Value Collection R55000200 Deck Screw No. 8 1 Inch

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R55000200 is a No. 8 flat head, square drive stainless steel deck screw designed for fastening wood decking and exterior framing assemblies. At 1 inch overall length, this screw features a Type 17 point for self-starting penetration into wood without pre-drilling in most applications. Manufactured from Grade 305 stainless steel, it offers solid corrosion resistance for outdoor and moisture-exposed installations. The flat head profile sits flush with the decking surface, and the square drive recess provides positive bit engagement and reduced cam-out during installation. Suitable for use by carpenters, deck builders, and general contractors working on residential and light commercial projects.

This deck screw is intended for exterior wood fastening applications including deck boards, wood railings, fencing, and similar outdoor structures where corrosion resistance is required. The Grade 305 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for use in coastal and high-humidity environments where standard steel fasteners would corrode prematurely. The Type 17 auger point is optimized for softwood and composite lumber decking assemblies.

Key Features

• Grade 305 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in exterior and coastal environments
• Type 17 self-starting point reduces the need for pre-drilling in most softwood applications
• Flat head profile sits flush with decking surface for a clean finished appearance
• Square drive recess minimizes cam-out during power fastening
• No. 8 thread size suitable for standard deck board fastening applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose exterior wood fastener compatible with standard softwood and composite decking materials requiring a No. 8 flat head square drive screw with a 1 inch overall length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by carpenters and deck builders using a square drive bit in a power drill or impact driver. Always pre-drill near board ends to prevent wood splitting. Ensure fastener length and thread size are appropriate for the decking material thickness before installation. Follow local building codes regarding fastener spacing and corrosion resistance requirements for exterior structural assemblies.
