Itw Buildex 560156 Bugle Head Phillips Deck Screw No.8 3in 250pk

Product Description

The ITW BUILDEX 560156 is a No. 8 bugle head Phillips drive steel deck screw designed for fastening decking material to structural substrates. The bugle head profile seats flush without tearing the surface fiber, making it a standard choice for wood deck installations. Manufactured from C-1018 steel, this screw measures 3 inches in overall length and is driven with a No. 2 Phillips bit. Each package contains 250 screws, suited to production-pace decking work. Installers in residential and light commercial construction rely on this fastener for consistent, repeatable results across high-volume applications.

This deck screw is intended for wood-to-wood fastening in above-grade deck framing and surface board applications. The 3-inch length provides adequate penetration through standard 5/4-inch decking into joists below. The C-1018 steel construction makes it appropriate for pressure-treated lumber applications where structural fastening is required. It is typically installed by carpenters, general contractors, and deck builders working on residential and light commercial outdoor structures. The 250-count package quantity supports continuous workflow without frequent restocking interruption.
