• Stronger design shear values than 1/2" lags.
• IBC/IRC Code Compliant ESR# 1078.
• Built in washer head design eliminates the need for additional washer.
• Proprietary three step coating process protects against corrosion, even in pressure treated wood. ACQ approved.
• Free 5/16" driver bit in every package.
• NOTE: Not designed for use in masonry or concrete.

The FastenMaster LedgerLok should be installed using a high torque, 1/2" variable speed drill (at least 14.4V if cordless). Choose the proper length LedgerLok so that threads fully engage the main member (i.e. – rim joist). Bring washer flush to side member – do not countersink. Lateral Design Values (Table goes here) * SCL=Structural Composite Lumber (LVL,PSL and LSL) ** Wood species identified typically have average specific gravity similar to the values shown on this table.

Ledger Board Attachment Comparative Data The statement Faster, Easier, Stronger Than 1/2" Lag Screws relates to the comparison of design shear values of LedgerLoks and 1/2" lag screws. The Professional Engineer (PE) is responsible for designing all connections, which include the number and location of all fasteners to meet the national and local code requirements. All minimum end, edge and spacing distances of the LedgerLok should follow minimums set forth in ICC ESR-1078. (see www.fastenmaster.com). This report should be reviewed thoroughly when designing connections. Note: Photographs on this package showing LedgerLok usage should not be used as a reference for fastening patterns. For complete design values and engineering data, available through ICC-ES, see report ESR-1078 at www.icc-es.org.

All design values based on 1-1/2" side member thickness and penetration into main member as follows; LedgerLok 2", Nails 10x diameter, Lags 8x diameter. Design values may be subject to adjustment factors (section 10.3 in NDS) based on conditions existing during installation as well as those expected during service life. The lag screw and nail design values included in these tables are compiled directly from the 2001 National Design Specification for Wood Construction (2001 NDS).
