Simpson #8 x 1 3/4 Tan 02 Composite Fascia Screws in Type 316 Stainless Steel are specialty fasteners engineered for the secure attachment of composite and PVC fascia boards in exterior applications where a clean, lasting finish matters. Built from Type 316 stainless steel for severe-level corrosion resistance and designed with a low-profile pancake head that resists pullover, these screws deliver the board stability and professional appearance that exterior fascia installations demand.

Key Features

• Approved for attachment of Trex Fascia Boards - gives installers confidence that this fastener meets the requirements of one of the most widely used composite fascia products on the market.
• Deep T-20 6-lobe recess - reduces cam-outs during driving, resulting in cleaner installation and less risk of bit slippage or surface damage on finished fascia.
• Type-17 point - enables fast starts without pre-drilling, saving time and effort during composite and PVC fascia board installation.
• Low-profile pancake head - resists pullover and sits flush against the board surface for a neat, professional appearance on exposed exterior trim.
• Type 316 stainless steel construction - provides severe-level corrosion resistance, making these screws well-suited for exterior environments with ongoing exposure to moisture and the elements.
• Tan 02 head color - blends with the fascia surface to minimize the visual impact of each fastener and maintain a finished look on the completed installation.
• Includes T-20 6-lobe driver bit - means the right tool for the job is ready to go right out of the pack, reducing trips back to the supply bin during installation.

Why This Product

• Specifically approved for Trex fascia board attachment - rather than a general-purpose fastener adapted to the task, this Simpson screw is purpose-built and explicitly approved for composite fascia applications, removing guesswork for contractors and DIYers working with Trex products.
• Severe-level corrosion resistance from Type 316 stainless steel - exterior fascia takes constant exposure to rain, humidity, and coastal conditions, and Type 316 stainless steel is designed to hold up in those demanding environments where lesser materials fall short.
• Engineered head geometry minimizes visible fastener impact - the combination of the low-profile pancake head and the color-matched Tan 02 finish works together to keep the focus on the fascia, not the hardware.
• Cam-out-resistant drive system paired with a fast-start point - the deep T-20 6-lobe recess and the Type-17 point work together to speed up installation and reduce frustration, which adds up to real time savings across a full fascia run.
