• • Technical Evaluation Report(TER) <br /> 3. Performance Evaluation: <br /> 3.1. The HeadLOK fasteners were evaluated, using their tested allowable design values described below, as an <br /> alternate means of attaching cladding systems over exterior mounted rigid foam insulation. The following <br /> properties were evaluated: <br /> 3.1.1. Dowel bearing strength of HeadLOK fasteners for use as an alternative to wood screws or lag screws in <br /> shear, where the fasteners are applied horizontally and the load is applied vertically. <br /> 3.1.2. Withdrawal strength of HeadLOK fasteners for use as an alternative to wood screws or lag screws in <br /> tension where the fasteners are applied horizontally and the load is applied vertically causing the fastener <br /> to pull out. <br /> 3.1.3. Head pull through strength of HeadLOK fasteners for use as an alternative to wood screws or lag screws <br /> in tension where the fasteners are applied horizontally and the load is applied vertically causing the <br /> fastener head to pull through. <br /> 31.4. Shear strength of the HeadLOK fasteners for use as an alternative to wood screws or lag screws in shear <br /> where the fasteners are applied horizontally and the load is applied vertically either parallel or <br /> perpendicular to wood grain. <br /> 4. Product Description and Materials: <br /> 4.1. HeadLOK fasteners are manufactured with carbon steel wire conforming to ASTM A510 with a minimum <br /> ultimate tensile strength of 60 ksi. <br /> 4.2. HeadLOK fasteners are manufactured using a standard cold-formed process followed by a heat-treating <br /> process. <br /> 4.3. Fasteners are approved for use in exterior conditions and in pressure-treated wood. The proprietary coating <br /> has been tested and found to exceed the protection provided by code approved hot-dipped galvanized <br /> coatings meeting ASTM A153(IBC2304.9.52 and IRC317.33). <br /> 4.4. Fasteners are approved for use in interior conditions. <br /> 4.5. Fasteners are approved for use in fire-retardant-treated lumber, provided the conditions set forth by the fire- <br /> retardant-treated lumber manufacturer are met, including appropriate strength reductions. <br /> 4.6. In-plant quality control procedures under which the HeadLOK fasteners are manufactured are audited through <br /> an inspection process performed by an approved agency. <br /> 2 IBC Section 2304.9.5 Fasteners in preservative-treated and fire-retardant-treated wood.Fasteners for preservative treated and fire-retardant-treated wood shall be of hot dipped <br /> zinc-coated galvanized steel,stainless steel,silicon bronze or copper.The coating weights for zinc-coated fasteners shall be in accordance with ASTM A153... <br /> 3 R317.3 Fasteners and connectors in contact with preservative-treated and fire-retardant-treated wood.Fasteners and connectors in contact with preservative-treated wood and <br /> fire-retardant-treated wood shall be in accordance with this section.The coating weights for zinc-coated fasteners shall be in accordance with ASTM A153. <br /> 4 IBC Section 1702 APPROVED AGENCY.An established and recognized agency regularly engaged in conducting tests or furnishing inspection services,when such agency has been <br /> approved. <br /> TER No. 1009-01 Page 2 of 12 <br /> Use of FastenMaster HeadLOKTM Fasteners to Attach Cladding <br /> and/or Furring to Wood Framing through Foam Sheathing <br />
