Product Description
The Simpson EB-TY EB14W Premium Hidden Deck Fastener Kit with 2-1/4" Type 316 Stainless-Steel Screws (175-Pack), model EB14WD316R175 by Simpson Strong-Tie, is the complete solution for achieving a clean, fastener-free deck surface without sacrificing structural integrity. Designed for use with 3/4-in. or greater kiln-dried wood deck boards, this premium hidden fastening system blends strength with ease of installation, keeping screw heads completely out of sight for a polished, professional finish. Simpson Strong-Tie has redesigned the award-winning EB-TY system by integrating a Type 300 series stainless-steel reinforcing plate that adds stiffness to hold boards securely in place, while still maintaining the flexibility needed to accommodate seasonal contraction and expansion.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What type of decking is this fastener kit compatible with?
- The EB-TY EB14W Premium Hidden Deck Fastener Kit is designed for use with 3/4-in. or greater kiln-dried decking that has a moisture content less than air dry, which is approximately 19%. It is suitable for wood deck boards, including hardwoods such as Ipê, which is reflected by the inclusion of Ipê plugs for first and last board installations.
- How does the EB-GUIDE tool help during installation?
- The patented EB-GUIDE predrill guide provides precise fastener angle alignment, ensuring consistent biscuit installations across every deck board. This tool is included in the kit along with a 1/8 in. quick-release impact-ready drill bit and a T-15 6-lobe driver bit, giving you everything needed for accurate and efficient installation.
- Why does this kit include 190 screws for 175 biscuits?
- The kit includes (190) Type 316 stainless-steel screws and (175) EB-TY Premium biscuits to account for the first and last board installations. The Ipê wood plugs included in the kit are specifically used for securing those end boards, which may require a different fastening approach than the hidden biscuit method used for the field boards.
- How does the stainless-steel reinforcing plate improve performance?
- Simpson Strong-Tie integrated a Type 300 series stainless-steel reinforcing plate into the redesigned EB-TY biscuit. This plate adds stiffness to hold boards securely in place and increases pullover resistance, while still maintaining enough flexibility to accommodate the natural seasonal contraction and expansion of wood deck boards.
