Not shear load capacity, but pullout for various sizes in various gauges of sheet steel. ThanksDoes anyone know of a reference giving pull-out loads for sheet metal screws?
I'd find a manufacturer or distributor. Most of the time they even have that information on their website. If not, give them a call; that information should be readily available.Does anyone know of a reference giving pull-out loads for sheet metal screws?
No. But why would you EVER use a sheet metal screw for a load bearing function? Sounds like bad engineering practice to me.
That's how the sheeting on a metal building is secured. They seem to work fine. Just look at the number of metal buildings in use.
