Product Spotlight: Elco TapFast Screws

Almost everyone in a construction trade that uses fasteners is familiar with the Elco brand name. While most contractors know some of Elco’s more popular items like Bi-Flex and Dril-Flex screws, a lesser known but equally respected product from Elco is their line of TapFast fasteners.

Elco TapFast screws are high-performing fasteners specifically designed to attach lightweight metal panels to wooden framed structures. These screws feature aluminum EPDM bonded sealing washers provide a weather-tight seal, as well as high-low threads that increase performance. The Type 17 point easily penetrates multiple panel thicknesses, and all TapFast fasteners are coated with a Stalgard finish to prevent red rust or other base metal corrosion on significant surfaces.

Elco TapFast screws have a #10 diameter, with lengths ranging from 1” to 3”. To learn more about these innovative fasteners, contact Mudge Fasteners at (800) 634-0406 for pricing and information.
