COUNTERSUNK SCREW

3 THORNS TIP
Thanks to the 3 THORNS tip, minimum installation distances are reduced.
More screws can be used in less space and larger screws in smaller elements.
Costs and time for project implementation are reduced.

FAST
With the 3 THORNS tip, screw grip becomes more reliable and faster,
while maintaining the usual mechanical performance.
More speed, less effort.

JOINTS WITH SOUNDPROOFING PROFILES

The screw has been tested and characterised in applications with sound-
proofing layers (XYLOFON) interposed on the shear plane.
The impact of acoustic profiles on the mechanical performance of the
HBS screw is described on page 74.

NEW-GENERATION WOODS
Tested and certified for use on a wide variety of engineered timbers such as
CLT, GL, LVL, OSB and Beech LVL.
Extremely versatile, the HBS screw guarantees the use of new-generation
woods for the creation of increasingly innovative and sustainable structures.

EFFECTIVE NUMBER FOR SHEAR LOADS

The load-bearing capacity of a connection made with several screws, all of the same type and size,
Ref,V,k
may be lower than the sum of the load-bearing capacities of the individual connection system.
For a row of n screws arranged parallel to the direction of the grain at a distance a1 , the charac-
teristic effective load-bearing capacity is equal to:
Ref,V,k = nef RV,k a1 a1

The nef value is given in the table below as a function of n and a1 .
