Simpson #7 x 2-1/2 in. Tan Collated Trim-Head Screw brings together corrosion resistance, clean aesthetics, and auto-feed efficiency for wood deck boards, docks, and boardwalks where long-term durability and a polished finish are equally important. Engineered as part of the Simpson Quik Drive collated fastener line, these Type 305 stainless steel screws are designed specifically for use with Quik Drive auto-feed attachments, ensuring consistent, problem-free performance across residential, commercial, and industrial decking applications. The tan color is matched to blend with most major PVC and composite decking manufacturers, making these screws a practical choice wherever a low-profile, color-coordinated result is required.

Key Features

• Trim-style head - sits low and is less noticeable on the decking surface, delivering a clean, finished look without the visual disruption of a standard screw head
• Type 305 stainless steel construction - provides high-level corrosion resistance, keeping fasteners reliable in marine, high-exposure, and moisture-heavy environments over the long term
• Curved collation strips - hold screws up and away from the work surface, making it easier to move and position the tool during installation and reducing downtime between fasteners
• Tan color matched to major PVC and composite decking brands - allows screw heads to blend discreetly into the decking surface for a cohesive, professional appearance
• Sharp point - enables clean, reliable penetration into wood decking without pre-drilling, speeding up installation
• Box threads - designed for secure wood-to-wood fastening, reducing the risk of the screw backing out under load or seasonal movement
• #2 square drive - provides solid bit engagement and reduces cam-out during high-volume auto-feed installation
• Driver bit included in every box - lets installers get started immediately, with replacement bit model BIT2S available separately when needed
• Specifically designed for Quik Drive auto-feed systems - engineered to work with the Simpson Quik Drive PRO250G2 auto-feed screw driving system or attachment, ensuring optimum, problem-free system performance

Why This Product

• Purpose-built for auto-feed efficiency - these screws are specifically engineered for use with Simpson Quik Drive attachments, so installers get consistent, system-optimized performance on every fastener rather than adapting a general-purpose screw to a collated system
• Corrosion resistance where it matters most - Type 305 stainless steel makes these trim-head screws well-suited for docks, boardwalks, and coastal or high-humidity deck environments where fastener degradation is a common long-term failure point
• Aesthetic results without extra steps - the low-profile trim head combined with tan coloring matched to major composite and PVC decking manufacturers means the fasteners blend in naturally, eliminating the need for color caps or touch-up after installation
• Designed for productivity - the pointed tip on the inserted end simplifies loading into the collation strip, and the curved collation keeps screws clear of the work surface, both reducing friction in the installation workflow on large decking projects
