Frequently Asked Questions

What tool is required to drive the DTH212S305TN03 collated trim-head screws?

These collated screws are designed to install with the Simpson Strong-Tie Quik Drive PRO250G2 auto-feed screw driving system or a compatible Quik Drive attachment. They are specifically engineered for use with Quik Drive attachments to ensure problem-free system performance.

Why is Type 305 stainless steel used for these screws?

Type 305 stainless steel provides high-level corrosion resistance, making these screws well suited for marine and high-exposure environments where PVC or composite decks are installed and where standard carbon steel fasteners may corrode prematurely.

What is the purpose of the curved collation strip design?

The patented curved collation strips hold the screws up and away from the work surface. This design makes moving and positioning the Quik Drive tool easier during installation, improving efficiency and reducing fatigue on the job site.

Does the Tan 03 color match specific decking brands?

Yes. The Tan 03 color is part of a palette of 13 available colors that are matched to blend with most major PVC and composite decking manufacturers, helping the trim-style screw heads remain less noticeable on the decking surface for a clean, finished look.
