The Simpson Strong-Tie® Strong-Drive® SDPW Deflector Screw (0.140" x 3-1/2") is the ideal fastening solution for attaching non-load-bearing walls to trusses and joists. Engineered with tested lateral-load ratings that meet building code requirements, this screw provides strength, reliability, and peace of mind in interior framing applications.

The SDPW screw features a polymer sleeve that permits natural deflection between walls and framing members, without the squeaks that often happen when wood shifts. Its deep 6-lobe recess ensures a solid drive, while the included offset driver bit sets each screw to the correct depth for consistent installation.

With a corrosion-resistant E-coat finish for interior use, the SDPW Deflector Screw is a smart, code-compliant choice for quiet, secure wall-to-truss connections.
