8.5.1 Screws shall be able to self-drill and thread into
cold-formed steel thicknesses without breaking or stripping as
specified by each specific manufacturer’s published recom-
mendations. Manufacturers shall provide a min-max recom-
mendation with the drill capacity of each self-drilling point
style screw.
