Omg Inc FMTLOK08-50A 8 Inch Structural Wood Screw 50 Pack

Product Description

The OMG INC FMTLOK08-50A is an 8-inch structural wood screw sold in a 50-count box under the FastenMaster Timberlok product line. Designed for heavy timber and structural lumber connections, this screw drives directly through pressure treated wood without pre-drilling, reducing installation steps and labor time. The corrosion resistant coating makes it suitable for outdoor and treated-lumber applications where long-term fastener integrity is required. Each box contains 50 screws and weighs 11.74 pounds, making it a practical quantity for framing crews and structural carpentry work.

This screw is intended for structural wood-to-wood connections in residential and light commercial construction. Typical applications include deck framing, ledger attachments, post and beam connections, and timber framing where a single-step fastening solution eliminates the need for a separate pilot hole. The no-pre-drill design is particularly useful when working with dense or pressure treated lumber where conventional lag screws require multiple tool changes and additional setup time.

Key Features

• 8-inch length for deep structural wood connections
• No pre-drilling required — drives directly through pressure treated lumber
• Corrosion resistant coating for outdoor and treated-wood compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as a structural wood fastener for use with pressure treated lumber and heavy timber in residential and light commercial framing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by carpenters and framing crews using a standard hex-drive impact driver or drill. No pilot hole is required, but fastener placement should comply with applicable structural requirements under the IRC or project-specific engineering specifications. Always follow local building codes regarding fastener spacing, edge distance, and load path requirements for structural connections.
