Description
Overview
The FMTHR008-24 ThruLok Screw System (FMTHR008-24) is designed for structural post-to-rim-joist and post-to-blocking connections in deck and framing applications. Engineered by FastenMaster, the ThruLok System combines the load capacity of a traditional through-bolted connection with the installation speed of a screw-style Lok fastener, eliminating the need for separate bolts, nuts, and washers on qualifying connections.

Technical Features
- Through-bolt equivalent strength: The ThruLok System is engineered to deliver the structural load capacity of a through-bolted connection, making it suitable for code-relevant post-to-framing assemblies.
- Screw-style installation: Installs like a FastenMaster Lok fastener, reducing installation time compared to traditional bolt-and-nut assemblies that require access to both faces of the connection.
- 8 in. fastener length: Sized specifically to fully penetrate 4×4 post stock and engage a double rim joist, single rim joist, or 2x blocking ensuring the required thread engagement for structural connections.
- 24-count pack: Bulk pack quantity supports multi-post deck framing projects without repeated restocking interruptions on the job site.
Applications
- Connecting 4×4 posts to a double rim joist in deck and platform framing.
- Connecting 4×4 posts to a single rim joist where framing layout requires single-member bearing.
- Connecting 4×4 posts to 2x blocking within a framing bay.
- Any structural post-to-framing application where a through-bolted connection strength is required but single-sided tool access is preferred.
