Simpson Strong-Tie SDWS16312QR50 .160 x 3-1/2" QuikGuard Framing Screw 50ct
The SDWS Framing screw is designed and load-rated for replacing 16d, 10d and 8d nails in framing applications. The SDWS Framing screw is 0.160" in diameter and superior to nails in holding power and pull-out resistance. It is code listed under IAPMO UES ER-192 and meets 2015 and 2018 IRC® and IBC® code requirements for several common wood framing applications.
The screw has a SawTooth™ point that makes for fast installations with reduced torque without predrilling, and its specially designed head countersinks easily to provide a clean, flush finish. The T25 bit holds the 6-lobe recess tightly, reducing cam-out and head stripping.
Key Features
- Large washer head with underhead box-nibs provides increased bearing in structural applications and provides clean and easy countersinking (0.44" head dia.)
- SawTooth point ensures fast starts, reduces installation torque and eliminates the need for predrilling in most applications
- The 6-lobe drive provides positive bit engagement resulting in easier installations and longer bit life
- Quik Guard® coating provides protection in indoor and outdoor applications
- US Patent 9,523,383
Applications
