Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive PPHD Sheathing-to-CFS Screw (Model PPHD11516S0817) is engineered specifically to drive through sheathing materials and into cold-formed steel (CFS) with speed and precision. Featuring a long #5 drill point with extended flute and a buttressed thread design, this #8 x 1-15/16 in. flat-head screw delivers faster drilling performance through both sheathing and metal substrates. The 6-lobe T25 recess provides a more secure drive engagement, reducing cam-out and improving installation reliability. Arriving collated for seamless compatibility with Simpson Strong-Tie Quik Drive auto-feed screw driving systems, these screws are equally suited for hand-drive applications. This value pack includes 2,000 screws plus two T25 6-lobe driver bits, making it an ideal solution for residential, agricultural, and commercial steel-framing projects where shearwall and diaphragm performance is required.
