Omg Inc FMTLOK08-12 Timberlok Wood Screw 8 in 12 Pack

Product Description

The OMG INC FMTLOK08-12 is an 8-inch Timberlok structural wood screw sold in a 12-pack, designed for heavy-duty timber connections in wood-frame construction. This fastener drives directly through pressure treated lumber without pre-drilling, reducing labor time and eliminating a step from the installation workflow. The corrosion-resistant coating makes it suitable for outdoor and treated-wood applications where fastener degradation is a common failure point. Licensed contractors and skilled carpenters use this screw for ledger boards, post-to-beam connections, and other structural timber assemblies where a reliable, single-step fastener is required.

The FMTLOK08-12 is suited for residential and light commercial wood-frame construction projects. Typical applications include deck framing, post and beam connections, ledger attachments, and structural timber work where large-diameter fasteners replace traditional through-bolts or lag screws. The screw is packaged in a clamshell pack of 12, making it practical for jobsite use. Its no-pre-drill design is particularly useful in pressure treated lumber applications where grain hardness and chemical treatment can cause standard fasteners to split material or stall during installation.

Key Features

• 8-inch length handles thick timber-to-timber and timber-to-framing connections
• No pre-drilling required — drives directly through pressure treated wood
• Corrosion-resistant finish rated for use with pressure treated lumber
• Single-step installation reduces labor time on structural fastening tasks
• Clamshell pack of 12 keeps fasteners organized and accessible on the jobsite

Compatibility

Designed as a structural wood fastener for use in pressure treated and standard dimensional lumber applications typical of residential and light commercial wood-frame construction.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by carpenters, framers, or general contractors working on structural wood assemblies. While pre-drilling is not required, a heavy-duty drill or impact driver with adequate torque is recommended for consistent seating into dense or treated timber. Installers should verify that fastener spacing and placement meet applicable building code requirements, including IRC or IBC structural fastening schedules where applicable. Always confirm that the corrosion-resistance rating of the fastener is appropriate for the preservative treatment class of the lumber being used.
