Frequently Asked Questions

What tool is required to install the Simpson DTH212S305BR05 collated trim-head screws?

These screws are specifically designed to install with the Simpson Strong-Tie Quik Drive PRO250G2 auto-feed screw driving system or a compatible Quik Drive attachment. The curved collation design ensures problem-free system performance with this tool.

Why are these screws recommended for marine and high-exposure environments?

The DTH212S305BR05 screws are manufactured from Type 305 stainless steel, which provides high-level corrosion resistance. This makes them well suited for PVC or composite deck installations in marine or other high-exposure outdoor environments where standard steel fasteners may corrode prematurely.

How does the trim-head design benefit the finished appearance of a deck?

The trim-style head sits low and is less noticeable on the decking surface, delivering a clean, finished look compared to traditional larger-head screws. The Brown 05 color is also matched to blend with most major PVC and composite decking manufacturers, making the fasteners virtually disappear into the deck surface.

What drive type and replacement bit are compatible with these screws?

The DTH212S305BR05 uses a #2 square drive. Each box includes one driver bit. If a replacement bit is needed, the compatible model is the BIT2S.
