Simpson Strong Tie SDWC15600-KT Truss Screw 6 in 50 Pack

Product Description

The SIMPSON STRONG TIE SDWC15600-KT is a structural truss screw from the Strong Drive SDWC product line, engineered for high-load framing connections. Each screw measures 6 inches in length with a 0.152 inch shank diameter, delivering substantial holding power in wood-to-wood structural assemblies. A clear zinc coating protects against corrosion and weathering, extending service life in exposed or treated-lumber applications. The orange-colored head provides quick visual confirmation of fastener placement during inspection. This kit contains 50 screws, making it well suited for single-truss installations or repair work where a full bulk box is not required.

The SDWC15600-KT is used in light-frame residential and commercial construction, primarily for fastening roof trusses to top plates, connecting structural beams, and securing other load-bearing framing members. The screw is appropriate for use in both new construction and retrofit framing work. Contractors, framers, and structural carpenters reach for this fastener when code-compliant, high-withdrawal-strength connections are required without the need for metal connector plates or joist hanger hardware.

Key Features

• 6 inch length with 0.152 inch shank diameter for deep structural penetration
• Clear zinc coating resists corrosion and weathering, including contact with treated lumber
• Orange head color allows fast visual inspection and verification of fastener installation
• Strong Drive SDWC geometry optimized for truss and beam framing connections
• 50-screw kit format reduces waste on smaller jobs and service calls

Compatibility

Designed as a structural truss screw for wood-frame construction applications involving trusses, beams, and other dimensional lumber assemblies where high withdrawal and shear resistance are required.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed framers or structural carpenters using a standard hex-drive or impact driver bit matched to the screw drive type. Consult applicable building codes, including the International Building Code, for minimum fastener schedules and required connection values before installation. Ensure framing members are properly aligned and braced before driving fasteners into structural connections. Never substitute this screw for connector hardware in applications where engineered load tables specify a different fastener type or quantity.
