Simpson #7 x 2-1/2 in. Collated Trim-Head Screws in Type 305 Stainless Steel, Tan 02 are purpose-built fasteners for wood deck board, dock, and boardwalk installations where a clean surface appearance and long-term corrosion resistance are both priorities. Engineered as part of the Simpson Quik Drive collated screw system, these sharp-point, box-thread screws pair directly with the Quik Drive auto-feed screw driving system to deliver consistent, efficient fastening across residential, commercial, and industrial decking projects. Available in a Tan 02 color matched to blend with most major PVC and composite decking manufacturers, they let the deck surface speak for itself rather than the fasteners.

Key Features

• Trim-style head - sits low and inconspicuous on the decking surface, producing a clean, finished look that keeps the focus on the deck boards, not the fasteners
• Curved collation strips - hold screws up and away from the work surface, making it easier to move and position the Quik Drive tool without interrupting workflow
• Sharp point - starts penetration quickly and cleanly without pre-drilling, reducing installation steps on wood deck boards
• Box threads - provide strong holding power in wood-to-wood fastening applications including decks, docks, and boardwalks
• #2 square drive - reduces cam-out during driving for more consistent screw setting and less risk of stripped heads
• Type 305 stainless steel construction - delivers high-level corrosion resistance, making these screws a sound choice for outdoor and marine environments where moisture exposure is a constant concern
• Tan 02 painted head color - blends with most major PVC and composite decking manufacturers so fasteners remain visually unobtrusive after installation
• Driver bit included in each box - gets you fastening immediately out of the box, with replacement bit model BIT2S available separately when needed

Why This Product

• System-matched performance - these screws are specifically designed for use with Simpson Quik Drive attachments and the Quik Drive PRO250G2 auto-feed system, so collation, drive depth, and strip feed work together without the compatibility guesswork that comes with generic collated screws
• Corrosion resistance built for outdoor exposure - Type 305 stainless steel is an intentional material choice for deck, dock, and boardwalk applications where fasteners face ongoing moisture, humidity, and the elements throughout their service life
• Aesthetics designed into the fastener - the combination of a trim-style low-profile head and a color-matched Tan 02 finish means the screw blends into the deck surface rather than drawing attention, which is especially valuable on high-visibility composite and PVC deck installations
• Engineered for efficient installation - the patented curved collation, sharp point entry, and included driver bit all reduce friction in the installation process, supporting faster, more consistent fastening on larger decking projects
