Product Description
The Simpson Deck-Drive DCU Composite Screw - #10 x 2-3/4 in., Type 316 Stainless Steel, Tan 02, Collated (1,000-Pack) is engineered specifically for composite and PVC decking applications, delivering clean fastening results with greater ease of installation and superb corrosion resistance. Designed by Simpson as the go-to fastener for composite deck boards, this screw eliminates the need to mix and match fasteners across different decking types. Its color-matched Tan 02 painted cap head blends seamlessly with popular decking products for a more concealed, professional finish, while the curved-collated format is compatible with the Simpson Strong-Tie Quik Drive PRO300SG2 auto-feed screw driving system or attachment for fast, consistent installation.
Key Features
- Tri-lobe thread design - reduces damage to the composite board while driving, protecting the decking surface and maintaining structural integrity throughout installation
- Inverted upper threads - clear excess material as the screw seats, ensuring a consistent, flush finish across every board without manual cleanup
- Type-17 point - penetrates composite decking with ease for faster starts, reducing drive time and minimizing the risk of splitting or cracking
- Cap head design - prevents mushrooming and material from rising above the deck surface, resulting in a smoother, clean-looking installation

- Tan 02 color-matched painted head - blends with popular composite decking products for a more concealed, finished appearance that enhances the look of the completed deck
- T20 6-lobe drive with included driver bit - delivers precise torque transfer and reduces cam-out during installation, and a replacement bit (model BITTX20-PL-RC3) is available separately
