High-Performance Screw Alternative to Welds and Pins
Strong-Drive metal screws are load-tested and code-listed, allowing you to get the maximum load values for installation. Strong-Drive XL Large-Head Metal screws are the perfect choice when high shear or uplift resistance is required. Strong-Drive XM Medium-Head Metal screws, with their 1/2" washer head, are designed for narrow flutes commonly found on interlocking deck profiles. In high-strength decks (Fy= 50 ksi), these screws are excellent 1-for-1 replacements for pins. These screws can be used with Verco PunchLok II system or with ASC DeltaGrip system sidelap connections. The Strong-Drive Self-Drilling X Metal screw is your go-to screw for lighter-duty support fastening and stitching applications. These screws are available in bulk or collated for Quik Drive steel-decking systems.
Simpson Strong-Tie provides a full offering of code-listed fasteners for your next steel-decking job.
Comparison testing shows that Strong-Drive XL Large-Head Metal screws and Strong-Drive XM Medium-Head Metal screws are stronger than many alternative fastener types in 33 ksi and 50 ksi steel decking.
The Steel-Deck Diaphragm Calculator web app offers optimized steel deck design solutions based on fastener and labor costs for a given shear and uplift.
