Grip-rite GRSSHW381050 Hex Washer Head Structural Screws

Product Description

The GRIP-RITE GRSSHW381050 is a hex washer head structural screw designed for heavy-duty fastening applications in wood framing, decking, and structural assemblies. Part of the PrimeGuard Plus line, these screws deliver corrosion resistance suitable for treated lumber and exterior structural connections. The hex washer head style allows for consistent torque application with a standard hex driver bit. This fastener is typically installed by framing carpenters, structural contractors, and general construction trades working on residential and light commercial projects. Sold in a box of 1050 units at a package weight of 6.309 pounds.

These structural screws are suited for wood-to-wood connections in load-bearing framing, ledger board attachments, and other structural applications where a driven fastener is specified. The PrimeGuard Plus coating provides protection against corrosion when used with pressure-treated lumber, making them appropriate for both interior framing and exterior structural assemblies. The hex washer head design bears against the fastened material, distributing load and reducing pull-through risk in structural connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified carpenters or structural contractors following applicable building codes and engineered fastener schedules. Use a calibrated hex driver bit matched to the fastener head to avoid cam-out and ensure proper seating. Verify fastener spacing and penetration depth against project drawings or the applicable IRC or IBC fastener schedule before driving. Do not overdrive screws, as this can reduce the bearing area of the washer head and compromise load capacity.
