Ensure the system is not used with Trex Enhance® decking or any Trex fascia product. Specific plug-based systems and installation videos are available for those products.
Pre-drill the deck board at a 90-degree angle using a 1/8” drill bit if screws are to be installed closer than 1” from a board end or edge.
Use two screws per joist or stair stringer, driving them at a 90-degree angle using the Trex decking depth setter tool. Ensure a continuous motion until the depth setter fully seats the screw to the design depth for the plug.
Clean the hole of any debris or water, then center the plug over the hole and align the grain with the board. Press the plug into the hole and tap it flush with a smooth-face hammer for a professional finish.
