Truss and Rafter Tiedowns

The WSTS Truss Structural Wood Screw can be used to resist uplift and lateral loads for truss/rafter-to-plate and stud-to-plate connections. The WSTS is tested in accordance with ICC-ES AC233 and AC13 and meets 2021 IRC and IBC code requirements.

Features & Benefits:
• Reverse thread angle on opposite ends of screw creates increased withdrawal where it’s needed for higher capacity and greater uplift resistance
• The shank is fully threaded along its length for installation flexibility
• Head design countersinks out of the way of finishing materials like drywall and trim
• Type-17 point engages the wood quickly for easier starting and driving the screw
• Included installation angle tool makes proper installations easier
• WSTS can be installed on the inside eliminating difficult installations on the outside of wall
• Included driver bit with installation guide holds screw firmly so screw may be installed with one hand
