KonstruX 13 mm E12 fully threaded screw: new size for particularly large dimensions

Unlike a partially threaded screw, where the load-bearing capacity of the connection is limited by the lower head pull-through resistance in the attachment part, the load-bearing capacity of a connection can be increased with a KonstruX fully threaded screw due to the high thread pull-through resistance in both components. Since timber generally has a low transverse compressive and tensile strength, the KonstruX fully threaded screw used in the material serves as a specific reinforcement in this case. Accordingly, reinforcement (an insert and support to strengthen a building material) is used to increase stability.

In structural timber engineering, KonstruX 13 mm can be used primarily as transverse tensile reinforcement of warehouse trusses, at notches and openings as well as at cross connections. Other application scenarios include:

• Main/secondary beam connections
• Joist doubling
• Internal truss screw connections
• Metal-to-wood connections in various executions
• Screw connections in cross laminated timber ceilings
