Value Collection R55000214 Deck Screw No.10 3in Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R55000214 is a No. 10 flat head, square drive stainless steel deck screw designed for outdoor and structural fastening applications. Built from Grade 305 stainless steel, this screw provides strong corrosion resistance in exposed environments including decking, fencing, and treated lumber installations. The Type 17 point is a self-tapping cutting tip that bores into wood fibers without splitting, eliminating the need for a pilot hole in most applications. At 3 inches overall length, it delivers adequate thread engagement for standard deck board and joist assemblies. Licensed trade professionals and experienced contractors rely on this fastener for code-compliant exterior construction work.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial exterior wood decking, composite-over-wood substructure applications, and general outdoor carpentry where corrosion resistance is required. The flat head profile sits flush with the deck surface after seating, which is standard practice for walking-surface applications. Square drive recess reduces cam-out during installation, improving drive consistency especially when using impact drivers at high repetition. Sold in minimum quantities of 100 per order.

Key Features

• Grade 305 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in outdoor and treated-lumber environments
• Type 17 self-tapping point cuts into wood without a pilot hole, reducing installation time
• Flat head profile seats flush with decking surface for clean, code-appropriate finish
• Square drive recess minimizes cam-out during power fastening
• No. 10 thread size with 3-inch overall length for standard deck board to joist attachment

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose OEM-style replacement or new-installation fastener for exterior wood decking, fencing, and structural lumber applications requiring a No. 10 flat head stainless steel screw with a Type 17 point.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by carpenters, general contractors, or licensed builders using a square drive bit and a corded or cordless drill or impact driver. Follow applicable building codes for fastener spacing and edge distances on decking assemblies. When fastening into pressure-treated lumber, confirm the stainless steel grade is compatible with the preservative treatment used, as some treatments accelerate corrosion in lower-grade alloys. Avoid overdriving, which can compromise the head seating and surface integrity of the deck board.
