The Cortex Concealed Fastening System is the fastest, easiest way to conceal
the heads
of your deck screws on market-leading deck board types. Set the screw, set the
plug, and
you’re all set. Cortex offers a strong connection between the deck board and the
joist and
can conceal fasteners across the entire deck: first and last board, perimeter,
and stairs

Recommended Drills:

Cordless drill with 1/2" chuck and 18V battery
Impact drill
Installation:
1) Using one of the drills and
the Cortex setting tool, drive the Cortex fastener to the
preset level below the deck surface.
NOTE: Continuously drive the
fastener at one speed until the setting tool
disengages on its own. Do not stop and start the drive as this may affect the
finished
appearance. It is important that the Cortex screw is driven perpendicular to the
deck, with
two screws per joist. The setting of the Cortex screw creates a cored hole in
the deck
surface.
2) Place the Cortex engineered
plug into the hole with the deck surface side up. 3)
Gently tap the plug into the cored hole until the plug is flush with the deck
surface.
