Product Overview
SDS25300SS-R25 Heavy-Duty Connector Screw (Box of 25pcs)
The Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screw is a 1/4"-diameter high-strength structural screw ideal for various connector installations as well as wood-to-wood and engineered wood applications. It installs with no predrilling and has been extensively tested in various applications. The SDS is improved with a patented easy driving Type-17 point and a corrosion-resistant double-barrier coating.
The SDS Strong-Drive 1/4" wood screw line has expanded to include stainless-steel SDS screws in 1 1/2" to 3 1/2" lengths, suitable for fastening Simpson Strong-Tie stainless-steel products. Offering the same easy-driving, split-reducing installation of the standard SDS screw, these screws are made from Type 316 stainless steel. The new stainless-steel SDS screws are appropriate for higher-exposure environments where maximum corrosion-resistance is required.
Key Features:
Available with a double-barrier coating and Type 316 stainless steel
Type-17 point (coated and stainless versions) enable easy driving with no predrilling and minimal wood splitting
3/8" hex head with 0.48" integrated washer
Head is stamped with the Simpson Strong-Tie "≠" sign and fastener length for easy identification after installation
Replacement driver bit — BITHEXR38-134
Applications:
Heavy-duty Simpson Strong-Tie connectors
Installation:
Install Tip: A low-speed 1/2" drill with a 3/8" hex driver is the recommended tool for installation
Options:
SDS25312SS-R25L, SDS25312-R25L and SDS25500-R25L packaged in a ledger-specific box with 3/8" hex-driver bit
Material:
Heat-treated carbon steel; Type-316 stainless steel
Finish:
Double-barrier coating provides corrosion resistance equivalent to hot-dip galvanization.
