as described in this Product Technical Guide Sections 3.5
and 3.2.5, respectively. Lateral force resisting systems are
designed to resist the controlling load combinations involving
wind and seismic forces and are a critical component of the
overall building structure. Power-actuated fastening systems
are used for steel deck roof and floor diaphragm frame
attachments and shear wall sheathing attachments to cold-
formed steel framing members. Screw fasteners are also an
integral part of the lateral force resisting systems when used
as structural frame and sidelap connections in diaphragms,
as well as framing connections for cold-formed steel stud and
track wall components. The American Iron and Steel Institute
(AISI) S100 North American Cold-Formed Steel Specification
and AISI S213 North American Standard for Cold-Formed
Steel Framing – Lateral Design provide design provisions and
safety and resistance factors for these structural systems used
to resist wind and seismic forces. These structural systems
involve redundant fastenings in orthogonal directions and are
qualified by large scale diaphragm and shear wall assembly
tests using either quasi-static or cyclic loading protocols.

1 If the moisture content of Pressure-Treated Lumber is high (> 18 %) or unknown, stainless steel fasteners are recommended. Select appropriate stainless steel
grade for your application.
2 Guidelines based on fastener coating / material resistance to environmental corrosion (commonly called “rusting"). Evaluate site conditions which may affect
these guidelines, such as: corrosive agents other than those listed; expected service life; other (non environmental) types of corrosion etc.
3 In highly corrosive environments (such as direct exposure to chlorides with average temperatures above 86 °F (30 °C)) it is generally recommended that a Highly

1 Tabulated diaphragm shear values are for attachment of steel deck to base steel thicknesses ranging from 3/16" to 3/8". For attachment to base steel
thicknesses less than 3/16", diaphragm shear values for the X-EDNK22 fasteners should be calculated in accordance with Section 3.5.1.8.
2 Tabulated LRFD diaphragm shear loads are calculated with a phi factor (Φ) of 0.70 for wind loads. To calculate LRFD values for load combinations involving
earthquake, divide values in table by 0.70 and multiply by a phi factor (Φ) of 0.65. Panel buckling has been checked.
3 At diaphragm perimeter, Hilti frame fasteners should be spaced at identical spacing as sidelap connectors.
4 Interpolation of diaphragm shear strengths and stiffness factors is allowed between span dimensions, sidelap spacings and deck gauge. Alternatively, use

table by 2.35 and divide by a safety factor (Ω) of 2.50. Panel buckling has been checked.
3 At diaphragm perimeter, Hilti frame fasteners should be spaced at identical spacing as sidelap connectors.
4 Interpolation of diaphragm shear strengths and stiffness factors is allowed between span dimensions, sidelap spacings and deck gauge. Alternatively, use calculations as discussed in Section
3.5.1.8 to determine diaphragm shear strengths and stiffness factors directly.
5 To convert from sidelap spacing (SS) to sidelaps per span (SPS), use the following formula: SPS=((span, ft) x 12)/(SS, in.). Round up to the next whole sidelap connector.
6 For 16 gauge steel deck or for high tensile strength (fu > 65 ksi) 18 gauge steel deck, use S-SLC 02 M HWH. More information on Hilti Sidelap Connectors (SLC) can be found in Section 3.5.4.

1 If the moisture content of Pressure-Treated Lumber is high (> 18%) or unknown, stainless steel fasteners are recommended. Select appropriate stainless steel
grade for your application.
2 Guidelines based on fastener coating /material resistance to environmental corrosion (commonly called rusting) and fastener hardening process/ resistance to
hydrogen assisted stress corrosion cracking (HASCC). Evaluate site conditions which may affect these guidelines, such as: corrosive agents other than those
listed; expected service life; other (non-environmental) types of corrosion, etc
3 In highly corrosive environments (such as direct exposure to chlorides with average temperatures above 86 °F (30 °C)) it is generally recommended that a Highly
Corrosive Resistant (HCR) fastener be used. Contact Hilti Technical Support at 877-749-6337 for more information.
4 Pressure treated lumber refers to lumber such as SBX/DOT, Zinc borated ACQ, CA-B, CBA-A treated lumber.
5 Most 400 series stainless steels, such as 410 stainless steel, 410 super-passivated stainless steel and 400 modified stainless steel are generally considered
susceptible to HASCC. Moreover, these grades of stainless steel are 18/0 – they contain chromium but no nickel which reduces corrosion resistance significantly
when compared to 18/8 grades (302, 304) or 18/8/2 grade (316).
6 The decision as to which fastener optimally meets the demands of a specific application is ultimately the judgment of the Engineer of Record or other responsible
person for the project.
7 Reference Section 2.3.3.1 for more information on corrosion resistance.

1 Whether an application requires a depth gauge or torque clutch is the judgment of the person responsible for the project. If conditions are unknown or in doubt,
use a screwdriver that features either an adjustable torque clutch or a properly adjusted depth gauge.
2 All published screw fastening connection capacities were developed using corded or cordless screwdriver tools with adjustable torque clutches. Over-driving
a screw fastener can cause a connection failure in lighter gauge and lower strength steel base materials (the threads tapping the base material are stripped by
excessive torque) or a fastener failure in heavier gauge and higher strength steel base materials (the screw is damaged or sheared by excessive torque). This
type of damage is not always visually detectable. Regardless of the tool or its torque setting, test fastenings should always be performed to verify the
appropriate torque is being applied.

1 The lower of the ultimate pullout, pullover, and tension fastener strength of screw should be used for determination of allowable or
factored resistance loads per footnote 4.
2 Unless noted otherwise, load values based upon calculations done in accordance with Section E4 of AISI S100. ANSI/ASME stan-
dard screw head diameters were used in the calculations and are listed in the tables.
3 Load values based upon testing completed in accordance with AISI S905.
4 AISI S100 recommends a safety factor of 3.0 be applied for allowable strength design (ASD), a Φ factor of 0.5 be applied for LRFD
design and a Φ factor of 0.4 be applied for LSD design.
5 The load data in the table is based upon sheet steel with Fu = 45 ksi. For Fu = 55 ksi steel, multiply values by 1.22. For Fu ≥ 65 ksi
steel, multiply values by 1.44.
6 Refer to Section 3.6.3.5 to ensure optimal drilling capacities.
