PRODUCT REQUIREMENTS
|
|
When using Tiger Claw fasteners please review and comply with these requirements to obtain proper installation. Failure to follow these requirements may result in deck failure and/or void of warranty.
Inspect decking material prior to installation. Omit any planks that contain hooks, twists, splits, cracks, or other defects. Always install decking with the crown upward.
When using:
Recommended for use in 5/4" or thicker decking. If using pre-grooved decking be sure that the groove is the correct dimension and location on the board so that it is compatible with the TC-G fastener. (see groove specs below) A router or biscuit joiner can be used to create grooves in solid edge decking.
