COMPLETE INSTALLATION

HOW TO USE: CONCEALoc

FASTERNERS

WITH SQUARE SHOULDER BOARDS

HOW TO: INSTALL ON DIAGONAL

• When the deck is located in a corner

of the house, start with small

triangular piece of decking in the

corner and work your way out.

• Offset the center 1/2” towards the

long point of the joist, so screw will

not exit the side of the joist when

driven.

• Make two parallel cuts down the center of the board to be replaced, then remove the.

center piece.

• Using a small pry bar, remove the remaining pieces of decking from the tabs.

• Using a reciprocating saw, remove the tabs on the side of the board with the screw heads

showing.

• Position new board into place, and carefully drive onto remaining tabs.

• Once the board is set into position, secure the loose edges with Cortex, stainless

steel, or high-quality coated deck screws.

• Create a 2” long notch on the edge of

the board at every joist. Do not groove

the full length of square shouldered

deck boards.

• Use TimberTech’s CONCEALoc Groove

Cutting Router Bit or a Freud model

#56-112 or Bosch model #85610M

1/4” slot cutting bit.

• Flip the board over and start the

notch 3/8” off the bottom of the

board.

• Set the depth of the cut from 7/16” to

1/2”deep.

CONCEALoc

Hidden Fastener

ReliaBoard cannot be grooved. It must ONLY be face-fastened. Grooving ReliaBoard will void the warranty.

Do not use CONCEALoc Hidden Fasteners or L-Brackets for stair installations.

Note: Be sure to ID the side of the board that has the directional

notch; the boards with IDs should be installed to the same side. See

Directional Notch on page 5.
