About This Item
ASTM C1002 is the standard specification for steel self-piercing tapping screws used to attach gypsum panel products or metal plaster bases to wood studs or steel studs. It helps define a common technical basis for selecting and evaluating fasteners intended for these construction assemblies. By setting an ASTM reference for this screw type, the standard supports more consistent product comparison, procurement, and quality expectations across projects where fastening performance matters.
ASTM C1002 standard overview
This ASTM standard focuses on self-piercing tapping screws made from steel and intended for fastening gypsum panel products or metal plaster bases to wood or steel studs. The specification provides a technical framework for the screw type itself, helping users identify products suited to these applications. In practice, ASTM C1002 is used as a reference point for product compliance, specification writing, and evaluation of fastening components in wall and finish construction systems.
Where is ASTM C1002 used?
ASTM C1002 is commonly used in interior construction where gypsum panel products or metal plaster bases are attached to wood studs or steel studs. It is relevant to contractors, manufacturers, and specifiers working with drywall and plaster base assemblies that rely on steel self-piercing tapping screws. The standard is useful during product selection, submittal review, and field installation planning when a project calls for a recognized screw specification for these building materials.
Practical importance of ASTM C1002
Using ASTM C1002 helps create clearer expectations for fastener performance and product consistency in construction work. It supports compliance-focused purchasing and gives project teams a common technical reference for testing, quality control, and specification review. For manufacturers and buyers, the standard can reduce uncertainty when comparing screw products for wood or steel stud applications. For installers, it helps confirm that the chosen fastener matches the intended gypsum panel or plaster base assembly.
