Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Drive PPHD Sheathing-to-CFS Screw - #10 x 1-3/4 in., T25 6-Lobe, Quik Guard Coating (4,000-Quantity) is a precision-engineered fastener built to deliver strength and superior performance in steel and cold-formed steel (CFS) applications. Designed specifically to drive through sheathing materials and into cold-formed steel framing, this screw features a long #5 pilot point with an extended flute and a buttressed fine-thread design that ensures reliable engagement and holding power. The 6-lobe T25 recess provides a more secure, cam-out-resistant drive compared to conventional drive profiles, reducing installer fatigue and improving consistency across large-scale installations. Protected by a Quik Guard coating, these screws are suited for dry service, low-corrosion environments and select fire-rated sheathing assemblies. This bulk 4,000-piece package is ideal for residential, agricultural, and commercial framing projects where high-volume fastening efficiency and code compliance are essential.
Key Features
- Larger #5 Pilot Point with Longer Flute - Enables fast, clean penetration through sheathing and into cold-formed steel without pre-drilling.
- Fine Threads (16 TPI) - Buttressed fine-thread design maximizes pull-out resistance and thread engagement in CFS substrates.
- T25 6-Lobe Recess Drive - Provides a more secure, torque-efficient drive with reduced cam-out risk compared to standard drive types.
- Quik Guard Coating - Protective finish designed for dry service and low-corrosion environments, including some fire-rated sheathing assemblies.
- Code-Compliant for Shearwalls & Diaphragms - PPHD screws may be used as prescribed by the codes for shearwalls and diaphragms as described in AISI S240 and AISI S400.
- Flat Head Profile - Low-profile flat head seats flush with sheathing surfaces for a clean, professional finish.
- High-Volume 4,000-Piece Bulk Pack - Maximizes productivity on large residential, agricultural, and commercial framing projects.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the maximum steel thickness this screw can fasten through?
- The Simpson Strong-Drive PPHD Sheathing-to-CFS Screw is rated for a maximum thickness of two layers of 12 gauge steel, totaling 0.218 inches combined. It is designed specifically to drive through sheathing materials and into cold-formed steel (CFS) framing using its long #5 pilot point and extended flute.
- Are these screws code-compliant for shearwall and diaphragm applications?
- Yes. PPHD screws may be used as prescribed by the codes for shearwalls and diaphragms as described in AISI S240 and AISI S400, making them suitable for residential, agricultural, and commercial projects where code compliance is required.
- What drive tool is required, and why is the T25 6-lobe recess beneficial?
- These screws require a T25 6-lobe (Torx-style) driver bit. The 6-lobe recess provides a more secure, torque-efficient drive with reduced cam-out risk compared to standard drive profiles, improving consistency and reducing installer fatigue during high-volume installations. The screws also come collated for use with Quik Drive auto-feed screw driving systems.
- What environments are these screws designed for?
- These screws are designed for use in dry service, low-corrosion environments and select fire-rated sheathing assemblies. The Quik Guard coating provides a protective finish suited to these conditions. They are not intended for high-moisture or highly corrosive environments.
