Product Description
The Simpson T07162FT70TN01 Trim-Head Screw is a #7 x 1-5/8 in. decking fastener engineered from Type 316 Stainless Steel for superior corrosion resistance in marine and high-exposure environments where PVC or composite decks are installed. The trim-style head features a low-profile 0.230 in. diameter design that remains less noticeable on the decking surface, delivering a clean, professional finish. Painted in Tan 01, these screws are available in 13 colors designed to blend with most major PVC and composite decking manufacturers. Each 70-piece pack includes a T15 driver bit for immediate use on the job.
Key Features

Frequently Asked Questions
- What type of decking materials are these screws compatible with?
- These trim-head screws are designed to fasten wood decking and some composite decking materials. They are particularly well-suited for PVC and composite deck installations in marine or high-exposure environments where superior corrosion resistance is required, such as docks and boardwalks.
- Why is Type 316 Stainless Steel specified for these screws?
- Type 316 Stainless Steel provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard stainless grades, making these screws ideal for marine environments and other high-exposure applications where moisture, salt air, or harsh conditions could cause standard fasteners to corrode prematurely.
- Is predrilling required before installing these screws?
- Predrilling is not required in most applications, as the Type-17 point is designed for fast starts. However, predrilling is recommended near board ends to prevent splitting. The coarse threads on approximately 2/3 of the shank draw the decking material tightly to the framing for a secure hold once driven.
- What drive bit is needed, and is one included with this package?
- These screws use a T15 6-lobe drive, which helps prevent driver-bit cam-out for easier driving and longer bit life. Each 70-piece pack includes one T15 driver bit. If a replacement bit is needed, the compatible replacement model is BIT15T-2-R2.
