Simpson #7 x 2-1/2 in. Trim-Head Collated Screw Sharp Point Type 305 SS #2 Sq Drive Gray 04 1,000-Pack delivers the speed and consistency that professional deck builders demand when fastening wood deck boards to PVC or composite decking surfaces. Part of Simpson's Quik Drive collated screw system, these fasteners combine a low-profile trim head, Type 305 stainless steel construction, and a patented curved collation design to make high-volume decking installations cleaner, faster, and more reliable from the first screw to the last.

Key Features

• Trim-style head - sits low and unobtrusive on the decking surface, delivering a clean, finished look that lets the deck material - not the fastener - take center stage
• Type 305 stainless steel material and finish - provides high-level corrosion resistance, keeping fasteners structurally sound and visually consistent in marine environments and other high-exposure outdoor conditions
• Gray 04 color - one of 13 available colors matched to blend with most major PVC and composite decking manufacturers, so fastener heads disappear into the deck surface
• Patented curved collation strips - hold screws up and away from the work surface, making it easier to move and position the Quik Drive tool during installation without interrupting workflow
• Collation strips pointed on the inserted end - simplifies loading so installers spend less time fumbling and more time driving
• #2 square drive - reduces cam-out compared to Phillips-style drives, giving installers better torque control and a cleaner drive every time
• Box threads with sharp point - bite into wood deck boards quickly and securely without requiring a pre-drilled pilot hole, speeding up the fastening process
• Driver bit included in each box - means installers can get to work immediately; replacement bit model BIT2S is available when needed
• Designed specifically for the Simpson Quik Drive PRO250G2 auto-feed screw driving system or attachment - ensures problem-free system performance and consistent screw depth across the entire deck surface

Why This Product

• A fastener engineered for the Quik Drive system, not just compatible with it - Simpson designed these collated screws specifically for use with Quik Drive attachments, so the curved collation, point style, and thread geometry all work together to deliver reliable, consistent performance rather than the guesswork that comes with generic collated screws
• Color-matched discretion straight out of the box - the Gray 04 trim head is precision-matched to blend with major composite and PVC deck board manufacturers, eliminating the need for color touch-ups or caps and giving every installation a polished, professional finish
• Stainless steel construction built for long-term outdoor exposure - Type 305 stainless steel is not simply a cosmetic upgrade; it is a material choice that guards against rust, staining, and structural degradation in the wet, high-humidity, and salt-air conditions where wood and composite decks are most commonly built
• Productivity-focused design from collation strip to drive tip - the curved collation keeps screws positioned away from the work surface for easier tool movement, the sharp point starts fast without pilot holes, and the included driver bit means the full system is ready to run the moment the box is opened

Frequently Asked Questions

What tool is required to use these collated screws?

These screws are designed to install with the Simpson Strong-Tie Quik Drive PRO250G2 auto-feed screw driving system or 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 particularly well-suited for marine or high-exposure environments where PVC or composite decks are installed and where standard steel fasteners would be vulnerable to rust and degradation.

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 tool easier during installation. The collation strips are also pointed on the inserted end to simplify loading into the Quik Drive system.

How many color options are available, and what does Gray 04 match?

These Trim-Head screws are available in 13 colors matched to blend with most major PVC and composite decking manufacturers. Gray 04 is one of those available color options, designed to minimize the visibility of the fastener on the finished decking surface for a clean, professional appearance.
