The Simpson TSV214R70WH01 #8 x 2-1/4 in. PVC Trim-Board Screw is a special-purpose fastener from Simpson engineered for reliable, low-effort installation of exterior PVC trim and fascia onto wood. Its triple-thread design drives with less torque while locking boards securely in place, and its white exterior-grade coating blends naturally with popular white PVC trim for a clean, professional result on any outdoor project.

Key Features

• Unique box-shaped cutter head - bores through PVC material and strips away excess during countersinking, so you get a clean, flush finish without additional prep work
• Triple-thread design - reduces the torque needed to drive each fastener while increasing holding power, making installation faster and less fatiguing
• High-low threaded point - engineered specifically for PVC trim board applications, promoting secure, consistent engagement with the substrate
• T20 6-lobe drive - minimizes driver-bit cam-outs during installation, extending bit life and keeping the work surface free of damage
• Flat-washer underhead design - distributes load across a wider surface area, reducing board pull-through and delivering a cleaner, more finished appearance
• White exterior-grade coating - provides medium-level corrosion resistance for outdoor use while blending seamlessly with white PVC trim boards so fasteners stay visually discreet
• T20 6-lobe driver bit included - gets you working right away, with replacement bit model BIT20T-2-R2 available if a spare is ever needed

Why This Product

• Higher pull-through resistance than standard trim-head screws - Simpson internal test results indicate that the PVC Trim-Board Screw outperforms typical trim-head fasteners in pull-through resistance, meaning your trim and fascia stays firmly anchored over time
• Purpose-built for PVC trim and fascia - every design element, from the box-shaped cutter head to the triple-thread pattern, is tailored to the specific demands of exterior PVC board installation rather than adapted from a general-purpose fastener
• Less cam-out, less rework - the 6-lobe drive interface keeps the bit engaged and in control throughout driving, reducing stripped heads and surface damage that slow down a job
• A finish that disappears into the trim - the white exterior-grade coating is specifically matched to popular white PVC trim colors, so countersunk fasteners become nearly invisible and the final installation looks polished without extra touch-up

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the TSV214R70WH01 different from a standard trim-head screw?

Unlike standard trim-head screws, the Simpson TSV214R70WH01 features a unique box-shaped cutter head that bores through PVC materials and strips away excess during countersinking. Simpson Strong-Tie internal test results indicate that this PVC Trim-Board Screw provides higher pull-through resistance than other trim-head screws, and its flat-washer underhead reduces board pull-through for a cleaner, flush finish.

What is the drive type, and does a bit come included?

This screw uses a T20 6-lobe drive, which reduces driver-bit cam-outs for easier installations and longer bit life. A T20 6-lobe driver bit is included with the purchase. If a replacement bit is needed, the replacement bit model is BIT20T-2-R2.

Is this screw suitable for outdoor use?

Yes. The TSV214R70WH01 features a white exterior-grade coating that provides medium-level corrosion resistance, making it well-suited for outdoor applications. The white finish is specifically designed to blend with popular white PVC trim boards used in exterior installations.

What materials is the TSV214R70WH01 designed to fasten?

This screw is specifically engineered for installing exterior PVC trim and fascia onto wood substrates. Its triple-thread design allows for low-torque driving and increased holding power, while the box-shaped cutter head is purpose-built to bore cleanly through PVC materials.
