The CSA is a self-drilling Flat Head screw with a Type-17 Point tip suitable for installing construction connectors to timber structures. 

The CSA connector screw is specifically designed to fasten steel brackets to wood. The smooth shaft under the head fits tightly to the hole in the bracket. This provides a stiff connection with larger cross-resistance than standard screws.  

CSA screws can replace CNA nails, when used in the same connection detail, as they have greater pullout strength per unit than a CNA nail, and at least the same cross-bearing capacity.

These coated fasteners possess a level of corrosion resistance that makes them suitable for use in some exterior and corrosive environments and with some preservative-treated timber. For applications in higher-exposure applications, consider Type-300 series stainless-steel fasteners for superior corrosion resistance. Bit(s) included with every box of screws.

Pre-drilling and countersink may be necessary at ends, butt joints, and on applications where denser material is used. Follow board manufacturers recommendations where applicable.
