SDWS22 Timber Screw

Product Tabs

Product Details

The Strong‑Drive® SDWS is the 2nd generation structural screw, redesigned with a patented SawTooth™ Point. It delivers faster starts, less torque, and eliminates the need for pre-drilling, which means more screws installed and less labour for you compared to conventional installation. All this reduces tool wear and extends your battery life!

The SDWS is the advanced alternative to bolting timber, or batten and coach screws, being 30% faster and 10% stronger than an equivalent batten screw. Designed to be versatile the SDWS is recognised as a solution for timber connections and is backed by testing and load data.

Material

Carbon Steel

Finish

Double Barrier Coating — Suitable for interior, treated timber and external applications

Features & Benefits
  • 6-lobe T-40 drive eliminates cam outs, for easier installations and longer bit life — bit(s) included
  • Head stamped for easy identification of length and diameter, for building certification
  • Large Washer Head provides superior clamping, while nibs offer greater control for the installer when seating the head
  • Bold Threads design provides superior holding power, even into the end grain of timber
  • Patented SawTooth™ Point for faster starts, less torque and no pre-drilling
Applications
  • Outdoor Structures
  • Deck Frames and Ledgers
  • Landscaping
  • Structural Timber Framing — It replaces strapping, which means, no interference with wall cladding
  • Lintel Screw, Coach Screw, Lag Screw, Landscape Screw, Structural Screw, Ledger Screw, Retaining Wall Screw, Boundary Joist Screw, Deck Post Screw

  1. For the purpose of measuring overall length, fasteners shall be measured from the underside of the head to bottom of the point.
  2. Length of thread includes the point.
  3. Bending yield strength determined following ASTM F1575 and based on minor thread diameter.
  4. Characteristic yield moment determined following EU14358 and based on minor thread diameter.
  5. Tension and shear properties are based on 0.5 of the average maximum load for screws tested in tension and shear, respectively. Shear strength is shear through the threads.

  1. Conditions without numbers in the matrix shall not be used.
  2. The main and side members shall have a minimum density of 530 kg/m3
    for JD4, or 450 kg/m3 for JD5.
  3. The tabulated characteristic shear loads and withdrawal are for normal duration of load.
  4. Screws shall be installed straight into the side grain of the wood main member with the screw axis at a 90-degree angle to the wood fibres.
  5. Minimum fastener penetration shall be equal to the screw length less the thickness of the wood side member.
  6. Tabulated characteristic values for withdrawal are in N/mm
    of thread length into the main member
  7. Withdrawal to end grain values are based on the lesser value of withdrawal from the main member or the characteristic pull-through of the screw through a 35 mm thick side member of the same Joint Group, or tensile strength of the screw.

These fasteners possess a level of corrosion resistance that makes them suitable for use in some exterior and corrosive environments and with some preservative-treated timber.
For applications in higher-exposure applications, consider Type-300 series stainless-steel fasteners for superior corrosion resistance. Bit(s) included with every box of screws.
Pre-drilling and countersink may be necessary at ends, butt joints, and on applications where denser material is used. Follow board manufacturers recommendations where applicable.
