Wood to steel deck fastener
Wood to steel deck fastener
(OP)
I'm looking for screw fastener to be used in non-structural application of 3/4" plywood on top of 1-1/2", 20 gauge steel deck. A brand name, designation and other info would be appreciated.

If the loads on the fastener are not high (You mentioned this is a non structural application) look into some powder actuated fasteners that have recently come on the market. The shanks of the fasteners are knurled so that they grab the light gauge when driven through it. Can't remener a trade name off hand.

These were 55 or 60mm long with a couple of snap off ears just behind the self tapping point, with a cross head csk head to the fixing.
Method attach the screw to the tool in the drill chuck
and drill into the timber. The ears cut a clearance hole thro' the chipboard and the drill bit on the end will cut ahole in the steel. keep drilling and ears will break off allowing the fixing to self tap the steel and pull it all together. Hope this helps
