These sturdy 0.390"-diameter structural fasteners provide extra strength for demanding applications requiring large-sized structural members. The compact cylinder head provides clean countersinking with a reduced footprint. The yellow zinc, fully-threaded screw, with a proprietary point, provides fast starts and excellent withdrawal resistance. For interior and dry applications only.
Strong-Drive® SDCF TIMBER-CF Screw (Black E-Coat)
The newly redesigned Strong-Drive SDCF Timber-CF screw is a structural fastener designed for cross-laminated timber (CLT), mass timber construction and general interior applications, providing uncompromised strength for demanding applications. The large flat head with underhead nibs enables clean countersinking and a flush finish. The SawTooth® point ensures fast starts, reducing installation torque and eliminating the need for predrilling in most applications. The black e-coat finish enhances aesthetics and, along with the optimized hardness profile, helps mitigate risk of brittle fracture for reliable, long-term performance.
The Strong-Drive SDCP Timber-CP screw is a structural fastener available in a variety of lengths and is designed for cross-laminated timber construction, mass timber construction and general interior applications. These partially-threaded, 0.315"- and 0.390"-diameter structural fasteners are designed to pull structural members together with superb holding power. The large flat head with underhead nibs provides for clean countersinking. The SDCP Timber-CP has a yellow zinc coating, a robust knurled shank and Type-17 point for fast starts and low-torque driving.
Strong-Drive® SDHR Combo-Head Screw
The Strong-Drive SDHR Combo-Head screw is a structural fastener designed for cross-laminated timber construction, mass timber construction and general interior applications. These partially-threaded, sturdy 0.390"- and 0.470"-diameter structural fasteners are designed to pull structural members together while providing excellent connection strength. The “combination” head allows for driving using either a hex driver bit or T40 6-lobe driver bit. The SDHR Combo-Head has an interior-grade, blue zinc coating, a robust knurled shank and Type-17 point for fast starts and low-torque driving.
Build every project faster, easier and stronger than ever with the Wafer-Head Construction screw from Simpson Strong-Tie. Featuring a strong pull-through resistance, this versatile fastening solution is ideal for everything from cabinetry to framing to outdoor furniture and other home improvement projects. Its patented SawTooth® point eliminates the need to predrill and saves you time, while the 6-lobe drive recess head makes driving secure and easy. And the Wafer-Head Construction screw's Quik Guard® coating makes it suitable for both interior and exterior applications.
The Strong-Drive SDWF Floor-to-Floor screw is designed to simplify the wind-uplift restraint connection while providing superior performance over the life of the structure. The unique design of the SDWF enables it to attach upper and lower walls together from the top, spanning the floor system and providing an easy-to-install connection within the continuous uplift load path of the structure.
The innovative Take-Up Washer (TUW™) plays a key role in the long-term performance of the SDWF when installed between the screw head and the sole plate of the upper floor. As the structure settles because of shrinkage and construction loading, the threaded portion under the head of the screw ratchets up through the tabs of the TUW, which is fastened with Simpson Strong-Tie® Strong-Drive SD Connector screws. The interlock between the tabs of the take-up washer and the threads under the head of the SDWF prevent the screw from sliding back under load, providing a simple yet reliable means of shrinkage compensation up to 3/4" per story.
Strong-Drive® SDPW™ Deflector Screw
The Strong-Drive SDPW Deflector screw from Simpson Strong-Tie is a premium structural fastening solution for connecting non-load-bearing walls to trusses and joists. With tested lateral-load ratings that meet building code requirements, the SDPW screw is value engineered for strength, installation speed and safety. Offset driver bits and a driver extension maximize installation speed and safety while minimizing installed cost. The SDPW’s screw and polymer sleeve permit the naturally occurring differential deflection between the wall and the supporting member without squeaking.
Strong-Drive® CSV Construction Screw
The CSV Construction screw is a versatile, multi-purpose fastening solution for a variety of interior applications. With its underhead nibs, low-torque threads and fast-start point, the CSV Construction screw drives effortlessly and is ideally suited to be countersunk into today’s wood or engineered-wood materials. Available in convenient quantities, CSV Construction screws are offered in select sizes for fastening a variety of projects.
Strong-Drive® SDW™ Truss-Ply Screw
The Strong-Drive SDW Truss-Ply screw is a high-strength structural wood screw specifically designed for fastening multi-ply wood members, such as joining plated trusses and solid-sawn lumber. The SDW installs easily with no predrilling and is available in optimized lengths for fastening 2-, 3- and 4-ply trusses. With the SDW Truss-Ply screw, multi-ply trusses and components can be fastened from one side without requiring the lifting and flipping of heavy assemblies. It is code listed in IAPMO UES ER-192 and meets 2018 and 2021 IRC® and IBC® code requirements for most common wood framing applications with wood and engineered wood.
Strong-Drive® SDWC® Truss Screw
The Strong-Drive SDWC Truss screw provides a stud-to-bottom plate or stud-to-top plate connection as well as fastening trusses and rafters to top plates. The fully-threaded shank engages the entire length of the fastener, providing a secure connection. The SDWC is tested in accordance with ICC-ES AC233 (screw) and AC13 (wall assembly and roof-to-wall assembly) for uplift and lateral loads between wall plates and vertical wall framing and between the top plate and the roof rafters or trusses. It is code listed under IAPMO-UES ER-262 and meets 2018 and 2021 IRC® and IBC® code requirements for most common wood framing applications.
