The Plasti-Grip® CI Prong Washer is a premium insulation fastening solution designed for attaching continuous rigid insulation (ci) over primary air and weather barriers.
Universally tested, accepted, or specified for use with all major rigid foam insulation types, it provides a reliable attachment method for demanding building envelope applications.
Featuring dual pre-spotting prongs, the washer allows fast on-the-wall screw assembly without hand assembly. Designed for use with Grip-Deck® screws and fasteners, it securely attaches rigid insulation including extruded polystyrene (XPS), polyisocyanurate (polyiso), mineral wool, and rock wool. Carbon black UV-resistant additives provide prolonged exposure protection during construction. *Made in the USA.
