Simpson Strong Tie SDWS25200DBBRC12 Structural Wood Screw

Product Description

The SIMPSON STRONG TIE SDWS25200DBBRC12 is a structural wood screw engineered for load-bearing connections in outdoor and exposed wood applications. Measuring 0.250 inches in diameter and 2 inches in length, this fastener is designed to secure wood-to-wood assemblies where pull-out resistance and shear strength are required. The black DB coating provides a corrosion-resistant finish suited for exterior environments including decks, pergolas, and outdoor structures. Each pack contains 12 screws. Installation is handled by carpenters, deck contractors, and general contractors working on residential and light commercial wood framing or finish carpentry.

This screw is sized for applications where a standard nail or common wood screw lacks the structural capacity required by code or engineering specifications. Typical uses include deck framing connections, ledger board attachments, outdoor furniture assembly, and other exposed wood structures subject to weathering and mechanical load. The 0.250-inch shank diameter and 2-inch length target medium-depth fastening tasks where over-penetration must be avoided and a clean, finished appearance is preferred alongside structural performance.

Key Features

• 0.250-inch diameter shank for structural-grade pull-out and shear resistance
• 2-inch length suited for medium-depth wood-to-wood connections
• Black DB coating for corrosion resistance in outdoor and exposed environments
• 12 screws per pack for small-batch or repair use
• Engineered for decking, outdoor furniture, and exposed structural wood assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style structural wood fastener for use in outdoor decking, pergola framing, and general exposed wood construction where a 0.250-inch diameter by 2-inch structural screw is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed carpenters or deck contractors using a compatible hex or torx bit driver rated for structural fasteners. Pre-drilling a pilot hole is recommended when fastening near board ends to prevent splitting. Follow applicable building codes, including IRC or IBC fastener schedules, for structural deck and framing connections. Do not overdrive the screw head, as countersinking beyond the wood surface can reduce load capacity at the connection point.
