DeckWise ExtremeKD Ipe Clip Black Biscuit Style Hidden Deck Fastener Kit for Hardwoods (1050-Bucket)

EXTREME4 Ipe Clip brand hidden deck fasteners with a 1/4 in. gap provide installers a flawless, and fastener free deck surface. DIY Home Owners also get a quick/easy installation process. Made for attaching hardwood decking boards, the EXTREME4 offers an edge-mount system making them practically invisible. This unique design offers concealment among deck board gaps, camouflaging the fastener. These hidden deck fasteners are created using a tough, yet pliable polypropylene that further enhances its U.V. ray and chemical resilience. The Clip is factory-made with a black oxide stainless steel insert. The EXTREME4's injection molded insert is what allows it to keep deck boards extra secure for lasting hold-down. The EXTREME4 is tested to be up to 3 times stronger than other hidden fasteners. Deck boards are only secured on one side allowing the natural expansion and contraction of hard-wood decking. EXTREME4's are biscuit style fastener, which allows them to sit within the edge groove of grooved board. 5/32 in. edge grooves can be cut into decking boards by using either a router or biscuit joiner. Buting pre-grooved decking boards is also a suitable choice. To correctly attach a clip, a decking screw is inserted at a 45° angle through the fastener, screwing down into the bottom part of edge slot, and securely into the joist beneath. When repeatedly installing deck boards joined with the EXTREME4, the fastener's essential spacer leg will provide constant and even gap spacing.
