Value Collection R55000212 Deck Screw No. 10 Grade 305

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R55000212 is a No. 10 flat head, square drive stainless steel deck screw built for exterior fastening applications. At 2.5 inches overall length, it features a Type 17 cutting point that bores into wood fibers cleanly, reducing splitting on deck boards and other dimensional lumber. Manufactured from Grade 305 stainless steel, it delivers strong corrosion resistance in outdoor and moisture-exposed environments. The flat head profile sits flush with the surface after driving, and the square drive recess provides positive bit engagement and reduces cam-out during installation. These screws are sold in minimum quantities of 100.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial decking, fencing, and wood-framing applications where corrosion resistance is a requirement. The Type 17 point makes it well suited for hardwood and composite-adjacent lumber where pilot holes are not always practical. Installers working on coastal or high-humidity job sites commonly specify Grade 305 stainless fasteners to meet project durability requirements. Square drive bits are required for installation and are not included.

Key Features

• Grade 305 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in exterior applications
• Type 17 cutting point reduces wood splitting without a pilot hole
• Flat head profile seats flush with decking and board surfaces
• Square drive recess minimizes cam-out during high-torque driving
• No. 10 thread size suits standard deck board and framing lumber thickness
• 2.5-inch overall length provides pull-through holding strength in typical deck plank-to-joist fastening

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 10 flat head square drive deck screw suitable for use with dimensional lumber, pressure-treated wood, and standard decking materials in residential and light commercial construction.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by carpenters, deck builders, and general contractors using a square drive bit matched to the No. 10 drive recess. Pre-drilling is not required when using the Type 17 point, but may be advisable near board ends to prevent splitting. Follow applicable local building codes for fastener spacing and penetration depth on structural deck assemblies. Use only with compatible square drive bits to avoid damage to the drive recess.
