRX coating are recognized for use in wood treated with waterborne alkaline copper quaternary, Type D (ACQ-D), to a minimum retention level of 0.40 pcf (6.4 kg/m ). These fasteners must be limited to use in the typical applications described in Table 7, subject to the limitations noted in the table. 4. Installation: The SPAX PowerLag series structural wood fasteners must be installed with a / -inch (.7 mm), low rpm/high torque electric drill (450 rpm) or impact wrench using the appropriate drive bit. Lead holes are not required for the / 4 inch and 5 / 6 inch series fasteners. Lead holes having diameters of 0.75 inch (4.45 mm) and 0.00 inch (5.08 mm) are required for the / 8 inch series and / inch series fasteners, respectively, to reduce splitting of the wood. The threaded portion of the fastener, including the tip, must be embedded within the main member using the minimum fastener penetration depths shown in Tables A, B, C, D, 4A, 4B, 4C and 4D. The bottom of the fastener head must be installed flush to the surface of the member being connected. The fastener must not be overdriven. Minimum required end and edge distances, measured from the center of the fastener to the end or edge of the wood side and main members, are specified in Table 6. Minimum required fastener spacing, measured from the center of one fastener to the center of another, is also specified in Table CONDITIONS OF USE The SPAX PowerLag series structural wood fasteners described in this report comply with, or are suitable alternatives to what is specified in, those codes listed in Section.0 of this report, subject to the following conditions: 5.
