SCREWS
The SDS Strong-Driver has a deep socket and
magnetic tip to help provide a positive installation for
the SDS Screws. Fits a standard drill.
The Simpson Strong-Drive wood screw has a hex
washer head for easy driving with a hex head socket
and a low speed drill. The built-in reamer and type 17
tip cuts a hole to allow installation without predrilling.
Predrilling may be necessary depending on the type
and moisture content of wood. Use drill bit.
WARNING: Industry studies show that hardened
fasteners can experience performance problems in
wet or corrosive environments. Accordingly, use
this product in dry, interior, and noncorrosive
environments only. (Titen and SD8 only)

Identification
on all SDS
screw heads
(SDS x3 shown)
unless specifically stated in this catalog.
8. SD8 requires minimum penetration.
9. Load shown may not match code reports. New tested loads have been submitted to the Code Report Agencies.
10. The SDS screws with HDG finish will be supplied with their corresponding HDG or ZMAX connectors.
11. SDS-HDG available in bulk or 50-piece retail pack.
12. Loads based on NDS calculation for a #14 wood screw or tested ultimate/5. If thread penetration
into main member is less than thread length T as shown in table, reduce allowable load by
172 lbs. x inches of thread not in main member. Use 121 lbs./inch for SPF.
13. Shear: steel side member to wood main member.
14. The (133/160) values for earthquake or wind loading may not be increased any further than shown.
1. Allowable loads for SDS screws are based on testing per ASTM D1761.
2. Metric equivalents are listed by Diameter x Length.
3. Zinc Yellow zinc dichromate, EG Electrogalvanized,
HDG Hot-dip Galvanized.
4. SDS screws install best with a low speed drill with a hex head driver.
5. Wood-to-wood applications are based on a wood thickness of 1 side
member. All applications are based on full penetration into the main member.
6. Shear (100) values may be increased by the wood load duration factor,
C
d, as permitted by the building code.
7. DO NOT USE SD8x1.25" wood screws with structural connectors
