(2) PVC/Composite Tool: This unique patented tool drives screws to the correct depth below the surface. It features a No Cam-Out Auto-Stop™ mechanism that prevents the screw from stripping and a free spinning stop collar that protects the board.
(3) Plugs: Made from actual PVC/Composite deck or trim material, so they match perfectly.
Plugs and screws are now available in separate packs with our Inventory Management Program. This program offers lumberyards the ability to carry a wider range of plug fastening options, while keeping inventory and shelf space to a minimum.

Product Features
PVC/Composite Tool
Auto-Stop™ Mechanism
Once target depth is reached, the Auto-Stop™ mechanism inside the tool disengages the driver bit and stops the screw from driving further, preventing the screw recess from stripping.
Free Spinning Stop Collar
The free spinning stop collar is fitted with a rubber O-ring to prevent damage to the work surface .
Special bits for Deck and Trim Applications
Driver bits used with the PVC/Composite Tool are replaceable. There are two types of driver bits: DECK bits and TRIM bits, each optimized for their specific application. Both PVC Tool packages and PVC Deck/Trim Kits include spare bits.
Fasteners
Stainless and Epoxy Coated Star Drive Fasteners:
Epoxy Coated Carbon Steel, Grades 305 or 316 Stainless Steel screws are available in various lengths (from 2" - 3"). All screws feature a star drive recess and are ACQ approved. When driven below the surface with the PVC Tool, both fasteners create a perfect hole for the plug, without pre-drilling.
Plugs
Plugs
Plugs are made from actual deck and trim board material, so the color and grain match perfectly.

Instructions
1. Insert the appropriate driver bit into the Pro Plug® PVC/Composite Tool. The “DECK” bit is for PVC/Composite decking; the “TRIM” bit is for PVC trim.
2. Drive the screw with the PVC/Composite Tool in a straight and stable fashion with a standard drill.* The screw is set when the Auto-Stop™ mechanism engages fully. In most deck and trim materials, the tool makes a pop sound indicating that the screw has reached the correct depth below the board surface.
3. Insert the plug into the hole above the fastener and tap it into place with a smooth face steel hammer until it is flush with the deck/trim surface. Keep hammer head flat with the board to prevent surface marring.
Further instructions and installation notes are included in every PVC/Composite Deck or Trim Kit.
*Note: Impact drivers may not set screws to the correct depth. Standard drills are recommended.

Pro Plug System for PVC and Composite is available in the two main configurations, with a variety of plug and fastener options: Inventory Management Program with screws and plugs sold separately and in Full Kits with screws and plugs in a single pack.
