SD Strong‑Drive Connector Screw

Product Details

The Strong‑Drive® SD Connector Screw is used with our connectors. Designed to replace nails in certain products, the load-rated Strong‑Drive SD Connector screw has been tested and approved for use in many popular Simpson Strong‑Tie® products.

In certain applications screws are easier and more convenient to install than nails, and the single-fastener load values achieved by the SD9 and SD10 exceed those of typical 10d common or 16d common nails, respectively. In addition, the galvanised coating makes the Strong‑Drive SD Connector screw ideal for interior and most exterior conditions.

The Strong‑Drive SD Connector screw features an optimised shank, specifically designed for capability with the fastener holes in Simpson Strong‑Tie connectors.

These coated fasteners possess a level of corrosion resistance that makes them suitable for use in some exterior and corrosive environments and with some preservative-treated timber.
For applications in higher-exposure applications, consider Type-300 series stainless-steel fasteners for superior corrosion resistance. Bit(s) included with every box of screws.
Pre-drilling and countersink may be necessary at ends, butt joints, and on applications where denser material is used. Follow board manufacturers recommendations where applicable.
