The Simpson Strong-Tie PPHD3S1016 PPHD collated sheathing-to-CFS screw is built for high-volume fastening and consistent performance in sheathing-to-steel applications. Designed specifically for use with auto-feed systems, this screw delivers speed, strength, and precision for contractors working on walls, roofs, and subfloor systems with cold-formed steel framing.

Its low-profile pancake head provides smooth finishes and minimized pull-through, while the #2 drill point ensures fast starts without the need for predrilling. The collated design helps streamline installation, reducing downtime and increasing productivity on the jobsite.

Available in multiple lengths and finishes, these screws are ideal for fastening wood sheathing, gypsum panels, and fiber cement board to cold-formed steel studs or track.

Key Features:

• Collated for use with auto-feed screw driving systems
• Pancake-style head offers low-profile appearance and excellent pull-through resistance
• Self-drilling #2 point eliminates need for predrilling in most steel applications
• Optimized thread design reduces driving torque while ensuring strong holding power
• Tested and code-listed under ICC-ES ESR-3116 for sheathing-to-CFS applications

Applications:

• Wood structural panels to cold-formed steel framing
• Gypsum board to CFS wall systems
• Fiber cement panels to steel substructures
• Roof and floor sheathing installations
• Commercial and multifamily cold-formed steel construction

Installation Notes:

• Use with approved auto-feed screw guns for best performance
• Ensure alignment with CFS framing for optimal embedment
• No predrilling required for steel up to 12 gauge
• Drive screw flush with surface without overdriving
