Simpson #7 x 2-1/2 in. Collated Trim-Head Screw Sharp Point Type 305 SS #2 Sq Drive Tan 04 screws are engineered for residential, commercial, and industrial fastening applications - including deck boards, docks, and boardwalks where a clean surface appearance and long-term corrosion resistance are equally important. Designed as part of the Simpson Quik Drive collated system, these trim-head fasteners combine low-profile aesthetics with high-performance materials, and their Tan 04 color is matched to blend with most major PVC and composite decking manufacturers across a range of 13 available colors.

Key Features

• Trim-style head - sits low and discreet on the decking surface, delivering a clean, finished look that keeps fasteners from drawing attention on PVC or composite boards
• Type 305 stainless steel construction - provides high-level corrosion resistance, keeping fasteners structurally sound in marine environments, docks, boardwalks, and other high-exposure outdoor settings
• Tan 04 color finish - blends naturally with popular PVC and composite decking products, reducing visible contrast at each fastener point for a more polished result
• Curved collation strips - hold screws up and away from the work surface, making it easier to move and reposition the Quik Drive tool during installation without interference
• Sharp point - penetrates decking material cleanly without requiring a pilot hole, speeding up the fastening process across large surface areas
• Box threads - designed to grip wood and composite materials firmly, reducing the chance of fastener back-out over time
• #2 square drive - provides positive bit engagement and reduces cam-out during high-volume collated driving, improving consistency across each fastener
• Driver bit included in each box - gets you started immediately without a separate purchase; replacement bit model BIT2S is available when needed
• Specifically engineered for Quik Drive attachments - ensures problem-free system performance when used with the Simpson Strong-Tie Quik Drive PRO250G2 auto-feed screw driving system or compatible attachment

Why This Product

• Purpose-built for collated auto-feed installation - these screws are specifically designed for use with Simpson Quik Drive attachments, meaning the collation strip geometry, point, and thread profile are all optimized to feed, drive, and seat correctly every time - reducing jams and installation errors on large decking projects
• Corrosion resistance matched to demanding environments - Type 305 stainless steel construction makes these fasteners a reliable choice for docks, boardwalks, and coastal or high-moisture deck applications where lesser materials would corrode and compromise the surface over time
• Aesthetic integration with composite and PVC decking - the low-profile trim head combined with a color-matched Tan 04 finish means fasteners blend into the board surface rather than standing out, supporting a professional-grade finished appearance on any deck installation
• Efficiency features that reduce labor time - the curved collation design simplifies tool positioning, the sharp point eliminates pre-drilling, and the included driver bit means fewer interruptions - all adding up to faster, more consistent installation across residential or commercial decking jobs
