Grip-rite GRSSFW38820 Structural Screws

Product Description

The GRIP-RITE GRSSFW38820 is a flat washer head structural screw designed for heavy-duty fastening applications in construction and trade work. These screws feature an integrated flat washer head profile that distributes load across a wider bearing surface, reducing pull-through in structural assemblies. Sold by the box, they are a standard fastener choice for framers, finish carpenters, and general contractors working on wood-to-wood or similar structural connections where code-compliant fastening is required.

The GRSSFW38820 is suited for residential and light commercial structural applications. Typical install scenarios include framing connections, ledger board attachment, deck construction, and structural panel fastening. The washer head design makes these screws especially useful where standard bugle-head screws may not provide adequate bearing surface for structural loads.

Key Features

• Flat washer head profile distributes load and reduces pull-through in structural panels and framing members
• Designed for structural fastening applications requiring high shear and withdrawal resistance
• Sold in box quantity for jobsite use
• Compatible with standard power driver bits for efficient installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style structural fastener for use in wood-frame construction assemblies where flat washer head screws are specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed contractors or experienced framers using a power drill or impact driver set to the appropriate clutch setting to avoid overdriving. Always follow local building codes and fastener schedules when using structural screws in load-bearing connections. Confirm fastener specifications meet the requirements of the applicable building code before installation in structural applications.
