I need to know if Tapcons qualify for use with the new treated wood – before Monday. I called the lumberyard & they didn’t know. Sorry if this has already been addressed –

the real Tapcon that is...
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming
WOW!!! What a Ride!
Forget the primal scream, just ROAR!!!
Try their website. If the manufacturer doesn't say it's rated for it, then it probably is not going to hold up.

Yup, thanks. That's a reliable enough source.
Thanks again guys. I should have thought of the website. It looks like they're ok.
Your post did not specify which treated wood product, the ACQ or the Borate. The borate(HI-Bor) requires hot dipped galvy fastners and the Tapcon site only mentions ACQ. Something to consider. I'll email Tapcon about HI-Bor. All we can get over here now is the Hi-Bor, so it will be a good thing to know.
