The load‑rated Strong‑Drive® SD Connector SS screw (SD SS) is a Type 316 stainless steel fastener designed, tested and approved for use with certain Simpson Strong‑Tie® stainless steel connectors. Type 316 stainless steel provides excellent protection in severe corrosion environments.

The SD SS screws have a 1/4" (6.35mm) hex head with a large integrated washer, and are stamped with the Simpson Strong‑Tie “≠” logo and fastener size for easy identification after installation.

  1. Fastener length is measured from the underside of the head to the point.
  2. Thread length includes the point.
  3. Bending yield strength testing followed ASTM A F1575 and is based on minor thread diameter.
  4. Characteristic bending yield strength determined following EN14358.
  5. Tension and shear properties are based on 0.5 of the average load for screws tested in tension and shear, respectively. Shear strength is shear through the threads.
