Using a Trex router bit with standard router. 1. Rout from bottom side of board. 2. Rout the entire length of the board, or at every intersection where board is over support joists.
If installing in locations prone to large temperature shifts within a 24-hour period, and installing Trex Universal Hidden Fasteners, predill and toenail a screw (use same screw used in hidden fasteners) at an angle in groove at both ends (at least 1" (25mm) from board end) and center of each board.
The bit supplied with the Trex Universal Fasteners and the One Step Tool are the same bit, and both are compatible with the tool. Turned down T10 bits from other manufacturers will also work, but please ensure the turned down portion (the narrow nose) is at least 1-1/2" long. Using an inappropri- ate bit will not allow fasteners to seat correctly and could damage the tool. Bit is conveniently located on the underside of the one-step tool. For replacement Trex® bits please visit shop.trex.com.
To Ensure an appealing mix of color tones, mix and match all boards prior to installation.
