Gray Trim Head Square Ss Deck Screws , 304 Stainless Deck Screws #8 X 2-1/2"

1. Descriptions:

      Stainless Steel deck screws offer the highest corrosion resistance, better holding power, and no cam-outs or stripping when installing. Unlike square drive fasteners, the star or Torx drive recess holds the insert bit more securely when applying torque.

     Ideal for Pressure-treated lumber and decking, Cedar, Redwood, composite decking and a variety of other wood-to-wood applications.

       Similar type square drive screws do not compare in performance to the star recess of Deck screws. The square drive recess tapers into the screw head which causes cam-out or stripping when driving into dense materials. The star drive (Torx) recess goes straight into the screw head at 90 degrees preventing any slipping or cam-out when driving into dense materials.

       Deck  screws feature a self-tapping type 17 point for effortless entry into most materials. Wide coarse threads are designed to bite into wood for maximum holding power. Deck screws are also available in long lengths such as 3 inch, 3-1/2 inch, and 4 inch lengths.

316 Grade Stainless Steel offers the highest corrosion resistance available for construction fasteners. It is usually regarded as the standard "marine grade stainless steel."

304 Grade Stainless Steel is the standard "18-8" and is the most versatile and widely used stainless steel.

302 Grade Stainless Steel is not recommended for construction fasteners where corrosion resistance is required. This alloy contains a higher Carbon Steel content and is magnetic. This grade is commonly used for ball bearings, lashing wire, and industrial uses.

Stainless Steel alloys such as 410, 416, and 440 should never be used for exterior fastening applications when corrosion resistance is required.
