Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive SDWC SDWC15600B-KT Truss Screw Kit, 6 in L, Cap Head, 6-Lobe Drive, Type-17 Point

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 full-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. Cap-style head countersinks fully into the double-top-plate to avoid interference with drywall or finish trades Wide tolerance on installation angle makes it easy to install the SDWC correctly Can be installed from inside the structure, eliminating exterior work on the upper stories and enhancing job safety Fastening can be performed before or after exterior sheathing is applied for added flexibility Type-17 point for faster starts and easier driving Orange color for easy inspection Matched-tolerance driver bit (included) engages fastener head securely to allow one-handed driving
