The SDPW Deflector screw is designed to compensate for vertical deflection and has a polymer sleeve that acts as a friction barrier, preventing squeaks.
Steady performance without squeaking
In addition to helping reduce wall separation as a result of vertical deflection, the SDPW features a polymer sleeve that minimizes friction in wood frame members. As a result, the SDPW can prevent annoying squeaks from occurring during seasonal changes in temperature or humidity.
The SDPW Deflector screw has several features making it ideal for contractors in single-family residential or multifamily residential construction:
- Deep 6-lobe recess for secure driving
- Interior-grade E-coat for dry-service applications
- Offset driver bit drives screw to predetermined depth
Ready for residential and commercial projects
DIY and home design influencer Dena of Fletcher Creek Cottage and her husband are building a dream home on 65 acres of land near their hometown. Dena explains why Strong-Drive SDPW Deflector screws were a great solution for fastening non-load-bearing partition walls to trusses (22:45). Although the walls are more than 9 1/2′ tall, a simple drill-and-drive procedure made it easy and safe to complete the task even without the use of a stepladder.
Jamie Gray of BCM for Tradies Magazine reviewed the SDPW with Luke McGlynn of Simpson Strong-Tie Australia. In another hands-on example, this live demo shows how fast and easy it is for carpenters and builders to install the SDPW into non-load-bearing walls for trusses and joists, saving time and effort at the jobsite.
A complete wall-to-truss fastening solution
The Strong-Drive SDPW Deflector screw works in tandem with the Strong-Drive SDWC Truss screw to provide a total wall-to-truss fastening solution. The SDPW is designed for non-load-bearing walls, while the SDWC Truss screw is engineered for load-bearing walls. In addition to fastening trusses and rafters to top plates, the SDWC provides a stud-to-bottom-plate or stud-to-top-plate connection.
