Phillips II - KWIKTAP Concrete Screws

KWIKTAP Concrete Screws

KwikTap featuring the ACR Phillips II system is the ideal recess for driving concrete screws.
It takes four times more force to drive a concrete screw than a wood screw. KwikTap allows for higher torque with less operator pressure. This means easier installation with less fatigue. Other concrete screws offer a standard Phillips drive or a slotted drive. KwikTap has the Phillips II with ACR. A nut driver can still be used on the hex head, but the recess can be used, too! Perfect for off-angle driving or tough-to-reach spaces. KwikTap can be used in today’s pressure-treated lumber.

Using the KwikTap chart makes it easy to find the correct size concrete screw. Complete installation instructions are included in the packaging, including the five basic steps.

Complete System

KwikTap is available in 3/16" and 1/4" diameters with lengths ranging from 1-1/4" to 4". They are packed in quantities 8, 25, or 100 screws. The 25-pack comes with the Platinum Phillips II Driver Bit, and the 100-pack comes with the Platinum Phillips II Driver Bit and Drill Bit in a reusable plastic container.

A complete brochure with pull-out strengths, shear strengths, and ICBO evaluation is available. The KwikTap Concrete Screw is approved by ICBO, Dade County, and the City of Los Angeles.

New Pressure-Treated Lumber
There are improvements in wood-preserving technology. They are in response to a growing market demand for less toxic, more environmentally acceptable preservatives for wood.

These new treatments include ACQ and Micronized Copper. ACQ stands for Alkaline Copper Quat. The central ingredient is 100% recycled copper. Alkaline is a natural base, and quat is a fungicide that attacks decay organisms. Micronized Copper treatments utilize copper but in micro-sized particles.

Phillips Fastener is pleased to announce all of the Phillips II Plus Wood Screws and Phillips II Plus Composite Screws are formulated to work with all types of pressure-treated lumber. All three colors – red, tan, and green – can be used.

Tested to Building Code Standards
Phillips II Plus Wood Screws and Phillips II Plus Composite Screws have passed AC257 testing by an ICC-accredited laboratory. Tested to exposure condition 4 (the most severe category of this test).

Lifetime Guarantee
Phillips Fastener screws are made of high quality hardened steel and are coated with our proprietary barrier coating. The coating is designed to last for the lifetime of your project and will offer corrosion resistance equal to or better than hot-dipped, galvanized nails. The screws are not intended to last longer than the life expectancy of your wood. The reuse of screws is not recommended and will void any guarantee. Phillips Fasteners’ Stainless steel is recommended for coastal and water areas.

Phillips Fastener coating will not prevent staining, streaking or extractive bleeding related to high tannin content lumber such as cedar, redwood and cypress. Properly treating and sealing the lumber in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations is required.

Unless otherwise specified as structural screws, screws are not designed for use in metal hangers, railing supports or for structural applications. Consult your building code and your board manufacturer’s recommendation for proper fasteners and fastening methods.

Note: NOT all screws made by Phillips Fastener are guaranteed. Refer to each product for their feature and benefits including corrosion resistance.

Five Basic Steps for KwikTap Screws

Concrete screws require 1" minimum embedment.

You must pre-drill a proper sized hole, and it must be a minimum of 1/4" deeper than the screw.

The drilled hole must be cleaned of debris after drilling. If the dust that is caused by drilling is not removed, it can cause the screw to bind and be unable to be driven in.

Drive the screw in flush to the concrete. Do not overtighten as that will strip the concrete.

Always follow local building code.
