All systems go. A self-countersinking fastener designed
especially for vehicle floor installations.
I
n plywood and plymetal
vehicle floor applications, you need
a fastener that’s strong, vibrationresistant and watertight. Just as
importantly, you want a fastening
system that’s designed to reduce
installation costs. In a big way.
Introducing the Huck FloorTight
fastener, the revolutionary new
fastener that performs impressively
from the word go.
The benefits of a blind fastener
are easy to see.
Alcoa Fastening Systems' blind
FloorTight fasteners mean one-man,
one-sided installation, which cuts
your labor costs in half, adding up
to huge savings. Not only does the
FloorTight fastener go a long way, so
does your manufacturing dollar.
Self-countersinking feature.
Here’s the great news. The Huck
FloorTight fastener eliminates the
counterboring process in plywood,
and the dimpling process in
plymetal. Just drill a straight hole
and the FloorTight fastener sinks
perfectly. You now have an extremely
strong fastener installed with one
less step.
Get a grip on it. Large grip range
eliminates the guesswork.
The FloorTight fastening system
accommodates material thickness
ranging from .750 to 1.625 inches.
And what’s more, our fasteners offer
high clamp, high tensile and high
shear strength, which eliminates
shifting and buckling of your floor.
Watertight. Because rust
never sleeps.
Unlike ordinary nuts and bolts, the
FloorTight fastener is watertight on
the blind side, preventing moisture
from entering through the body of
the installed fastener.
Superior performance, time
after time.
When it comes to holding power,
FloorTight never gives up. Its design
eliminates overtorque, head
poppers and loosening common
in conventional floor screws.
Easy removal, no damage.
The FloorTight system provides easy
fastener removal for quick access
under the floor panel. Panels are not
damaged upon removal and can
easily be refastened.
Easy on the ears.
And the environment.
Alcoa Fastening Systems use quiet,
non-torque tools for lower noise
in the plant. And health risks are
reduced because operator muscles
and joints are not subjected to the
constant torque of power tools.
Strong support.
Alcoa Fastening Systems’ skilled and
knowledgeable technicians are ready
and waiting with valuable
consultation, evaluation, installation
assistance, and in-depth staff
training. No other fastening company
can match this level of premium,
value-added support.
Huck FloorTight®
Self-countersinking head
eliminates the counterboring
process in plywood, as well
as dimpling in plymetal floors.
A high-strength pin locks in place
within the shear plane for added
holding power and durability.
Expansion within the weather-side
stringer, coupled with the 360°
internal lock provides excellent
moisture resistance on the
weather side.
360° internal locking feature creates
a solid mechanical lock to prevent
loosening.
Installation Sequence
1
Insert fastener in hole. Apply
installation tool.
2
The nose assembly (orange),
attached to Huck’s installation
tool, is placed over the pintail
(white). When the trigger is
pressed, the nose assembly jaws
(red) pull on the pintail, drawing
the pin though the sleeve,
causing the blind side sleeve
to expand, partially setting the
sleeve in the top sheet and
pulling out all the sheet gap.

Continued pulling on the pintail
The pin is then separated
forms a mechanical lock between
the pin and sleeve end. The
anvil on the installation tool then
countersinks the fastener head
into the top of the material to
a preset depth set by the anvil.
The anvil’s large bearing face
then prevents further travel of the
sleeve head into the top material.

Note: The blind-side stringer must
withstand force of fastener installation
without pulling through the material. The
manufacturer recommends a minimum
of 1/8", however, stringers as thin as
.100" may function properly under certain
conditions. Fastener performance may
vary depending on the grade of plywood.

Huck Installation Tooling
POWERIG® Hydraulic Units
Huck installation tools consist of a nose assembly and a tool.
The choice of tool and nose assembly is determined by the
fastener diameter and application. Tools and nose assemblies
are easily changed as installation requirements demand. Huck
offers air driven and hydraulic installation tools. Air driven
tools operate on 90 – 100 psi air pressure. The lighter weight
hydraulic tools operate on hydraulic power supplied by a Huck
POWERIG ® hydraulic unit.
Huck hydraulic units provide pressurized hydraulic fluid
for installation tools. The Model 940 is a mid-sized unit
designed for production and repair applications. For more
demanding production choose the Model 918, it can power
up to three tools with no performance loss. Both of these
units are electrically powered. Hose kits are available in
lengths of 12’ to 52’.
