FK-T30 Frame Screws – 7.5 mm, 100 pcs.

Universal frame screw for windows, doors and TRIOTHERM+ installations

The blaugelb FK-T30 Frame Screw is a professional 7.5 mm direct-fixing screw for the plug-free installation of windows, doors, structural insulation profiles and other construction components.

It can be used in a wide range of common construction substrates including concrete, solid concrete block, calcium silicate brick, solid fired-clay brick, structural timber, lightweight aggregate concrete, aerated concrete and highly insulated clay blocks.

The FK-T30 is particularly suitable for mechanically fixing load-transferring TRIOTHERM+ profiles, assembly brackets and supports to the load-bearing building structure.

It can also be used for the direct fixing of window and door frames and is suitable for timber, PVC, aluminium and timber/aluminium frame systems.

The tapered thread tip reduces screw-in torque, while the TX T30 drive provides efficient and reliable transmission of the installation torque.

TRIOTHERM+ installation

The FK-T30 Frame Screw is used to mechanically secure TRIOTHERM+ structural thermal support profiles to the load-bearing building structure.

TRIOTHERM+ profiles are first bonded and sealed using Power FIX and are then mechanically fixed using suitable FK-T30 Frame Screws in accordance with the applicable installation detail.

Screw length, fixing position, screw-in depth and the number of fixings must be selected according to the substrate, TRIOTHERM+ profile, installation geometry and loads.

Window and door installation

FK-T30 can also be used for direct, plug-free installation of windows and doors into suitable substrates.

The screw is suitable for all common frame materials including timber, PVC, aluminium and timber/aluminium constructions.

Substrate preparation and screw-in depths

The required drill-hole diameter and screw-in depth depend on the substrate. Drilling dust should be removed from the hole after drilling.

For concrete, the FK-T30 must achieve a minimum screw-in depth of 40 mm into the load-bearing substrate.

Due to differences in the structure, density and strength of individual building materials, preliminary fixing tests are recommended where required.

Choosing the correct screw length

The required FK-T30 screw length is calculated from:

Component or profile thickness + joint width + required screw-in depth = required screw length

The manufacturer recommends a joint width of no more than approximately 15 mm for this calculation.

The drill-hole depth should normally be approximately 10 mm deeper than the required screw-in depth.

For direct or clamping installation, the relevant system and manufacturer requirements for minimum edge distances must also be observed. The manufacturer's technical data specifies a minimum edge distance of 60 mm for the described applications.

Required installation tool

A TX T30 driver bit is required for installation.

TRIOTHERM+ Profile, Power FIX and FK-T30 Frame Screws form the TRIOTHERM+ fastening system.

Power FIX provides the bonding and sealing connection between the TRIOTHERM+ profile and the substrate, while the FK-T30 Frame Screws provide the required mechanical, force-transmitting connection to the load-bearing structure.

Power FIX does not replace the required mechanical fixing of the TRIOTHERM+ profiles.

Screw length, screw-in depth, number of fixings and fixing positions must be selected according to the actual substrate, TRIOTHERM+ profile, installation geometry and loads.

For TRIOTHERM+ installations, the applicable system documentation, ETA-23/0620 and official installation instructions must be observed.
