Bsc Preferred 34312KT2 Exterior Star Drive Screw 1 Lb

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED 34312KT2 is a polymer-coated exterior wood screw designed for outdoor fastening applications in residential and light commercial construction. The screw features a 6-lobed star drive head that promotes fast bit engagement and improved torque control during installation. A countersinking bugle head allows the fastener to seat flush with the work surface, reducing the risk of head protrusion and leaving a clean finish. The extra coarse thread and Type 17 cutting point are engineered to pull material tight and reduce splitting. The PrimeGuard Plus polymer coating provides corrosion resistance against the elements for exterior service life.

This screw is suited for decks, fencing, siding, and general exterior wood construction. It is rated for use with pressure treated lumber, cedar, and redwood. Note that cedar and redwood may streak or stain when used with coated fasteners of any type. For those species, stainless steel fasteners are strongly recommended. The product ships in a 1 lb box. Package counts are approximate.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 6-lobed star drive bit matched to the screw size. Pre-drilling is recommended in hardwoods or near board ends to reduce splitting. For cedar and redwood, consider pilot holes to further minimize grain damage. Follow applicable building codes for deck and exterior framing fastener schedules and spacing.
