Omg Inc FMGD158-350 Deck Screw 1-5/8 in Gold 350 Pack

Product Description

The OMG INC FMGD158-350 is a 350-count pack of 1-5/8 inch exterior deck screws designed for use with pressure-treated lumber, cedar, redwood, and copper azole or ACQ-treated wood. Each screw features a gold coating that resists corrosion in outdoor environments and blends visually with common treated lumber tones. The fastener uses a Pozisquare drive pattern, which reduces cam-out during installation compared to standard Phillips drives. A free Pozisquare driver bit is included with every bucket. The screws ship in a clear plastic bucket for easy job-site storage and counting. Deck installers, carpenters, and general contractors are the primary users of this product.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial deck construction, framing, and exterior wood fastening applications. The gold coating and chemical-resistant formulation make it appropriate for direct contact with ACQ treated lumber, copper azole treated lumber, cedar, and redwood without accelerated corrosion. The 1-5/8 inch length and No. 9 diameter are a common choice for fastening deck boards to joists and for other exterior structural wood connections where a mid-length screw is appropriate.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by carpenters, deck builders, or general contractors using a power drill or impact driver fitted with the included Pozisquare bit. Pre-drilling pilot holes in hardwoods such as cedar or redwood reduces splitting risk at board ends. Follow local building codes for fastener spacing and edge distance requirements on deck framing. Ensure the correct bit size is used to maintain full drive engagement and avoid stripping the Pozisquare recess.
