Grip-rite P3S2M Combo Wood Deck Screw No. 9 X 3 in 2000 Ct

Product Description

The GRIP-RITE P3S2M PrimeGuard Plus is a No. 9 x 3-inch coarse-thread combination-drive wood deck screw sold in a 2000-count case. Built on a carbon steel C1022 base with a galvanized gray coating, this fastener is engineered for long service life in treated-lumber applications. The coating is formulated to resist corrosion and blends visually with the color of pressure-treated wood. A Type 17 drill tip allows the screw to self-start in wood without pre-drilling, and the coarse thread geometry is designed to reduce wood splitting and minimize driving friction.

This screw is intended for exterior deck construction, framing attachment, and general treated-lumber fastening. The galvanized base combined with the premium coating makes it appropriate for ground-contact and above-ground treated lumber where corrosion resistance is a priority. Deck builders, framing carpenters, and general contractors typically use this fastener in residential and light commercial wood-decking installations where high-volume fastening efficiency is required.

Key Features

• Type 17 drill tip self-starts without pre-drilling
• Coarse thread pattern reduces wood splitting and driving friction

Compatibility

Compliant for use with treated lumber. Designed as an OEM-style deck fastener for exterior wood-decking and treated-lumber framing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by carpenters and deck builders using a power drill or impact driver with the appropriate combination-drive bit. Follow local building codes and lumber manufacturer guidelines for fastener spacing and penetration depth when attaching decking to joists. Avoid overdriving, which can compromise the coating and reduce corrosion resistance at the fastener head. Use appropriate eye protection when driving fasteners at high speed.
