Product Description
The Simpson #10 x 1-1/2 in. Black Connector Screw with Hex Drive Double Barrier Coating is a structural fastener from Simpson engineered specifically for use with Outdoor Accents Essentials decorative connectors, including the APA21 90 deg. angle, APLH light joist hangers, and APGT gazebo ties. The sharp point enables fast starts and allows the screw to drive easily without predrilling, cutting down installation time on decks, pergolas, gazebos, and other outdoor living projects. A black double-barrier coating delivers a clean, finished appearance that complements decorative connector hardware while providing a medium level of corrosion protection suited to many outdoor applications.
Key Features
- Sharp point enables no-predrill installation - gets the screw started quickly and eliminates extra prep steps, saving time on every connection.
- 1/4 in. hex head design - reduces cam-out and helps prevent stripping during installation, giving you cleaner, more reliable drives on every fastener.
- 1/4 in. hex drive included - everything needed to start installing is in the package, with no additional tooling to source separately.
- Optimized heat treating for ductility and strength - the screw is built to handle structural connector loads, not just basic fastening tasks.
- Single-fastener allowable load exceeds the shear load of a 0.162 in. x 3-1/2 in. nail - delivers superior structural performance compared to a standard nail in steel-side-plate applications.
- Black double-barrier coating - provides a premium aesthetic that visually ties the screw head to Outdoor Accents decorative hardware while offering corrosion resistance for outdoor use.
- Designed specifically for Outdoor Accents Essentials connectors - ensures a coordinated, professional appearance across the entire connector assembly on any outdoor structure.
Why This Product
- Built for decorative connector applications - unlike generic screws, this fastener is purpose-designed to pair with Outdoor Accents hardware, so the head color and profile blend seamlessly into the finished look of your outdoor structure.
- Stronger than a nail at the connection point - the SD10's single-fastener steel-side-plate allowable load surpasses the shear load of a 0.162 in. x 3-1/2 in. nail, making it a structurally sound choice for connector fastening, not just an aesthetic one.
- No predrilling required - the sharp point drives directly into the material, reducing setup time and the number of tools needed on the job, whether you are a contractor or a DIY builder.
- Hex drive reduces installation errors - the 1/4 in. hex head minimizes cam-out and head stripping, helping you drive each screw cleanly and consistently without damaging the fastener or the connector.
