Simpson Strong-Tie, the leader in engineered structural connectors and building solutions, has introduced the Strong-Drive^® SDPW Deflector screw line of fasteners designed to connect non-load-bearing, full-height partition wall top plates to trusses or joists while allowing for vertical movement without associated connector squeaks.

Featuring an innovative polymer sleeve, the SDPW creates a strong connection that provides both lateral resistance and the ability for walls to deflect with the truss or joist. Atmospheric and loading conditions can put a variety of forces on a structure, and the SDPW permits vertical movement on the wall while preventing squeaks that are commonly associated with alternative hardware solutions.
