The Simpson Strong-Tie F10T100PSB Self-Drilling Pancake Head Screw is designed for a smooth, flush finish in light-gauge steel applications. Its flat, oversized head sits neatly against the surface, making it ideal for use with structural connectors, metal framing, and exposed applications where appearance and performance matter. With a self-drilling point and sharp threads, this screw eliminates the need for pre-drilling and reduces installation time.

Engineered for secure attachment of Simpson Strong-Tie connectors to steel framing members, this fastener ensures consistent holding power while minimizing material displacement. Its low-profile head design provides maximum surface contact, making it a smart choice for applications where a traditional hex head would be too bulky.

Whether you're working in light commercial construction or residential framing, the pancake head screw offers the precision, reliability, and ease of installation professionals demand.

Key Features:

• Self-Drilling Tip: No pre-drilling required when fastening into 18–22 gauge steel.
• Low-Profile Pancake Head: Wide, flat head sits flush against metal surfaces for a clean finish.
• Optimized Thread Design: Delivers strong holding power while reducing driving torque.
• Carbon Steel Construction: Suitable for interior and dry applications where corrosion exposure is minimal.
• Precision Fit: Designed specifically for attaching Simpson Strong-Tie connectors to steel.

Applications:

• Attaching Simpson Strong-Tie connectors to light-gauge steel members
• Metal framing, curtain walls, and cold-formed steel construction
• Areas where a flush, low-profile screw head is preferred for aesthetics or clearance
• Interior commercial or residential framing projects

Installation:

• For use with 18–22 gauge steel
• Use a #2 Phillips driver bit for installation
• Drive screw until head seats flush with the material surface
• Do not overtighten to avoid thread stripping or surface damage
