Coverage A fastener is needed at every intersection of a joist and decking board. When using 5.5” decking with 16” on center joists: Square footage x 1.75 = # Fasteners
Gapping TC-3S will automatically create a gap between each decking board slightly greater than 3/16”. With the use of spacers or shims, TC-3S can support gapping up to 5/16”.
Expansion & Contraction Fasteners are designed to allow decking to expand and contract naturally by sliding on the fastener prongs and still maintain hold down strength. From the point of installation, the TC-3S Fastener can handle expansion up to 1/8” and contraction up to 3/16
