Grip-rite PTN158S1 Exterior Deck Screw 1-5/8 in Acq 1 Lb

Product Description

The GRIP-RITE PTN158S1 is a polymer-coated exterior deck screw designed for outdoor fastening applications where treated lumber is in use. Each screw measures 1-5/8 inches in length and carries an ACQ rating, meaning it is approved for direct contact with all types of ACQ-treated wood without accelerated corrosion concerns. This box contains 1 pound of fasteners. The polymer coating provides a barrier against moisture and the corrosive compounds present in pressure-treated lumber. Carpenters, remodeling contractors, and general construction tradespeople install these screws in applications where a corrosion-resistant, code-appropriate fastener is required for exterior structural and finish work.

These screws are suited for a wide range of outdoor construction tasks. Typical applications include deck building, fence installation, storage structure assembly, framing, and exterior cabinet work. The ACQ-rated designation makes them appropriate wherever building codes or manufacturer guidelines call for corrosion-resistant fasteners in contact with chemically treated wood. They are a practical choice for residential remodeling and light commercial outdoor construction projects.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by carpenters, remodeling contractors, or qualified DIYers using a standard power driver or drill with the appropriate bit tip. Always use ACQ-rated or corrosion-resistant fasteners as required by local building codes when fastening into pressure-treated lumber. Pre-drilling pilot holes is recommended in hardwoods or near board ends to prevent splitting. Follow applicable IRC or local residential building code requirements for deck and fence fastener selection and spacing.
