Suitable for shallow pitched roofs
(P 5 0° to 5°), depending on load-
ing. In the absence of upward
loads, the WT fastener can also be
inserted eccentrically to improve
load-bearing capacity against tilting.

Suitable for moderately pitched
roofs (P 5 5° to 15°), depending on
loading. In the absence of upward
loads, the WT fastener inserted
straight can also be inserted eccen-
trically to improve load-bearing
capacity against tilting.
Suitable for steeply pitched roofs
(P 5 10°), depending on loading. In
the absence of upward loads, the
WT fastener can also be inserted
eccentrically to improve load-bear-
ing capacity against tilting.
