Fastener Types and Sizes Specified for Simpson Strong-Tie^® connectors

Many Simpson Strong-Tie connectors have been designed and tested for use with specific types and sizes of fasteners. The specified quantity, type and size of fastener must be installed in the correct holes on the connector to achieve published loads. Other factors such as fastener material and finish are also important. Incorrect fastener selection or installation can compromise connector performance and could lead to failure.

Simpson Strong-Tie does not offer all of these fasteners, see retail information for Simpson Strong-Tie nails.

Fasteners are drawn to scale. Nail diameter assumes no coating. See T-NAILGUIDE for more information.

The Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive® SD structural-connector screw is the only screw approved for use with our connectors.
