Study Notes

Fasteners Overview

A lag shield anchor consists of a two-part shield featuring tapered internal threads.
Nail size is indicated by the term "penny," commonly denoted with the letter "d."

Fastener Applications

Powder-actuated fastener systems effectively secure objects to concrete slabs and walls.
Tapping screws can be identified by specifications such as 8-20 X 1 Type AB, which indicates a length of 1 inch.
When using screw terminals, it's vital that only solid wire is secured.

Fasteners Types and Features

Common nail types include many variations, but carpentry nails are not among the standard classifications.
Pin rivets serve the primary function of joining two pieces of flat sheet metal.
Cabinet and keystone driver tips are most similar in design.

Attachment Methods

Threaded rods can be secured to steel I-beams using beam clamps.
The specifics of a machine screw labeled 1/4-18 UNC-2 do not provide enough information to determine its length.
Perforated strapping material is utilized with nuts and bolts for securing piping materials.

Terminal and Ring Classifications

Crimped-on solderless terminals include ring tongue, hook tongue, and snap terminal types.
Retaining rings can be classified as either internal or external, aiding in mechanical assembly.

Toggle and Rivet Usage

Proper installation of a toggle bolt requires placing the object on the bolt before threading the toggle onto it.
Hollow rivets are assembled using a pin referred to as a mandrel.
Pipe hooks are the pipe-hanging device that is hammered into wood supports, providing a stable hanging point.

Additional Fastener Insights

Toggle bolts are particularly effective for securing objects to hollow walls, providing reliable support.
