Product Overview
SDWC15450B-KT Strong-Drive Truss Screw (Carton of 500pcs)
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. It is code listed under IAPMO-UES ER-262 and meets 2012 and 2015 IRC and IBC code requirements for several common framing applications.
Key Features:
Fully threaded shank engages the entire length of the fastener, providing a secure connection between the roof and wall framing members
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
Metal installation guide tool (included) to help ensure proper installation
Matched-tolerance driver bit (included) engages fastener head securely to allow one-handed driving (replacement bit part no. BIT30T-2-RC3)
Orange color for easy inspection
Type-17 point for faster starts and easier driving
