New balustrades at Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club’s Trent

Tapcon anchors.
Swedfast AB (Scandinavian industry) and ThoméeHDF (Swedish

INDEZ from
INDEX
INDEX says that the elaborate design and technical
characteristics of its TEXZ screw, make it the best
choice in the market today for applications which
require top performance.
The TEXZ screw has a mixed six-spline and cross
recess, which allows both types of tips, with optimum
torque guaranteed by both. It also has an expeller which
throws the shaving out of the hole during the drilling
and has a high pitch for a fast drive.
Twelve ribs in the lower part of the head generate a
direct countersink during the installation of the screw
and a special ‘Tornado Tip’ + GSWR which triturates the
fibres, facilitates the installation and the balance of
penetration.
