Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive PPHD Sheathing-to-CFS Screw (#10 x 3 in., Model PPHD3S1016) is engineered to drive through sheathing materials and directly into cold-formed steel (CFS) framing using its long #5 drill point. Designed for residential, agricultural, and commercial construction, this collated screw delivers strength and superior performance in steel and metal applications. The collated format makes it fully compatible with the Quik Drive PRO300SG2 auto-feed screw driving system, dramatically speeding up installation without sacrificing precision. Its fine threads, larger #5 pilot point with longer flute, and 6-lobe T25 recess combine for a secure, reliable fastening connection in shear wall and diaphragm assemblies. Each 1,000-piece pack includes two T25 6-lobe driver bits. Yellow-zinc coating ensures performance in dry service and low-corrosion environments.
