Product Description
The Simpson Deck-Drive DCU Composite Screw - #10 x 2-3/4 in., Type 316 Stainless Steel, Brown 05, Collated (1,000-Qty) is engineered specifically for composite and PVC decking applications, delivering a clean, professional finish without the need to mix and match fasteners across different decking types. Built from Type 316 stainless steel for severe-level corrosion resistance, this collated screw combines a tri-lobe thread design, cap head, and Type-17 point to seat consistently flush with the board surface on every drive - and its Brown 05 color-matched head keeps the finished deck looking polished and cohesive. Compatible with the Simpson Strong-Tie Quik Drive PRO300SG2 auto-feed screw driving system, it is designed for efficient, high-volume installation on composite deck boards.
Key Features
- Tri-lobe thread design - reduces stress and damage to the composite board during driving, preserving the integrity of the decking material for a cleaner result
- Inverted upper threads - clear excess material as the screw seats, ensuring the head sits consistently flush without buildup or surface irregularities
- Type-17 point - penetrates composite decking with ease for faster starts and reduced driving effort, helping speed up installation across large deck surfaces
- Cap head design - prevents mushrooming and material from rising above the deck surface, producing a smooth, professional-looking finish without post-installation touch-ups
- Type 316 stainless steel construction - provides severe-level corrosion resistance, making these fasteners well-suited for demanding outdoor environments and coastal or high-moisture applications
- Brown 05 color-matched head - blends with popular composite decking finishes to deliver a more concealed, finished appearance across the completed deck
- Trex-approved fastener - meets Trex composite decking requirements, giving installers confidence in compliance and compatibility without additional verification
- T20 6-lobe drive with included driver bit - provides a secure bit engagement that reduces cam-out during driving, and the included bit means the tool is ready to use straight from the package
- Curved collation format - compatible with auto-feed screw driving tools for faster, continuous installation and reduced fatigue on large composite decking projects
