Technical Evaluation Report(TER) 8. Findings: 8.1. When used and installed in accordance with this TER and the manufacturer's installation instructions, HeadLOK fasteners are acceptable for use as an alternative material, design and method of construction for the attachment of furring, sheathing or cladding over foam sheathing and into wood framing. 8.2. HeadLOK fasteners evaluated herein and installed in accordance with this TER meet the requirements of the 2003, 2006 and 2009 IRC for positive and negative wind pressure resistance. 8.3. HeadLOK fasteners evaluated herein and installed in accordance with this TER meet the requirements of the 2003, 2006 and 2009 IRC for lateral shear strength to support cladding materials installed over foam sheathing. 8.4. HeadLOK fasteners evaluated herein and installed in accordance with this TER meet the requirements of the 2003, 2006 and 2009 IBC for positive and negative wind pressure resistance. 8.5. HeadLOK fasteners evaluated herein and installed in accordance with this TER meet the requirements of the 2003, 2006 and 2009 IBC for lateral shear strength to support cladding materials installed over foam sheathing. 8.6. Use of HeadLOK fasteners to connect bracing materials in braced wall panels or shear walls is outside the scope of this TER. 9. Conditions of Use: 9.1. HeadLOK fasteners covered by this TER shall be installed in accordance with this report and the manufacturer's installation instructions. 9.2. HeadLOK fastener spacing shall not exceed Table 2 for the installation conditions considered. 9.3. For conditions not covered in this TER, connections shall be designed in accordance with accepted engineering practice. 9.4. Manufacturer's installation instructions shall be followed as provided in Section 6 and at www.fastenmaster.com/details/product/HeadLOK-heavy-dutv-flathead-fastener.html. 9.5. HeadLOK fasteners are produced by OMG, Inc. at their facility located in Agawam, Massachusetts. 9.6. HeadLOK fasteners are produced under a quality control program subject to periodic inspections in accordance with IBC Section 1703.5.2. 9.7. Install fasteners prior to utility installations in exterior walls to avoid accidental penetration of utilities(e.g. electrical wiring, plumbing, etc.). 9.8. Foam sheathing shall be minimum Type II (expanded polystyrene) or Type X(extruded polystyrene) per ASTM C578 or Type 1 (polyiso) per ASTM C1289. 9.8.1. Types with greater compressive strength are acceptable. 9.9. Ensure furring or sheathing material provides adequate substrate and thickness for the application of the siding fastener per code requirements for siding application and siding manufacturer's installation instructions. 9.9.1. For example, if the siding manufacturer requires the fastener for the siding to penetrate more than 3/4" into the furring, a 1"x 4"furring strip (actual dimension of 3/4"x 3%2")would not be adequate and a thicker furring strip, such as a 2"x 4", would be required. 10. Identification: 10.1. The fasteners are identified by the designation, "HeadLOKTM" on the packaging. The head of each fastener is marked with an "F"followed by a number corresponding to the length of the fastener. 10.2. The packaging shall include OMG's name and address, fastener size, third-party inspection agency and TER number. 10.3. Additional technical information can be found at the fastenmaster.com.
