Grip-rite PTN3S1 Exterior Deck Screw 1 Lb Acq Rated

Product Description

The GRIP-RITE PTN3S1 is a polymer-coated exterior deck screw sold in a 1-pound box and designed for outdoor fastening applications. The polymer coating provides corrosion resistance in exposed conditions, and the screw carries an ACQ rating, meaning it is approved for direct contact with all types of ACQ-treated lumber. This matters on exterior jobs where standard zinc-plated fasteners can corrode rapidly when paired with copper-based preservative treatments. Carpenters, remodelers, and general contractors reach for this fastener when building decks, fences, and outdoor storage structures where fastener longevity is a code and performance concern.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial exterior work. Typical applications include deck surface installation, fence board attachment, exterior storage cabinet assembly, and wood-framed outdoor structures. The ACQ-rated coating makes it a practical choice anywhere pressure-treated lumber is specified, which covers a wide range of outdoor framing and finish carpentry tasks. The 1-pound box format is standard for jobsite use and smaller repair or remodeling projects.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by carpenters, remodelers, and general contractors using a power drill or impact driver with the appropriate driver bit. Follow local building codes for fastener spacing and penetration depth on structural deck and fence assemblies. Pre-drilling may be required near board ends to prevent splitting, particularly in dense treated lumber. Always use fasteners rated for the specific preservative treatment of the lumber on the project.
