The Simpson Strong-Tie FPH Flat Pan-Head Screw (#10 x 3/4 in., T20, Clear Zinc) is engineered specifically for precision steel roll-forming technology - the dimpled steel stud fastening method used by manufacturers such as FRAMECAD, Howick, Arkitech, Pinnacle Structures, and Scottsdale Construction Systems. The FPH screw's sharp point and tight 18-TPI tapping thread design deliver instant starts and consistent holding power in light-gauge steel applications. The deeper, stronger flat pan head seats flush within dimpled steel studs, while the deep T20 6-lobe recess reduces driver bit wear and ensures more secure, strip-free driving. This bulk 5,000-count package includes one driver bit, making it ready for high-volume steel framing projects right out of the box.
