The Strong-Drive SDWC structural wood screw provides a stud-to-bottom plate or stud-to-top plate connection as well as fastening trusses and rafters to top plates. The full-threaded shank engages the entire length of the fastener providing a secure connection. The SDWC is tested in accordance with ICC-ES AC233 and AC13 for uplift and lateral loads between wall plates and vertical wall framing and between the top plate and the roof rafters or trusses.
