One-Step Hidden Fastener Tool Instructions/CONTINUED

NOTE: See instructions included with Trex Hideaway Universal Hidden Fasteners for general rules including clean

cutting board ends, gapping rules, abutted board rules and installation of angled deck boards, as well as start clip

instructions, steps to take for large temperature shifts and installation of last deck board.

Installation Instructions

1. Place Hideaway hidden fastener into one-step tool.

There will be a slight click when fastener is engaged

properly. Screw will also be slightly at an angle when

engaged in one-step tool properly.

2. Center one-step tool (with fastener included) on

joist and push into groove of board.

3. Using bit included with one-step tool, install screw

as shown. Screw should be slightly countersunk into

fastener when installed correctly. Continue to install

fasteners on every joist. Do Not Overdrive Screw.

NOTE: Signs of overtightening would be the tool getting

stuck and unable to remove properly and/or signs that

the shaft of the bit is damaging the conical screw guide.

4. Install next board against installed hidden fasteners.

Some slight force (using a rubber mallet) to seat

next board against fasteners may be required.

NOTE: Construction methods are always improving. Please refer to www.trex.com for the most up-to-date installation requirements.
