1 DESIGNED FOR FASTENER TYPES Fastener Types and s Specified for Simpson Strong-Tie Connectors Many Simpson Strong-Tie connectors have been designed and tested for use with specific types and sizes of fasteners. The specified quantity, type and size of fastener must be installed in the correct holes on the connector to achieve published loads. Other factors such as fastener material and finish are also important. Incorrect fastener selection or installation can compromise connector performance and could lead to failure. Simpson Strong-Tie does not offer all of these fasteners, see page 2 for more information.

5 SDS & SD Wood Screws The Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive screw (SDS) is a 4" diameter structural wood screw ideal for various connector installations as well as wood-to-wood applications. It installs with no predrilling and has been extensively tested in various applications. The new SDS is improved with a patented easy driving 4CUT tip and a corrosion resistant double-barrier coating. The SD8 #8x 4" wafer head screw is ideal for miscellaneous fastening applications. The needle point ensures fast starts and deep #2 Phillips drive reduces cam-out and stripping. SDS FEATURES: reduce installation torque and make driving easier with no predrilling and minimal wood splitting. equivalent to hot-dip galvanization. Now one screw can handle interior, exterior and certain pressure-treated wood applications (see Corrosion Information on page 4-5 for more information). 8" hex washer head is stamped with the No-Equal sign and fastener length for easy identification after installation. MATERIAL: Heat-treated carbon steel, Type-6 stainless steel FINISH: SDS Double-barrier coating. SDS screws may also be available yellow zinc dichromate or (Not all sizes are available in all coatings Contact Simpson Strong-Tie for product availability and ordering information); SD8x.25 Electro Galvanized.

6 DESIGNED FOR SD Structural-Connector Screw Ideally suited for use with many Simpson Strong-Tie connectors Simpson Strong-Tie offers the Strong-Drive SD structural-connector screw for use with our connectors. Designed to replace nails in certain products, the load-rated SD screw has been tested and approved for use in many popular Simpson Strong-Tie connectors. In certain applications screws are easier and more convenient to install than nails, and the single-fastener load values achieved by the SD9 and SD0 exceed those of typical 0d common or 6d common nails, respectively. In addition, the galvanized coating makes the SD screw ideal for interior and most exterior conditions. The SD structural-connector screw features an optimized shank which is specifically designed to be compatible with the fastener holes in Simpson Strong-Tie connectors. The hex head virtually eliminates cam-out and helps avoid stripping of the head during installation. The sharp point of the screw enables fast starts, and the patented serrated threads reduce torque for improved drivability. FEATURES: connectors for both interior and most exterior applications SD9 exceeds the capacity of a 0d common nail, while the single-fastener load capacity of the SD0 exceeds that of the 6d common nail is inconvenient is recommended for use with certain preservative-treated woods and is compliant with the 2006 International Residential Code (R9.) and the 2009 International Residential Code (R7.) 4" hex drive MATERIAL: Heat-treated carbon steel FINISH: Mechanically galvanized (ASTM Class 55) CODES: See page for Code Reference Key Chart.
