Big Timber BTX103 Flat Head Wood Screw 10x3 in 1500 Ct

Product Description

The BIG TIMBER BTX103 is a No. 10 x 3-inch flat head wood screw engineered for demanding exterior and structural applications. Built from hardened steel with a bronze exterior coating, it delivers corrosion resistance suitable for treated lumber and outdoor assemblies. The flat head features integrated nibs that seat flush into wood surfaces, while the deep-thread profile provides strong pull-through resistance. A star drive recess reduces cam-out and speeds installation. This fastener is sold in a 1500-count box, making it practical for production framing, decking, and large-scale exterior carpentry jobs.

The BTX103 is designed for exterior wood construction where ACQ-treated lumber is present, including deck framing, fencing, ledger boards, and similar outdoor structural work. The bronze coating is rated compatible with ACQ preservative-treated wood, reducing the galvanic corrosion risk that standard zinc fasteners can experience in treated material. Carpenters, framers, and deck contractors are the typical installers for this fastener in both residential and light commercial settings.

Key Features

• No. 10 x 3-inch flat head profile with integrated nibs for flush, clean seating
• Hardened steel construction for high shear and pull-through strength
• Bronze exterior coating rated ACQ compatible for treated lumber applications
• Deep thread design maximizes holding power in dimensional lumber and engineered wood
• Star drive recess minimizes cam-out during high-torque power driving
• 1500-count box quantity supports production-volume exterior carpentry work

Compatibility

Designed for use in most exterior wood applications with ACQ-treated lumber, dimensional framing lumber, and similar wood substrates where a corrosion-resistant flat head fastener is required.

Installation Notes

Install with a star drive bit sized to match the BTX103 recess; use a variable-speed driver to avoid overdriving the flat head past flush. Pre-drilling is recommended in hardwoods or near board edges to prevent splitting. Follow applicable building codes for fastener schedules in structural and deck applications, including IRC and local amendments where required.
