This carbon steel truss screw from Simpson Strong-Tie can be used for stud-to-bottom plate or stud-to-top plate connections. It also provides a method for fastening trusses and rafters to top plates. The Strong-Drive SDWC’s fully threaded shank goes the length of the fastener to ensure a secure connection, and the screw 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 roof rafters or trusses.
