Grip-rite GRSSHW516450 Hex Washer Head Structural Screws

Product Description

The GRIP-RITE GRSSHW516450 is a hex washer head structural screw from the PrimeGuard Plus line, designed for heavy-duty fastening applications in wood framing, metal connectors, and structural assemblies. The hex washer head provides a broad bearing surface and is driven with a standard hex bit or socket, making installation fast and secure. These screws are built to meet structural load requirements and are commonly installed by framing carpenters, general contractors, and structural trades working on residential and light commercial projects. The package weighs 2.356 pounds.

These structural screws are suited for wood-to-wood and wood-to-metal fastening in load-bearing applications. Typical uses include connecting ledger boards, rim joists, stair stringers, and structural framing members where code-compliant fastening is required. The PrimeGuard Plus coating provides corrosion resistance for use in treated lumber and exterior applications. Installation is straightforward with standard hex drive tooling, reducing the need for pre-drilling in many applications.
