Grip-rite GRSSHW14450 Hex Washer Head Structural Screws

Product Description

The GRIP-RITE GRSSHW14450 is a hex washer head structural screw designed for heavy-duty fastening applications in wood-frame construction and structural assemblies. These screws feature a hex washer head configuration that allows for high-torque installation with a standard hex driver or impact wrench, reducing cam-out and improving drive consistency. Part of the PrimeGuard Plus line, these fasteners are built to meet structural connection requirements where code-compliant performance is essential. Licensed contractors, framers, and structural technicians rely on this type of fastener for applications that demand consistent clamping force and corrosion-resistant performance.

These structural screws are suited for residential and light commercial wood-frame construction, including ledger connections, beam-to-post assemblies, and structural panel fastening. The hex washer head bearing surface distributes load across a wider area compared to a standard flat head, making these screws appropriate for applications where pull-through resistance is a factor. This product ships in box quantity with a minimum order of one box.

Key Features

• Hex washer head design for high-torque installation with hex drivers or impact tools
• Wide bearing surface reduces pull-through in structural wood connections
• PrimeGuard Plus coating provides corrosion resistance for treated lumber compatibility
• Sold by the box for jobsite-quantity convenience

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style structural fastener for use in wood-frame construction assemblies where hex washer head screws are specified by the engineer of record or local building code.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified framers or contractors following applicable building codes, including IRC and IBC structural fastening requirements. Use a calibrated hex driver bit or impact wrench sized to match the hex head to prevent stripping. Always verify that the screw length and spacing meet the engineered connection schedule before driving. Do not overdrive screws in engineered lumber or composite structural panels, as this can reduce pull-through resistance.
