The Simpson Strong-Tie PPHDQ134S1016 Strong-Drive PPHD Sheathing-to-CFS Screw is purpose-built for attaching wood structural panels, gypsum board, and fiber cement sheathing to cold-formed steel (CFS) framing. Engineered for speed and holding power, this screw features a drill point that penetrates steel up to 0.097" thick without predrilling. It’s an ideal fastening solution for repetitive sheathing tasks in mid-rise construction, commercial framing, and prefabrication environments.

The PPHD screw is collated for use in the Simpson Quik Drive auto-feed system or can be purchased in bulk for single-screw applications. Whether you're fastening OSB, plywood, or gypsum to steel, these screws deliver consistent drive performance, reduced cam-out, and higher holding strength with fewer fasteners.

Key Features:

• Designed for fast, secure sheathing attachment to cold-formed steel up to 0.097"
• Drill point eliminates the need for predrilling in steel applications
• Available collated for Quik Drive or in bulk for hand driving
• Patented curved collation strips minimize jamming and improve feed reliability
• Reduced head diameter allows easier countersinking in sheathing materials
• Multiple lengths and finishes for various materials and environments

Applications:

• Wood structural panels to steel framing
• Gypsum sheathing to CFS
• Fiber cement board attachment
• Mid-rise and commercial construction
• Prefabricated panel assembly lines

Installation Notes:

• Compatible with Simpson Quik Drive auto-feed tools (collated versions)
• Use with a variable-speed screw gun or impact driver for optimal performance
• Drive until head is flush with sheathing; avoid overdriving
• Follow local codes and Simpson Strong-Tie recommendations for fastener spacing
