Grip-rite DIB243617 Star Drive Green Deck Screw

Product Description

The GRIP-RITE DIB243617 is a PrimeGuard Plus star drive green deck screw designed for exterior wood decking applications. The star drive recess resists cam-out during installation, reducing bit slippage and improving drive control. The green coating indicates a corrosion-resistant treatment suited for pressure-treated lumber and other outdoor wood assemblies. This fastener is typically installed by carpenters, deck contractors, and general construction trades on residential and light commercial projects.

The DIB243617 is used in exterior deck construction and framing applications where a corrosion-resistant fastener is required. It is appropriate for use with pressure-treated lumber, composite decking substrates with wood framing, and similar outdoor structural assemblies. The star drive head style makes it a common choice on job sites where speed and reduced cam-out are priorities during field installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by carpenters or deck contractors using a star drive bit sized to match the recess. Confirm bit size before driving to avoid stripping the recess. Pre-drilling may be required near board ends to prevent splitting. Follow local building codes for fastener spacing and penetration depth on structural deck assemblies.
