MiTek introduces ProSeries fasteners

Chesterfield, Mo.-based MiTek launched a new line of fasteners, called MiTek ProSeries, a family of products that includes washer head structural wood screws, Bugle Head structural wood screws, and hex head structural wood screws.

The company released the following descriptions:

• Ideal for wood-to-wood and metal-to wood connections, MiTek Hex Head structural wood screwsare available in lengths from 1-1/2” to 8”.  These screws can be used in numerous framing applications in lieu of traditional lags screws where a hex head drive is desired.

• MiTek Washer Head structural wood screws (exterior finish) offer an alternative to traditional lags screws.  The large, flat washer head offers a low profile (for less interference) after installation.  These screws are ideal for deck ledger attachments and other wood-to-wood connections.  They are available in lengths from 2-7/8” to 8.”

• Specifically designed for multi-ply EWP and dimensional wood connections, MiTek Washer Headstructural wood screws (with a yellow zinc finish) allow for one-sided connections on 2-, 3-, and 4-ply beams and truss girders.  They are available in lengths from 2-7/8” to 6-3/4”

Ideal for a low-profile appearance, MiTek Bugle Head screws are available in lengths from 2-1/2” to 10”.  These are general-purpose structural screws that offers a high-strength alternative to traditional lag screws and allow for the head to be driven flush or countersunk.
