Product Description
The Simpson Deck-Drive DCU Composite Screw (Collated) #10 x 2-3/4 in. Tan is a precision-engineered fastener from Simpson built specifically for composite and PVC decking installations. Designed to eliminate the need to mix and match screws across different composite decking products, this collated screw delivers clean, consistent results every time - combining an advanced thread geometry, a color-matched tan cap head, and a corrosion-resistant Quik Guard coating that stands up to the demands of outdoor decking environments. The curved-collation format is compatible with the Quik Drive PRO300SG2 auto-feed screw driving system, making it well-suited for high-volume deck board installations.
Key Features
- Tri-lobe thread design - reduces stress and damage to the composite board during driving, preserving the integrity and appearance of the decking surface
- Inverted upper threads - clear excess material as the screw seats, ensuring a proper, consistent flush finish across every fastening point
- Type-17 point - penetrates composite decking quickly for faster starts, reducing installation time and driver slippage
- Cap head design - prevents mushrooming and material rise above the deck surface, resulting in a smoother, cleaner-looking finished deck
- Quik Guard coating - rated for use in pressure-treated lumber and delivers a level of corrosion resistance equivalent to hot-dip galvanization (ASTM A153, Class D) in some exposures, protecting the fastener in outdoor conditions
- Tan painted head color - blends with popular composite decking products to provide a more concealed, finished appearance
- Trex-approved fastener - confirmed as an approved fastener by Trex for use with Trex composite decking, supporting warranty-compliant installations
- T20 6-lobe drive with included driver bit - provides secure bit engagement to reduce cam-out during high-repetition driving, and the bit is included so work can begin right away
- Curved-collation format - compatible with the Quik Drive PRO300SG2 auto-feed screw driving system and attachment for faster, more consistent installation across composite deck boards
Why This Product
- One screw for all composite decking types - the Deck-Drive DCU is engineered as a universal composite and PVC decking fastener, removing the guesswork of matching different screws to different decking products and streamlining the job site workflow
- Clean results built into the design - the combination of the cap head, inverted upper threads, and tri-lobe thread geometry works together to seat screws flush and consistently without damaging or raising the composite board surface, keeping the finished deck looking professional
- Corrosion resistance rated to a recognized standard - the Quik Guard coating provides corrosion resistance equivalent to hot-dip galvanization (ASTM A153, Class D) in some exposures, making this screw a dependable choice for outdoor decking applications where moisture and pressure-treated lumber contact are common concerns
- Trex-approved and auto-feed system compatible - with official Trex fastener approval and compatibility with the Quik Drive PRO300SG2, this screw fits naturally into both warranty-sensitive projects and production-pace installations where speed and consistency matter
