Product Description
The Simpson Deck-Drive DCU Composite Screw, #10 x 2-3/4 in., Tan 02, Quik Guard Collated 1000-Pack is engineered by Simpson for composite or PVC decking applications, delivering clean, professional fastening results across all types of composite decking. With its curved collation format and compatibility with the Simpson Strong-Tie Quik Drive PRO300SG2 auto-feed screw driving system, this screw is built for efficient, consistent installation on deck board projects. Color-matching Tan 02 painted heads blend with popular decking products for a concealed, finished look that stands up over time.
Key Features
- Tri-lobe thread design - reduces damage to the composite board during driving, preserving board integrity and appearance
- Inverted upper threads - clear excess material as the screw seats, ensuring a consistent, flush finish every time
- Type-17 point - penetrates composite decking with ease for faster starts and less effort per fastener
- Cap head design - prevents mushrooming and material from rising above the deck surface, producing a smooth, clean-looking installation
- Trex-approved fastener - confirmed compatible with Trex composite decking, giving installers confidence and peace of mind on approved projects
- T20 6-lobe drive type with included driver bit - provides excellent bit engagement to reduce cam-out and keep installations moving efficiently
- Quik Guard coating - suitable for use with pressure-treated lumber and delivers corrosion resistance equivalent to hot-dip galvanization (ASTM A153, Class D) in some exposures, protecting against premature fastener failure
- Tan 02 color-matched head - blends with popular composite decking finishes for a more concealed, polished appearance on the finished deck surface
- Curved collation format - compatible with the Simpson Strong-Tie Quik Drive PRO300SG2 auto-feed screw driving system or attachment, enabling high-volume deck installations with less fatigue
Why This Product
- One screw for all composite decking types - the Deck-Drive DCU eliminates the need to mix and match fasteners across different composite or PVC decking brands, simplifying material planning and reducing jobsite confusion
- Engineered specifically for composite decking - the combination of the tri-lobe thread design, inverted upper threads, and cap head work together to protect composite boards from damage and deliver a clean, professional finish that exposed-head screws cannot match
- Corrosion resistance built for long-term outdoor performance - the Quik Guard coating provides corrosion resistance equivalent to hot-dip galvanization (ASTM A153, Class D) in some exposures, making these screws a reliable choice for decking exposed to the elements and pressure-treated lumber contact
- Designed for high-efficiency installation - curved collation and compatibility with the Quik Drive PRO300SG2 auto-feed driving system allow installers to drive screws quickly and consistently, reducing labor time on large deck board projects
