X-U fastner washer applications

Question regarding X-U fastner washer options. Per catalog X-U fasteners can be provided with a plastic washer, a platic and steel washer, or a platic washer with metal tophat. What applications would the three of those options be best to use? Which option works best for light gage track to concrete? Do either of those options affect ease of installation?

Aaron, 

The three different options for the X-U fastener available for purchase will allow for the use of the fastener in multiple applications; however, there is not a standard listing of when to use one model over the other. It is common though to see the X-U with the metal washer or top-hat washer used in track-to-concrete/steel applications in order to increase the bearing area of the fastener to the track. 

Let us know if you have any additional questions.
