The Simpson Deck-Drive DCU Screw Plug - Azek Traditional (80-Qty) from Simpson is a purpose-built PVC trim plug designed to conceal screw heads in composite deck board and trim installations, leaving behind a clean, fastener-free surface. Each plug is manufactured directly from Azek Trim material, producing an exact color and texture match to Azek Traditional boards so finished decks and trim surfaces look polished and seamless. Part of the complete Deck-Drive DCU Hidden Deck-Fastening System, these plugs work alongside DCU Composite screws and the Auto-Set Driver bit (each sold separately) to deliver a professional result on composite decking, PVC trim, and fascia applications.

Key Features

• Manufactured from Azek Trim material - provides an exact color and texture match to Azek Traditional boards, so plugs blend invisibly into the finished surface rather than standing out as obvious patches
• Built-in weathering resistance - because the plugs share the same PVC trim material as the boards themselves, they hold up against the same outdoor conditions without fading or degrading at a different rate than the surrounding deck surface
• Conceals screw head completely - eliminates visible fasteners for a clean, professional appearance across deck boards, trim, and fascia installations
• Tapered design - allows for easy, consistent insertion into the plug hole without excessive force, speeding up installation and reducing the chance of surface damage
• For use only with Simpson Deck-Drive DCU Composite screws - ensures a precise fit between plug and screw head, maintaining the integrity and appearance of the complete hidden fastening system

Why This Product

• A true material match, not an approximation - because these plugs are made from actual Azek Trim material, the color and texture alignment is exact, giving composite deck and trim projects a finished look that generic plugs simply cannot replicate
• Engineered as part of a complete system - the Deck-Drive DCU plug, screw, and driver bit are designed to work together, so each component performs as intended rather than relying on mix-and-match parts that may not fit correctly
• Practical quantity for real projects - the 80-plug packaging is sized to cover meaningful coverage on deck boards and trim runs, keeping the job moving without constant reordering mid-project
• PVC construction built for outdoor use - the same material properties that make Azek Trim a trusted choice for exterior applications carry over directly to these plugs, supporting long-term performance in decking, PVC fascia, and millwork finishing projects
