Fasten Master Collated Cortex for Trex Transcend with 2-1/2' Screws for 100 LF

Introducing the FastenMaster Collated Cortex System for Trex Decking - 100 Linear Feet, an innovative solution designed to streamline the installation process of Trex Deck Boards. This system not only simplifies the task of concealing fasteners and screw heads but now operates at an impressive 50% faster rate.

One of the key advancements is the availability of FastenMaster Cortex plugs on a collated strip. This feature significantly reduces handling time and boosts efficiency on the job site. The fasteners not only provide exceptional holding strength but effectively conceal all fasteners across the entire deck, encompassing first and last boards, breaker boards, perimeters, and stairs.

With the application of the TORX ttap Drive System, the design virtually eliminates the risk of stripping out the fasteners, while also allowing for easy removal when necessary. An integrated stability button ensures that fasteners remain straight throughout the installation, contributing to a neat and professional finish.

The fastener setting tool included in the system is of industrial-grade quality, capable of installing up to 350 fasteners on a single Cortex setting tool. Users will find the Cortex system user-friendly, as it comes complete with everything required for installation, including screws, plugs, and the necessary setting tools. For optimal performance, FastenMaster recommends the use of an 18-volt cordless drill. However, it’s essential to note that impact drivers should not be employed on composite deck boards, with or without a capstock.

In the majority of jobs, pre-drilling is unnecessary. Nevertheless, when fastening within 1/2 inch of a board’s end or at mitered joints, pre-drilling is required for the best results. A 3/16-inch drill bit should be utilized for these pilot holes.

Compatible with Trex Transcend decking, the plugs are crafted from the same Trex deck boards, ensuring that the color and texture are perfectly matched for a seamless appearance.

In summary, the FastenMaster Collated Cortex for Trex Decking offers a remarkable solution for anyone looking to enhance their deck installation experience. By minimizing handling time and ensuring a strong connection between deck boards and joists, this system not only saves time but also enhances the visual appeal of the deck.

The package includes 224 screws, 300 plugs, and 2 setting tools, equipping you with all the components needed for a high-quality deck installation. Whether you are a professional contractor or a DIY enthusiast, the FastenMaster Collated Cortex system ensures that your decking project is efficient, effective, and aesthetically pleasing.
