(12) Nylon Tipped Set Screws

Nylon Tip Set Screws for SSRA1 Anchors – Pack of 12

Optimize the performance of your standing-seam roof anchor systems with our 12-pack of nylon-tip set screws. These screws are precisely designed for use with the RC clamp, RCT clamp, and SSRA1 seam anchors, providing a reliable, non-penetrating attachment to standing-seam panels. Ideal for both professional contractors and DIY enthusiasts, these nylon tip set screws are perfect for situations where minimizing surface damage is critical, particularly when avoiding paint scratches during anchor installations.

The nylon tip set screws are consumables and should be replaced every 3-5 installations for optimal performance. Whether you’re a contractor or a homeowner, these screws offer the perfect balance of strength and surface protection for any fall protection installation.

Compatible with All SSRA1 Seam Clamps and Roof Clamps RC and RCT

Our nylon tip set screws are engineered for versatility, making them an essential component of various fall protection systems, including theSSRA1 4-Piece Pro Pack, 8-Piece Contractors Pack, Ultimate Pro Pack, and Roof Jack Pro Pack. By choosing our nylon tip set screws, you ensure that your standing seam roof anchor system remains secure and ready for any task. These screws are a must-have for contractors who prioritize both safety and the preservation of roofing materials.

Precision Engineering for Non-Penetrating Attachment

These nylon tip set screws measure 3/8-16×1″ stainless steel with a durable nylon insert, designed to provide a firm, non-penetrating grip on standing seam panels while minimizing the risk of paint scratches and surface damage. The nylon tips reduce marring compared to non-nylon versions, making them ideal for projects where the visual integrity of the roofing material is paramount. These screws are compatible with 22 and 24-gauge steel panels, offering flexibility across various roofing installations.

Installation Recommendations

These screws require180-200 in/lbs of torque and a 3/16″ Allen/hex bit for installation. Installation is easy: start the screws by hand to avoid cross-threading, then switch to a screwgun and torque wrench for final tightening. Avoid using impact guns, as they may over-torque the screws and damage the threads in the clamps. The nylon tip color may vary, but this does not affect the performance or reliability of the screws.

Nylon Tip Set Screw Frequently Asked Questions

Why are nylon-tipped screws required for 24-gauge steel roofs?

Thinner 24-gauge steel is more susceptible to tearing under the high pressure of a standard cupped set screw. The nylon tip provides a broader, less-marring contact point that achieves the required coefficient of friction at higher torque without compromising the metal panel’s integrity. Our 3rd-party lab test reports conclude that nylon tip set screws perform better on 24-gauge steel panels.
