USG® Recommends Grabber® Fasteners for Use with Its Structo-Crete(TM) Concrete Panels


Highland, UT—Three concrete panel screws manufactured by Grabber® Construction Products, Inc. ("Grabber"), a 100% employee-owned international distributor of professional-grade fasteners and construction products, have been named by USG® as the fasteners of choice for use with USG's Structo-Crete™ concrete panels.



USG tested for fastening Structo-Crete™ structural concrete panel to cold-formed steel. The allowable uniform gravity loads and the diaphragm design loads tabled in the ICC-ES Evaluation Report ESR-1792 were generated from tests using the Structural Concrete Panel Screw 8 x 1-5/8" with GrabberGard – Collated (Grabber screw item #CGH158LG).



This fastener complies with all of the requirements of Section 3.3 of ICC-ES ESR-1792 and is the fastener recommended by USG for the application of Structo-Crete structural concrete panel as the subfloor on cold-formed steel.



For use with thinner material or to laminate two pieces into a double layer, Grabber's 1-1/4" (GH8114LG) or 2-3/8" (GH8238LG) fasteners are recommended.
