Product Description
The Simpson Outdoor Accents Heavy-Duty Connector Screw is a 0.25 in. diameter high-strength structural wood screw built for connector installations, wood-to-wood applications, and engineered wood projects. Engineered by Simpson with a Type-17 point and a black double-barrier coating, this screw delivers clean, fast installation alongside a corrosion-resistant finish that holds up in outdoor conditions - making it a practical choice for structural work where appearance also matters.
Key Features
- Type-17 point - enables easy driving with no predrilling, saving time and reducing setup steps on the job or at home
- Black double-barrier coating - provides a premium black finish while offering a medium level of corrosion protection, keeping fasteners looking sharp and performing reliably in many outdoor applications
- 3/8 in. hex head with 0.5 in. integrated washer - delivers a secure, flush drive that distributes load evenly and reduces the chance of surface damage during installation
- Serrated threads - grip wood and engineered wood materials firmly, helping maintain connection integrity across a range of structural applications
- Compatible with Outdoor Accents decorative hardware (sold separately) - allows the screw head to complement visible connector hardware for a cohesive, finished appearance
- Includes 3/8 in. hex driver bit - everything needed to get started is in the pack, reducing the need for additional hardware
- Made of carbon steel - provides the structural strength expected of a heavy-duty connector fastener across DIY and professional applications
Why This Product
- No predrilling required - the Type-17 point cuts cleanly into wood and engineered wood without a pilot hole, making this screw faster to install and better suited for high-volume connector work or weekend DIY projects alike
- Built for outdoor use without sacrificing aesthetics - the black double-barrier coating is not just a protective finish; it is designed to pair visually with Outdoor Accents decorative hardware, so structural connections look intentional rather than industrial
- Hex drive with integrated washer means fewer stripped fasteners - the 3/8 in. hex head provides more torque contact than a standard Phillips or square drive, while the 0.5 in. washer keeps the head from sinking unevenly into the material
- Extensively tested across multiple application types - this screw has been tested for use in connector installations, wood-to-wood, and engineered wood applications, giving buyers confidence that it will perform in real-world structural conditions
