DECK SCREWS

APPLICATION
Color matched deck screw available in a variety of colors to match all of the leading composite/PVC deck boards
and cladding on the market.

FEATURES

• Extra deep star drive recess to prevent cam-out
• Undercut head to cut cleanly through the hard outer layer of capstock decking
• Reverse threads to prevent mushrooming and surface defects
• Tri-lobular shanks and thread to reduce driving torque
• Type 17 auger tip for faster, easier insertion and to help prevent splitting
• Available in a variety of colors

INSTALLATION

• Install flush with decking surface. Do not overdrive.
• Install two screws per joist.
• Predrilling is recommended when fastening within 1 from the end of a deck board.
• Recommended: For a clean and professional finish use the SMART-BIT® Depth Setter Tool in combination with screws.

APPLICATION
Color matched fastening system for composite/PVC deck fascia and cladding.
The system securely fastens fascia material while also allowing boards to expand and contract freely. Installation is a two-step process utilizing a pre-drilling tool and screws.

FEATURES

• Designed for use with ½” to ¾” composite fascia profiles
• Fascia Tool creates an over-sized hole so that the board can expand and contract freely and provides a pre-set countersink that matches the head diameter and depth of the Fascia Screw
• Free spinning collar on Fascia Tool prevents damage to the fascia board surface
• Type 17 auger tips for faster, easier insertion and to help prevent splitting
• Available in a variety of colors

INSTALLATION
Follow all fascia manufacturer instructions, including specifications for screw spacing, edge/ end distances, and gapping.

• Pre-drill with the Fascia Tool until the collar stops spinning.
• Drive the Fascia Screw until snug, do not overtighten. The material should hang from the screw to allow for expansion and contraction.

APPLICATION

• Trim Head — For hardwood, cedar, redwood, composite/PVC, pressure treated decking (finish applications) and PVC trim.

FEATURES

• Grade 305 stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance
• Reinforced trim head with nibs for better countersinking
• Extra deep star drive recesses to prevent cam-out
• Type 17 auger tip for faster, easier insertion and to help prevent splitting
• Approved for use in ACQ and other pressure treated lumber
• Available in a variety of colors

INSTALLATION

• Predrilling required for hardwoods and in all cases when fastening within 1½″ from the end of a deck board.
• Slightly countersink screw head. Do not overdrive.
• Recommended: For a clean and professional finish use SMART-BIT®
  Predrilling and Countersinking Tools in combination with screws.
