Videos are provided as a guide only. Refer to manufacturer installation instructions and specs for complete information.
Today, we're going to review the two and a quarter inch long Torx trailer floor and wall liner screw for the ACQ treated wood. These Torx flathead screws make securing a wood floor to your trailer very quick and easy and economical. This screw, in particular, has the type F point, which is designed for securing your wood floor that have the gauge sheet metal. This screw is also specifically designed for use on the ACQ wood, which is Alkaline Copper Quaternary wood. Now, because this ACQ treated wood is very corrosive, these screws have been made with an approved plating material that is less expensive than using stainless steel screws and has been shown to outperform the galvanized screws. If you noticed it has the tapered flathead, which will sit flush with the surface after they're installed. Few specs on this, the size Torx on this is T30.
The diameter of this is one quarter inch in diameter. The length, I'm going to measure for you, is going to be right at two and a quarter inches long. We have mentioned it has the type F point, which is a blunt tip, but if you see as I rotate, it has multiple cutting surfaces. When you do install this, you do need to require or it does require drilling a pilot hole of 7/32 to install these. That should do it for the review of the two and a quarter inch long Torx trailer floor and wall liner screw for the ACQ treated wood.

Solid product.
I had the same experience everyone else seemed to...only screw that broke off, the pilot hole had issues and drill bit had broken off in. I thought the screw could push the bit on through. It did not. The rest went into the angle iron on my trailer like butter! I ended up going through 4-5 drill bits, but these screws were worth the money!
Screws worked very good for fastening new 2x8 PT boards on my flatbed trailer. Did have a few break but quickly found a little trick that worked great. After pilot drilling the holes shoot a squirt of white lithium grease down the hole in the board and screws go in like butter using a 1/2" drive impact wrench. Also make sure you have plenty of drill bits, I went through 4 to sink 165 screws.
All of the screws went in without bending, stripping or braking. I redecked a utility trailer with 2x8's. The frame cross-braces were 3/16 angle steel. I highly recommend getting a few cobalt 7/32 drill bits, either pilot point or split point. Don't try to use regular drill bits for the pilot holes. Even the cobalt bits will dull if you don't use cutting oil between holes (I used bar oil). Also, try to place your pilot holes where there is only one layer of metal. I broke a bit in one of those spots that is now a permanent part of my trailer. Other than that, just make sure you use a good quality T30 bit and an impact driver. Great product.
I am in the process of repainting and putting a new deck on my car hauler. I ordered the floor screws for treated lumber even though I'm using white oak. They should last a long time. The Aero Pro LED light kit and LED light bar will be a nice upgrade that I have been considering for a long time. The 7" long white/11" long red conspicuity reflective tape strips are a perfect replacement for the strips that were on it since new. etrailer has excellent products at very fair prices. It is very convenient to find everything you need at one sight and order anytime of the day or night. If you have questions, they have people that can answer them. Great Company.
Must pre-drill these deck fasteners! They worked perfectly on my trailer
Awesome, just what I needed for the job for treated lumber trailer bed.
This product worked perfectly. I did not break or strip any of the screws. I did dip the tip in oil to get some lubrication.
These screws were perfect for my trailer repair! I am very pleased with the product, the directions, and the new and improved look of my trailer. I would highly recommend this product to anyone!

I ment 5 star
Worked great! Drilled in 200 of these screws and only 1 broke. The one that broke was justified as I was going through 2 layers of 10ga steel on that one spot. The second one I tried went in fine. Shipped fast and worked as promised.
My recommendations to use this easily: Drill 7/32" pilot holes with a cobalt bit and have a lot of bits on hand if you plan to drill a lot of holes. Also, use a T30 screw bit and if you have one, an impact driver is recommended. Boards are now sitting secured and tight to the frame. Very pleased and much easier than carriage bolts.

After 1 year, all the screws are still holding strong and none have backed out, corroded, or broke. Still very Happy!
Quite easy to install. Holding up very well on the trailer they were installed on after a year in the elements
Replaced the wood deck on my trailer. It works out great when you can use the proper screw to do the job. was an easy project and securing down the 2" x 6" wood decking to the metal frame of my trailer.

Great Holding up even in the Hot weather here
These screws were perfect for replacing the treated wood floor of my utility trailer. They screwed directly back into the same holes that were made when the last floor was installed. Etrailer made the purchase process easy, and shipping was quick.

It is still working FANTASTIC. Would HIGHLY recommend these to anyone that is replacing the wood on their trailer floor.
This is the second time I've purchased this product, and both times it's stood up to the test. Shipping was incredibly quick also. I use these screws to repair an outdoor city balcony deck, which is mounted to a solid steel frame.
The key is to ensure the pilot hole is completely drilled, and the screws go into the steel like butter afterwards. I only broke one screw head and stripped 2 others out of 100, and this was because my pilot hole was not as clear as it should have been.
Great service for Trailer parts.
The deck screws arrived in perfect condition.
Price couldn't be beat, hard to find part.
Perfect for re-decking my home built trailer.
I'll shop your store again...
Thx
I was very happy with the product. They worked just as they should have. Made re-decking my trailer a breeze. Securing the deck boards at every cross member makes a world of difference in how long the deck lasts.
Just as described. Exactly what I needed. Till next time. Thank You
Screw worked perfectly to attached treated wood floor to a trailer, the torx head never slipped
Good products good prices. The bad is you ship by USPS. The product gets lost or takes too long to get to the shop and then I have angry customers. When USPS gets things right or you stop using USPS then I will continue buying from you. i’m sorry I cannot take the delays it’s bad for my business.
