Product Description
The Simpson Deck-Drive DCU Composite Screw is engineered specifically for composite and PVC decking, delivering clean, professional fastening results with greater ease of installation and superb corrosion resistance. The red Quik Guard-coated cap head is color-matched to blend with popular decking manufacturers for a more concealed finish, making this collated screw the single go-to fastener for composite deck board applications - no need to mix and match screws across different decking materials.
Key Features
- Tri-lobe thread design - reduces damage to the composite board while driving, protecting the integrity of your decking surface during installation
- Inverted upper threads - clear excess material as the screw seats, ensuring consistent, flush results across every fastener you drive
- Type-17 point - penetrates composite decking with ease for faster starts, reducing installation time on large decking projects
- Cap head design - prevents mushrooming and material from rising above the deck surface, leaving a smooth, clean-looking finish
- Red color-matched head - blends with popular composite decking colors for a more concealed, polished appearance that enhances the final look of the deck
- Quik Guard coating - suitable for use in pressure-treated lumber and provides a level of corrosion resistance equivalent to hot-dip galvanization (ASTM A153, Class D) in some exposures, extending the long-term performance of each connection
- Trex-approved fastener - meets Trex composite decking requirements, giving installers and homeowners confidence in compliance and warranty protection
- T20 6-lobe drive with included driver bit - delivers positive bit engagement to reduce cam-out and keep installation efficient; a replacement bit (model BITTX20-PL-RC3) is available separately
- Curved collation format - compatible with the Quik Drive PRO300SG2 auto-feed screw driving system and attachment for high-volume, repetitive decking installations that demand speed and consistency
Why This Product
- One screw for all composite decking types - the Deck-Drive DCU eliminates the need to stock multiple screw types for different composite or PVC decking brands, simplifying your material list and reducing jobsite confusion
- Purpose-built design protects your investment - the combination of tri-lobe threads, inverted upper threads, and a cap head work together to prevent board damage, material rise, and inconsistent seating - common problems with general-purpose screws used on composite decks
- Corrosion resistance built for outdoor exposure - the Quik Guard coating delivers hot-dip galvanization-equivalent corrosion resistance (ASTM A153, Class D) in some exposures and is rated for use with pressure-treated lumber, making it well-suited for the demanding outdoor environment of a deck
- Auto-feed system compatible for faster production - the curved collation works directly with the Quik Drive PRO300SG2 auto-feed driving system, making this screw an efficient choice for contractors and builders working on high-volume composite decking installations
