Simpson #7 x 2-1/2 in. Tan 03 Collated Trim-Head Screw Sharp Point Type 305 Stainless Steel #2 Square Drive (1,000-Qty) is a Quik Drive collated fastener engineered by Simpson for wood-to-wood fastening in residential, commercial, and industrial decking applications. Designed specifically for use with Simpson Quik Drive auto-feed attachments, these screws combine a low-profile trim-style head with Type 305 stainless steel construction and a Tan 03 color finish that blends seamlessly with most major PVC and composite decking products - delivering both reliable performance and a clean, finished appearance on every installation.

Key Features

• Trim-style head - sits low and unobtrusive on the decking surface, producing a clean, professional finish that keeps fasteners from drawing attention on PVC and composite deck boards
• Curved collation strips - hold screws up and away from the work surface, making moving and positioning the Quik Drive tool easier and reducing installer fatigue during repetitive fastening
• #2 square drive - provides a secure, positive bit engagement that minimizes cam-out and keeps the installation process efficient and controlled
• Type 305 stainless steel construction - delivers high-level corrosion resistance suited for marine, waterfront, and high-exposure environments where standard fasteners may fail prematurely
• Sharp point - penetrates wood decking cleanly without pre-drilling, speeding up the fastening process and reducing prep time on the job
• Box threads - designed to grip wood-to-wood connections firmly, providing a strong, lasting hold in deck board and boardwalk applications
• Tan 03 color-matched finish - blends with most major PVC and composite decking manufacturers, keeping screw heads visually consistent with the surrounding deck surface
• Driver bit included in each box - gets installers up and running immediately, with replacement bit model BIT2S available for ongoing use

Why This Product

• Purpose-built for Quik Drive auto-feed systems - these collated screws are specifically engineered for Simpson Quik Drive attachments, ensuring problem-free system performance and consistent results across residential, commercial, and industrial deck installations without compatibility guesswork
• Color coordination that holds up over time - the Tan 03 finish is matched to blend with most major PVC and composite decking manufacturers, so fastener heads stay visually consistent with the deck surface rather than standing out as an eyesore after installation
• Corrosion resistance where it matters most - Type 305 stainless steel construction makes these screws a dependable choice for dock, boardwalk, and waterfront deck projects where exposure to moisture and harsh conditions would degrade standard carbon steel fasteners over time
• Faster, cleaner installs with less effort - the curved collation design keeps screws positioned away from the work surface for easier tool movement, while the sharp point eliminates pre-drilling, so contractors and builders can cover more deck surface in less time without sacrificing a neat, finished result

Frequently Asked Questions

What tool is required to drive the DTH212S305TN03 collated trim-head screws?

These collated screws are designed to install with the Simpson Strong-Tie Quik Drive PRO250G2 auto-feed screw driving system or a compatible Quik Drive attachment. They are specifically engineered for use with Quik Drive attachments to ensure problem-free system performance.

Why is Type 305 stainless steel used for these screws?

Type 305 stainless steel provides high-level corrosion resistance, making these screws well suited for marine and high-exposure environments where PVC or composite decks are installed and where standard carbon steel fasteners may corrode prematurely.

What is the purpose of the curved collation strip design?

The patented curved collation strips hold the screws up and away from the work surface. This design makes moving and positioning the Quik Drive tool easier during installation, improving efficiency and reducing fatigue on the job site.

Does the Tan 03 color match specific decking brands?

Yes. The Tan 03 color is part of a palette of 13 available colors that are matched to blend with most major PVC and composite decking manufacturers, helping the trim-style screw heads remain less noticeable on the decking surface for a clean, finished look.
