Truss Plate Screws

Truss Plate Screws - Code-Compliant Structural Wood Screws

Truss plate screws are engineered to secure metal truss plates to wood members in roof and floor systems where structural integrity is non-negotiable. Designed for engineered lumber assemblies, these screws deliver consistent clamping force and long-term holding power that outperforms traditional nails in critical load-bearing applications.

Stronger Connections for Engineered Truss Systems

Unlike smooth-shank nails, truss plate screws feature precision-cut threads that increase withdrawal resistance and reduce the risk of loosening over time. Their self-tapping design allows for efficient installation in most framing lumber without pre-drilling, helping crews move quickly while maintaining structural performance.

Many options are tested and approved to meet ICC and industry code requirements when used according to manufacturer specifications, making them a reliable choice for inspected structural builds.

Common Applications

• Residential and commercial roof truss assemblies
• Floor truss systems in multi-story construction
• Engineered wood framing connections
• Reinforcement or repair of existing truss plate installations

Key Considerations

• Code Compliance: Always verify the screw is approved for use with your specific truss plate system.
• Load Requirements: Review manufacturer load tables to confirm shear and withdrawal values meet project specs.
• Corrosion Resistance: Select appropriate coatings for interior, exterior, or treated lumber environments.
• Installation Method: Use recommended drivers and follow spacing guidelines for optimal structural performance.
