The Simpson Deck-Drive DCU Screw Plug in Azek Dark Hickory is a precision-matched PVC plug from Simpson, engineered specifically to conceal screw heads when fastening Azek composite deck boards and trim. Manufactured directly from Azek Deck material, each plug delivers an exact color and texture match to your existing boards - eliminating visible fasteners and giving your deck or trim installation a seamless, professional appearance. Sold in a pack of 75, this plug is a core component of the Simpson Strong-Tie Deck-Drive DCU Hidden Deck-Fastening System, designed to work exclusively with DCU Composite screws and the Auto-Set Driver bit (each sold separately).

Key Features

• Manufactured from Azek Deck material for an exact color and texture match - blends naturally into your Azek deck surface so screw locations become virtually invisible
• Conceals screw head for a clean appearance - removes the distraction of exposed fasteners, preserving the finished look of your outdoor project
• Tapered design for easy insertion - seats consistently and securely without extra effort, speeding up the finishing process
• Built from PVC decking material with resistance to weathering - holds up against moisture, sun, and the elements at the same level as your Azek boards
• Compatible exclusively with Simpson Strong-Tie Deck-Drive DCU Composite screws - ensures a proper fit and finish as part of a fully engineered fastening system
• 75 plugs per pack - provides enough coverage to complete a substantial composite or PVC deck or trim fastening project in a single purchase

Why This Product

• A true color and texture match, not an approximation - because these plugs are made directly from Azek Deck material, they match the Dark Hickory color and surface texture of your boards exactly, something generic plugs cannot reliably achieve
• Part of a complete hidden fastening system - paired with DCU Composite screws and the Auto-Set Driver bit, this plug completes a fully coordinated Simpson Strong-Tie solution designed so every component works together
• Eliminates visible hardware on composite and PVC deck surfaces - ideal for deck boards, trim, fascia, and millwork applications where exposed screw heads would compromise the finished appearance
• Weather-resistant PVC construction built to last - the same material properties that make Azek boards durable are built into every plug, so the concealed finish holds up over time without fading or degrading faster than the surrounding surface
