SDWH Timber-Hex HDG screw

New Strong-Drive® SDWH TIMBER-HEX HDG Screw

Simpson Strong-Tie has launched the Strong-Drive® SDWH Timber-Hex HDG screw. The fastener requires no pre-drilling and replaces bolt, washer and nut assemblies, saving installers time and cost. It is specifically designed to resist severe corrosion levels in heavy-duty marine and coastal applications, such as piers, boardwalks, structural pilings and docks.

The .276" diameter hot-dip galvanized screw features a SawTooth™ point and oversized integral washer, which eliminate the need for pre-drilling and a separate washer.

The SDWH Timber-Hex HDG screw is available in five lengths, ranging from 4" to 12" and features a 3/8" hex-drive head for secure driving. To learn more, click here.
