The Simpson Multi-Material Pan Head Screw #6 x 1/2 in. T15 6-Lobe Clear Zinc 200-Pack is engineered specifically for fastening Simpson Strong-Tie connectors - such as the A35 framing angle - to wood and engineered wood. This compact, fully-threaded fastener starts fast and drives effortlessly, making it a reliable choice for connector installation work where consistent performance matters.

Key Features

• T-15 6-lobe recess for secure driving - Reduces cam-out and keeps the driver bit seated firmly, so each screw seats cleanly without slipping or stripping.
• Fully-threaded shank - Thread engagement runs the entire length of the fastener, maximizing holding strength through the connector and into the wood substrate.
• Type-17 point with serrated threads for fast starts - The self-starting point bites immediately and the serrated threads cut through wood fibers efficiently, reducing the effort and time needed to drive each screw.
• Locking under-head serrations - Grip the connector flange tightly once driven, resisting loosening under load and vibration for a more secure installation.
• Clear zinc coating applied in accordance with ASTM F1941 - A standardized coating process ensures a consistent, verified level of corrosion resistance on every screw in the pack.

Why This Product

• Purpose-built for Simpson Strong-Tie connector installation - Rather than a general-purpose fastener, this screw is designed around the specific demands of attaching Simpson Strong-Tie hardware to wood and engineered wood, so the geometry and thread profile work in direct support of that application.
• Faster installation with fewer frustrations - The combination of the Type-17 self-starting point, serrated threads, and T-15 6-lobe drive means screws start without pre-drilling and drive without the cam-out that wastes time on the job.
• Positive connector clamping on every drive - Locking under-head serrations pull the connector tight against the wood face and resist backing out, giving installers confidence that each connection stays secure after the driver moves on.
• Standardized corrosion protection for consistent quality - The ASTM F1941 clear zinc coating is applied to a defined standard, not an ad hoc finish, so every fastener in the 200-count pack delivers the same baseline protection.
