KEY FEATURES & PERFORMANCE

• Mushroom-Free Aesthetics: Features a specialized undercut head that cuts cleanly through the hard outer layer of capstock, and reverse threads that compress material downward to completely eliminate "mushrooming."
• Reduced Driving Torque: Engineered with tri-lobular shanks and threads to reduce friction, making installation faster and extending battery life.
• Fast Starting Auger Tip: The Type 17 auger tip provides immediate engagement and clears debris during drive-in to prevent board splitting.
• Secure Star Drive: An extra deep T-20 Star Drive recess eliminates cam-out and ensures maximum torque transfer.
• ACQ Approved: Fully certified for use in ACQ and other types of pressure-treated lumber.
• Variety of Colors: Available in a wide range of colors to match all major composite and PVC decking brands.

TOOL COMPATIBILITY (Sold Separately)

• SMART-BIT® Depth Setter Tool: Highly recommended for achieving a perfectly uniform finish. It ensures every screw is driven to the exact same depth every time.

PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION WORKFLOW

1. Standard Pattern: Install two screws per joist.
2. Predrilling: Recommended for all applications and mandatory when fastening within 1" from the end of a board to prevent cracking.
3. Driving: Drive the screw until it is flush with the decking surface. Do not overdrive.
4. Coastal Environments: For projects directly on the saltwater coast, Grade 316 Stainless Steel fasteners are recommended.
