PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

300 Series Heavy Gauge Stainless Steel Hidden Deck Fastener with black oxide coating.

PRODUCT REQUIREMENTS

When using Tiger Claw fasteners please review and comply with these requirements to obtain proper installation. Failure to follow these requirements may result in deck failure and/or void of warranty.

Inspect decking material prior to installation. Omit any planks that contain hooks, twists, splits, cracks, or other defects. Always install decking with the crown upward.

When using:

Recommended for use in 5/4" or thicker decking. If using pre-grooved decking be sure that the groove is the correct dimension and location on the board so that it is compatible with the TC-G fastener. (see groove specs) A router or biscuit joiner can be used to create grooves in solid edge decking.

RECOMMENDED MATERIALS

Use with decking no less than 7/8” in thickness. (not recommended with decking prone to high shrinkage like Pressure Treated Pine.)

APPEARANCE

Semi gloss black finish, rectangular body with a screw hole in the bend of the bottom flange. Two large off set opposing tabs on top, one tab with small points and the other with a rolled edge, one spacer tab on side of fastener body.

DIMENSIONS

.512” h x 1.075” w x 085” d

WORKABILITY

All work can be done quickly and easily from above using basic tools (screw gun).

GAPPING

TC-G will automatically create a 3/16” space between each board.

EXPANSION/CONTRACTION

Fasteners are designed to allow decking to expand and contract naturally by sliding on the fastener tab and still maintain hold down strength. TC-G is designed to maintain consistent spacing as deck boards expand and contract. From the point of installation, the TC-G can handle board expansion up to 1/8” and contraction up to 3/16”.
