Simpson Strong-Tie SD10212R100 10 x 2-1/2″ Structural Screw 100ct

Description

Product Overview

The Simpson Strong‑Tie SD10212R100 is a precision‑engineered structural screw designed for demanding construction applications. Measuring 10 × 2‑1/2″, the screw combines a robust carbon‑steel body with a hex head that delivers excellent torque transfer and reduces cam‑out during installation. Its partially threaded shank is optimized to match the fastener holes in Simpson Strong‑Tie connectors, ensuring a secure, load‑bearing connection. The screw is mechanically‑galvanized to ASTM B695 class 55 standards, providing a durable protective coating that resists corrosion in harsh environments, from coastal projects to indoor structural assemblies. With a total of 100 pieces per package, this product offers both quantity and consistency, making it a cost‑effective solution for large‑scale framing, decking, and shear wall installations. The design adheres to ICC‑ES ESR‑3096 specifications, guaranteeing compatibility with a wide range of Simpson connector systems and compliance with industry‑accepted performance criteria.

Usage

These structural screws are ideal for professional contractors, engineers, and skilled DIY enthusiasts who require reliable fasteners for structural framing, joist hangers, beam connections, and shear wall assemblies. The 10 × 2‑1/2″ length provides sufficient embedment depth for typical 2‑by‑4 and 2‑by‑6 lumber, while the hex head design works seamlessly with standard impact drivers and torque wrenches. Because the screw is partially threaded, it offers a balance between pull‑out resistance and ease of driving, making it suitable for both heavy‑duty commercial construction and residential renovation projects. The galvanized finish protects against rust in outdoor decks, parking structures, and industrial facilities where exposure to moisture and chemicals is common. Additionally, the screw’s UNC thread profile aligns with the majority of Simpson connector pre‑drilled holes, eliminating the need for additional drilling or re‑tapping, which speeds up installation and reduces labor costs.
