DC50 Deck Clip
Deck & Fences
Connects deck boards to joists without face nails or screws. Eliminates rust
stains on decks, as well as splintering or wood rot caused by screw or nail
“craters”. The DC50-TZ works like tongue-in-groove ooring and is easy to
install. Raised dimples on the clip provide consistent spacing between
deck boards.
Materials: 20 gauge
Finish: G-185 galvanizing
Codes: See page 11 for Code Reference Chart
Installation:
• Use all specied fasteners. See Product Notes, page 17.
• Fits 1-1/8" or thicker decking.
• Fasten the rst deck board onto the joists by toenailing up through the joist
below into the deck board. Be sure no sharp points protrude above the deck
surface. For subsequent deck board rows, nail DC50-TZ's onto the deck
board edge, positioned 2" from each joist. Slide the deck board along
the joist until the DC50-TZ “lip” is under the previously laid deck board.
Toenail the deck board’s exposed edge to the joist. Repeat until decking
is completed. The last deck board will require toenailing up from below to
secure the outside edge.
ML angles are multi-purpose angles that install easily with USP’s
WS15 wood screws. The staggered fastener pattern allows for
back-to-back installations.

Codes: See page 11 for Code Reference Chart
