Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Drive XM Medium-Head Metal Screw (#12 x 1-1/4 in., Model XMQ114S1224) is a collated fastener engineered for attaching steel decking to structural members in both wide and narrow valley, nestable, and interlocking steel decking applications. These screws are load tested and code listed, allowing you to achieve maximum load values during installation. Comparison testing demonstrates that Strong-Drive XM Medium-Head Metal screws outperform many alternative fastener types in 33 ksi and 50 ksi steel decking. Collated for compatibility with Quik Drive auto-feed screw driving systems, this 1,500-count pack is built to keep production moving on demanding cold-formed steel projects.
