directions.
Perpendicular orientation with guarantee:
The stop collar
To ensure that screws can be screwed into components, their threads
naturally have a slope from the tip towards the screw head. If the threads
meet the component, the screw tends to tilt parallel to the course of the
threads. This inclined position means that the sliding points cannot be
optimally executed and therefore optimum sliding of the facade cladding is
not possible. The stop collar of the LT-TD screws counteracts this problem
and automatically aligns the screws perpendicular when they hit the stop
collar on the substructure. This guarantees perfectly executed sliding points.

The assembly process – simple, with process-reliability
1. Fixed point 2. Sliding point
1.1 2.1
Insert LT-TD grommet
The grommet is inserted at a slight angle into the factory-made
drill hole in the facade cladding. The snap-on feet are pressed
together and pushed into the drill hole with a tilting movement.
1.2 2.2
Lock grommet
The grommet is pushed through the drilled hole until the snap-

on feet on the back of the facade cladding protrude and snap
into place. This way the grommet is securely locked in the
facade cladding.
1.3 2.3
Position LT-TD screw
The centering ring of the grommet is used to position the screw
exactly in the center of the drill hole. The LT/STS tool ensures
reliable screw guidance.
1.4 2.4
Fastening operation
Swarf is produced during screw fastening, which can be
discharged through the air gap between the cladding and the
substructure.
1.5 2.5
Stop collar
The screw is screwed in up to the stop collar. This controls
the exact setting depth for a defined clamping area, ensures
perpendicular alignment of the screw and increases the contact
surface of the grommet between the facade panel and sub-
structure.
1.6 2.6
Installation complete
For the fixed point (1.6), collets of the grommet enclose the
fastener shank and ensure a tight fit of the cladding. The sliding
point (2.6) ensures relative displacement (dilatation) of 3 mm in
all directions.
