Coverage & How Much You Need:
One plate serves one fastener position, so box coverage depends on your fastening density; divide the roof area by the plates-per-square required by your uplift design to size how many 1,000-count boxes you need.
Fit and Compatibility:
Use with compatible #3 Phillips drive screws designed for steel decks with the mini drill-point described. Suited to single-ply membrane fastening in the WeatherBond system; fasteners are sold separately.

Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
For steel-deck membrane attachment where uplift slip resistance matters, the 12-barb HPWX plate adds holding power at each fastener. Match the fastener length to the deck and insulation thickness, and respect the plates-per-square from your uplift calculation. The included #3 Phillips bit keeps crews moving right out of the box.
Wear gloves and eye protection when handling steel plates and driving fasteners, and follow the fastener manufacturer's installation guidelines.
Order WeatherBond HPWX Plates, 2-3/8 in., 1,000 per box, for dependable membrane fastening under uplift.
