The Simpson Deck-Drive DSV Wood Screw (Collated) #10 x 2 in. T25 6-Lobe Tan is engineered by Simpson for preservative-treated decking applications where consistent, professional results matter. The rimmed flat head with under-head nibs countersinks cleanly into wood deck boards, while the high-low threaded point delivers fast starts and reduced driving effort. The variable thread design accommodates the natural swelling and shrinkage of fast-growth dimensional lumber, and the Quik Guard coating provides corrosion resistance suited to exterior and certain preservative-treated wood environments. Curved collation strips make this pack a direct match for Simpson Quik Drive auto-feed screw driving systems, supporting efficient, high-volume deck installation.

Key Features

• Rimmed flat head with nibs - countersinks smoothly into wood deck boards for a clean, finished surface appearance without pre-drilling
• High-low threaded point - provides fast starts and reduces the effort required to drive each fastener, keeping installation moving efficiently
• Variable thread design - engineered to handle the swelling and shrinkage common in fast-growth lumber, helping maintain a secure hold over time
• Low-torque threads - minimize driving resistance so installers experience less fatigue during high-volume decking work
• Quik Guard coating - delivers corrosion resistance for exterior and certain preservative-treated wood applications, and meets AC257 exposure conditions 1 and 3 performance requirements
• T25 6-lobe drive - provides a secure bit engagement that reduces cam-out and keeps drives consistent across a full day of fastening
• Curved collation strip - designed specifically for use with Simpson Quik Drive PRO200SG2, PRO250G2, PRO300SG2, and Project Pro auto-feed screw driving systems for rapid, repeatable placement
• Tan color - blends with common deck board tones for a finished look that does not draw attention to fastener locations

Why This Product

• Built for preservative-treated wood decking - the combination of Quik Guard coating, AC257-rated corrosion resistance, and a variable thread shank addresses the specific demands of outdoor decking with treated lumber, where moisture exposure and wood movement are ongoing concerns
• Speeds up installation with auto-feed compatibility - curved collation strips pair directly with Simpson Quik Drive auto-feed screw driving systems, allowing crews to drive fasteners rapidly and consistently without stopping to hand-load individual screws
• Countersinks cleanly without extra steps - the rimmed flat head with nibs seats flush in a single pass, eliminating the need for pre-drilling or additional finishing work and keeping deck surfaces looking professional
• Versatile across wood fastening applications - while optimized for deck boards, the DSV screw is also suited for guard rail infill, fencing, furniture, and fascia and trim work, making this a practical choice for broader wood-to-wood fastening tasks on the job site

Frequently Asked Questions

What coating does the Simpson DSVT2S screw have, and what protection does it offer?

The DSVT2S features a Quik Guard coating, which provides corrosion resistance for exterior and certain preservative-treated wood applications. It meets the performance requirements of AC257 exposure conditions 1 and 3, making it suitable for demanding outdoor decking environments.

Which auto-feed screw driving systems are compatible with these collated screws?

These collated DSV screws install with the Simpson Strong-Tie Quik Drive PRO200SG2, PRO250G2, PRO300SG2, or Project Pro auto-feed screw driving systems and attachments. The curved collation strip is designed specifically for use with these Quik Drive systems.

Why is the variable thread design important for deck board fastening?

The variable thread design is optimized for dimensional lumber and is engineered to withstand the swelling and shrinkage that is common with fast-growth lumber. This helps maintain a secure, lasting hold in wood deck boards over time as the material naturally expands and contracts with changes in moisture and temperature.

How does the head design of the DSVT2S contribute to a professional finish?

The rimmed flat head with nibs design countersinks easily into wood deck boards and provides a clean, finished appearance. The nibs beneath the head help the screw seat flush with or just below the surface of the decking, eliminating the need for pre-drilling in most applications and delivering a neat, professional result.
