		For S1: 1 inch = 25.4 mm; 1lbf/in = 175.127 N/m. ¹Fastener withdrawal was tested in accordance with ASTM D 1761. ²Withdrawal values (W) shall be multiplied by the length of thread penetration in the main member (including tip).	For S1: 1 inch = 25.4 mm; 1lbf/in = 175.127 N/m. ¹Fastener pull-through testing was performed in accordance with ASTM D 1037 with 3/4" thick side members.
