Wotu Discusses Improving Installation Techniques for Self-Drilling Screws

2026-05-20 15:30:40

As we all know, self-drilling screws are now widely used in various fields, such as construction, road construction, power construction, factory construction, and equipment fixing.

Since they are pre-embedded in concrete structures and are considered pre-installed fasteners, the technical quality of this concealed project is particularly important. Over the years, these manufacturers have gradually established their own brands, and we have also established our own brand: Wotu – a self-drilling screw manufacturer.

Drilling screws may experience deviations during installation. As long as the deviation is within the allowable range, it will not cause any problems. We measure the deviation at the top and base, and it is approximately ±2.0 mm, with the top elevation around ±20 mm. After the pre-embedding is completed, the bolts should be promptly maintained and marked, and finished product protection should be ensured. This involves applying grease to the threads of the self-drilling screw to protect them. For added safety, a protective sleeve is recommended. After these measures are taken, concrete pouring can begin. During concrete pouring, especially when using pumped concrete, care must be taken to avoid the concrete compressing the self-drilling screw, as this can cause displacement. The concrete pump pipe should avoid contact with the screw as much as possible. When close to the screw, manual sprinkling of concrete is recommended. When using a vibrator, it should be controlled to avoid excessive vibration. Adhering to these principles will ensure the quality of the self-drilling screw.

Hebei Wotu Fastener Manufacturing Co., Ltd. strives to provide excellent service, timely delivery, and small products with high safety standards. We are committed to a win-win philosophy and look forward to cooperating with you for a brighter future!

Which U-Bolt Measurements Must Buyers Provide Before a Quote?

For an M10–M24 U-bolt RFQ, buyers should send a dimensioned drawing that defines thread diameter, inside width, leg or overall length, bend geometry, thread length, application diameter, material or grade requirement, surface finish, matching nuts/washers, quantity, and packing needs. Nominal thread size alone is not enough because different measurement datums can produce U-bolts that look […]

What Must Buyers Verify Before Ordering L-Shaped Anchor Bolts to an Older Standard?

When ordering L-shaped anchor bolts against an older standard, buyers should verify the standard’s current status, confirm the specification approved for the project, and reconcile the drawing, dimensions, material and foundation interface before releasing the purchase order. A legacy standard number on a product page or old drawing is not, by itself, sufficient evidence that […]
