How do i intall sheet metal screws to cement.

Try to get the concrete screw to go at least an inch into the concrete. Simply drill a hole into the concrete hold the fixture you re fastening over the hole then use a hammer to tap the anchor into. Both systems work well. I used an anchor kit that includes the anchors screws and drill bit link is below.

Drive 1 inch sheet metal screws through the holes in the flange and securely into each anchor. Place the first screw about 7 inches from the bottom and each subsequent screw about 18 to 24 inches apart along the vertical run. Install a screw tip attachment in the drill. If you are attaching something heavy to concrete like a handrail you will need to install the concrete screw farther into the concrete.

Lay out the position of the track strike chalk lines and drill a hole through the metal and into the concrete the full length of the screw. Set screws first at each end of the metal framing track and then every 3 ft. Try the concrete screw first and if it does not grab in the hole you can make the hole larger and insert a plastic or metal expansion shield and install a regular screw to the shed floor. The washer under the screw head should seal to the surface of the panel without bulging or shifting.

Each anchor consists of an unthreaded pin set into a metal sleeve. Repeat the procedure to clean the remaining openings. Secure the screws but do not overtighten. Step 2 hold the steel in the position that you want to attach it to the concrete.
