Simpson Strong-Tie DSC5L-SDS3 DSC 21 in. Drag-Strut Connector with Strong-Drive® SDS Screws, Skewed Left

The DSC drag-strut connector transfers diaphragm shear forces from a girder truss or beam to shearwalls. The DSC5 has been designed to optimize fastener location. The DSC2 is a smaller, lighter version that installs with fewer fasteners.

This Simpson product is designed for construction, connector, fastening, anchoring, and structural applications where dependable performance, durability, and jobsite-ready installation matter.
