Simpson Strong Tie SDWS22500DB-R50 Timber Screw 50pk

Product Description

The SIMPSON STRONG TIE SDWS22500DB-R50 is a Strong-Drive SDWS Timber Screw engineered for structural wood-to-wood connections in exterior applications. Measuring 0.220 inches in diameter and 5 inches in length, this screw features a T40 drive recess for high-torque installation with reduced cam-out. The exterior-grade coating provides corrosion resistance suited for treated lumber and outdoor framing environments. Each package contains 50 screws. Structural fasteners of this type are installed by framers, structural contractors, and licensed carpenters working on decks, timber frames, ledger boards, and similar load-bearing assemblies.

The SDWS22500DB-R50 Timber Screw is used in residential and light commercial structural framing where code-compliant wood fastening is required. Typical applications include post-and-beam connections, ledger-to-rim-board attachments, and general heavy timber construction. The exterior-grade finish makes it appropriate for exposed or partially exposed framing, pressure-treated lumber installations, and deck substructure work where moisture resistance is a priority.

Key Features

• 0.220-inch diameter by 5-inch length for deep structural wood penetration
• T40 drive recess reduces cam-out during high-torque installation
• Exterior-grade coating rated for use with pressure-treated lumber

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style structural fastener for exterior wood-to-wood connections using dimensional lumber and engineered wood products. Consult Simpson Strong-Tie load tables and applicable building code references for specific connection values and permitted applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified framing contractor or structural carpenter in accordance with applicable building codes, including IBC and IRC fastening schedules. A T40 bit and a high-torque impact driver or drill are required for proper installation. Pre-drilling may be necessary near lumber ends to prevent splitting, particularly in dense or dry timber. Follow Simpson Strong-Tie published installation instructions and engineering load tables for code-compliant connections.
