Product Description
Simpson Deck-Drive DCU Composite Screw, #10 x 2-3/4 in., Type 316 Stainless Steel, Gray 05, 1,000-Pack (Collated) is engineered for composite and PVC decking installations where a clean finish and long-term durability are equally important. Built from Type 316 stainless steel for severe-level corrosion resistance, this curved-collated screw is designed to work across all types of composite decking - eliminating the need to mix and match fasteners for different boards. The color-matching Gray 05 painted cap head blends with popular decking products for a more concealed, professional result, while purpose-built thread and point geometry make installation faster and more consistent from start to finish.
Key Features
- Tri-lobe thread design - reduces damage to the composite board while driving, protecting the deck surface and preserving board integrity
- Inverted upper threads - clear excess material during installation so the screw seats properly and consistently every time, reducing rework
- Type-17 point - penetrates composite decking with ease for faster starts, saving time on large deck projects
- Cap head design - prevents mushrooming and material from rising above the deck surface, delivering a smoother, cleaner-looking finished installation
- Gray 05 color-matching painted head - blends with popular composite decking colors for a more concealed, finished appearance without additional touch-up
- Type 316 stainless steel construction - provides severe-level corrosion resistance, making these screws well-suited for demanding outdoor environments exposed to moisture and the elements
- Curved collation and T20 6-lobe drive - designed to install with the Simpson Strong-Tie Quik Drive PRO300SG2 auto-feed system for faster, more consistent driving across the entire deck surface (driver bit included)
Why This Product
- One screw for all composite decking applications - the Deck-Drive DCU is engineered as a universal solution for composite and PVC decking, so there is no need to source and manage multiple fastener types across a job site
- Purpose-built geometry protects your investment - the tri-lobe threads and cap head work together to minimize board damage during driving and eliminate surface mushrooming, helping composite decking look its best long after installation
- Severe-level corrosion resistance for outdoor confidence - Type 316 stainless steel construction goes beyond standard outdoor fastener grades, making these screws a dependable choice for decks exposed to coastal air, rain, and humidity
- Auto-feed compatibility speeds up installation - the curved-collated format pairs directly with the Simpson Strong-Tie Quik Drive PRO300SG2 system, significantly reducing installation time on large composite deck projects compared to individually driven fasteners
