Description

The Simpson Strong-Tie XLQ114B1224-250 is part of the Strong-Drive XL family of structural fasteners, designed specifically for steel-to-steel connections in light-gauge metal framing. With a #14 diameter and 2.25-inch length, this self-piercing screw features a large pancake-style head for maximum bearing surface, ensuring tight connections and excellent pull-through resistance.

Engineered for performance in cold-formed steel construction, the XL screw cuts through 43 mil (18 ga.) steel and thinner without pre-drilling, increasing efficiency and reducing labor costs. Its Quik Guard coating offers strong corrosion resistance for interior and most exterior non-coastal applications.

  • #3 Phillips drive: Common and easy-to-use drive system for fast installation.
  • Quik Guard coating: Resists corrosion in standard environments.

    The Right Point for Every Project

    Different point types pierce various materials. Standard points handle light- to medium-gauge metal, long points tackle thicker steel, self-piercing points work well in wood or thin metal and winged points clear softer layers before drilling harder substrates, ensuring faster, cleaner and secure installations.
