Deck-Drive™ DCU COMPOSITE Screw (Collated)

The Deck-Drive DCU Composite screw is engineered to provide beautiful fastening results for all types of composite decking while also offering greater ease of installation, a clean finish and superb corrosion resistance. The Deck-Drive DCU is the go-to-screw for all your composite decking applications, eliminating the need to mix and match screws to the decking.

Deck-Drive DCU Composite decking screws are available in carbon steel with our Quik Guard® coating. For superior corrosion resistance in marine or high-exposure environments, choose the appropriate stainless-steel DCU screw (Type 305 or Type 316). DCU screws provide a clean finish because of their special head design and are available in a wide range of colors, matched to blend with most major decking manufacturers.

Key Features

  • Available in carbon steel, as well as Type 305 and Type 316 stainless steel for high to severe levels of corrosion resistance
  • Tri-lobe thread design reduces damage to the composite board while driving
  • Inverted upper threads clear excess material to ensure that the screw has a clean finish
  • Unique cut point penetrates composite decking with ease for fast starts
  • Cap-head prevents mushrooming and material from rising up above the deck for a smoother, clean-looking installation
  • Approved fastener (by Trex®) for Trex composite decking
  • 6-lobe drive recess for secure driving
  • When countersinking for DCU plug solutions, use the Quik Drive® Auto-Set Driver™ Bit (model QRTX20-PL) with depth set to maximum

Applications

  • Fastening composite decking boards

  1. Allowable uplift is limited by fastener pull-through value, which is the lessor of fastener pull-through and withdrawal. No other properties of the deck materials or deck construction are considered.
  2. Withdrawal property is based on duration of load of CD = 1.6 and wet service factor of CM = 0.7.
