Product catalog summary
Overview: The document discusses the importance and application of the Extractor fastener tester in the building industry, particularly for validating and checking faulty fixing anchors in both new and old constructions. It highlights the significance of pull testers in ensuring the mechanical fasteners meet wind load requirements.
Specifications: The document details various models and accessories of pull testers, including:
  • A Pull tester with a calibrated gauge (1000lb or 2000lb, analog or digital).
  • Lifter foot for standard roofing screws (shank: 1/4” – Head: 5/8”).
  • Fixuroof portable pull-tester for base ply fasteners.
  • Tile uplift portable tester for roof tiles with a force gauge (Capacity 100lb).
Procedures: The pull tester system is used to validate the withdraw resistance of fixings on substrates like brickwork and concrete. The process involves applying a tensile load using a hand crank, with the gauge displaying the peak pull-out force.
Standards and Recommendations: Com-Ten pull-out testers are recognized as the world standard for direct tensile tests on roofing fasteners. The document emphasizes the reliability and flexibility of these testers across various substrates and situations.
Accessories: The kits come with a range of accessories, including:
  • Fabric lifter foot (shank: 5/8”–Head: 1.25-3.5”).
  • Replacement fabric membranes.
  • Heavy-duty deck plate lifter foot (shank: 7/8” – Head: 3.5”).
  • Tile Lifter foot TLF1120.

Pull tester for roofing fasteners-1

The Extractor fastener tester is an essential tool in building industries, where it is important to validate and check for faulty fixing anchors on both new and old construction. This dedicated kit comes with a full range of accessories: - A Pull tester (with its calibrated gauge 1000lb or 2000lb, analog or digital) - Lifter foot for standard roofing screw LFS0250 (shank: 1/4” – Head: 5/8”) The Fixuroof portable pull-tester is an accurate unit, designed for testing on the field the pull-out force for base ply fastener. Easily determine whether the mechanical fastener provides sufficient resistance to static uplift force to meet the wind load requirements. Today, Com-Ten pull-out tester are accepted as the world standard for direct tensile test on roofing fasteners and construction, and the name Com-Ten is synonymous with the technique. Com-Ten has, since the beginning of the 60's, been forerunners in the development of fastener testers and mechanical attachment to suit almost all applications. The principal objective in the use of a pull tester system is to validate the withdraw resistance of fixings on substrate. During the last decade the use of pull tester has become more and more widespread. And for good reasons. The usage of Com-Ten pull tester is a very simple, flexible and reliable method that can be used on various substrates: Brickwork, Concrete and with almost any situations encountered during the fixing process.
