At 2.5 inches overall length, it features a Type 17 cutting point that bores into wood fibers cleanly without pre-drilling, reducing splitting in hardwoods and dense composite decking materials. Constructed from Grade 305 stainless steel, this screw resists rust and staining in wet, coastal, and high-humidity environments. The flat head profile sits flush with the decking surface for a clean finished appearance. Typically installed by carpenters, deck builders, and general contractors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis deck screw is suited for residential and light commercial wood decking, deck framing, and exterior wood construction projects. The square drive recess provides positive bit engagement and reduces cam-out during installation, making it well-suited for high-volume fastening with a standard square No. 2 bit. The Type 17 point is particularly effective in pressure-treated lumber and hardwood decking where pilot holes are not practical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrade 305 stainless steel construction for corrosion and rust resistance in exterior environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eType 17 cutting point reduces splitting and eliminates need for pre-drilling in most wood decking\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSquare drive recess minimizes cam-out and improves bit engagement for high-volume installs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlat head profile sits flush with decking surface for a clean, finished look\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo. 8 thread size suitable for standard deck board fastening applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2.5 inch overall length provides adequate penetration and holding strength in typical deck assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose exterior deck fastener compatible with standard wood decking, pressure-treated lumber, and similar exterior wood construction materials requiring a No. 8 flat head square drive screw.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fastener is installed by carpenters, deck builders, and general contractors using a standard square No. 2 drive bit. While the Type 17 point is self-starting in most wood species, pilot holes may be advisable near board ends to prevent splitting in dense hardwoods. Follow applicable building codes for fastener spacing and penetration depth in deck framing. Use stainless steel-compatible drill bits and drivers to avoid contaminating the screw surface with carbon steel deposits that can cause staining.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: No. 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Grade 305 Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Type 17\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flat Head\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Square Drive\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: R55000208\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51720464466226,"sku":"R55000208","price":7508.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/e801a68267d4ccd68e25b7615b286e86.jpg?v=1788564416","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-r55000208-deck-screw-no-8-stainless","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
