Product Description
The Simpson T07225FT70BK #7 x 2-1/4 in. Black Trim-Head Screw delivers a clean, low-profile finish on PVC and composite decking surfaces while providing maximum corrosion resistance in even the most demanding environments. Crafted from Type 316 stainless steel, these screws are engineered for marine and high-exposure coastal applications where standard fasteners quickly degrade. The slim trim-style head blends discreetly into the decking surface, and the painted black finish is matched to complement most major PVC and composite decking manufacturers. Each 70-piece pack includes a T15 driver bit, making this a ready-to-install solution for professional contractors and serious DIYers alike.
Key Features
- Clean, Low-Profile Finish: Trim-style head is less noticeable on the decking surface for a polished, finished appearance.
- Superior Corrosion Resistance: Type 316 stainless steel construction provides maximum protection in marine, seaside, and high-exposure environments where PVC or composite decks are installed.
- Fast, Easy Starts: Type-17 point penetrates decking material quickly, reducing drive time and effort.
- Tight, Secure Pull-Down: Coarse threads on approximately 2/3 of the shank draw the decking and other material tightly to the framing for a firm, durable connection.
- Cam-Out Resistant Drive: 6-lobe (T-15) drive design helps prevent driver-bit cam-out, resulting in easier driving and longer bit life.
- Color-Matched Finish: Black painted head is available to blend with most major PVC and composite decking manufacturers; painted heads available in 13 colors.
- Predrilling Recommended: Predrilling near board ends is recommended to prevent splitting.
- Convenient Pack Size: Comes in a 70-piece quantity pack.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What type of decking material 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 boards in marine or high-exposure environments where superior corrosion resistance is required.
- Why is Type 316 stainless steel important for decking applications?
- Type 316 stainless steel provides maximum corrosion protection, making these screws especially appropriate for marine, seaside, and high-exposure environments. Standard fasteners can degrade quickly in these conditions, while Type 316 stainless steel is engineered to withstand prolonged exposure to moisture and salt-laden air.
- What drive bit is required, and is one included?
- These screws use a T-15 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 you need a replacement bit, the compatible model is BIT15T-2-R2.
- Should I predrill before installing these screws near board ends?
- Yes, predrilling is recommended near board ends to prevent splitting. The Type-17 point is designed for fast starts, and the coarse threads on approximately 2/3 of the shank draw decking material tightly to the framing, but predrilling near edges helps ensure a clean, split-free installation.
