SPRING 2017

THE DISTRIBUTOR’S LINK 55
A new name to the industry
with years of experience, U2
fasteners has raised the
bar for fastener quality.
Uli Walther has been a
pioneer in the fastener industry
since 1990, he has brought
his engineering and values to
U2 fasteners as President.
U2 fasteners has just
released its IAPMO (ER 454)
evaluation to become one of
few fastener companies that
are evaluated and comply
with the International Building
Code and Residential Building
Code for corrosion resistance
(AC233) and structural
strength (AC257). U2
fasteners coating was one
of the first, if not the only one,
which has passed to the 2015
requirements, with ground
contact at .6pcf ACQ treated
lumber. U2 fasteners is
the first fastener company to
offer chrome 6 free coating.
This reduces the risk for end
users not to develop skin
cancer through constant use of
fasteners with surface coating,
containing chromium 6.
Features that set U2
fasteners apart from the rest
are the Tight Star Recess that
grasps the U-Bit tightly until
driven and the screw bites into
the wood much quicker than
others with the Tapper Point.
U2 fasteners offers 5
product lines for residential
construction that engineers
and contractors do agree on
for whatever your project.”
