The FastenMaster Collated Cortex Hidden Fastening System for PVC Trim is the fastest, easiest way to hide trim fasteners in PVC Trim. Features TORX ttap Drive System which is almost impossible to strip-out and the deck fastener is easily removed. The stability button keeps the fastener straight through installation.Cortex plugs are made with the same material as leading trim boards, meaning you can achieve a perfect seamless finish every time. Once installed, Cortex plugs become a part of your trim board, expanding and contracting along with the boards around them - this means your plugs will not need to be replaced for the lifetime of the project. The plugs come pre-aligned on a collated strip, eliminating the need to fumble around with loose plugs and making installation 50% faster.To install, simply drive the Cortex fastener using the included setting tool - this will countersink the screw to the perfect depth. Then, place your Cortex plugs on top of the fastener holes with the grains aligned, and tap to finish.Designed to fasten 50 lineal feet of Veranda Smooth Trim. Includes 75, 2 inch carbon steel Cortex trim screws, 80 collated Cortex plugs and 1 Cortex setting tool.Cortex is trusted by PROs everywhere who are dedicated to craftsmanship and quality.

The Cortex Fastening System for Veranda Trim includes 75 screws, 80 collated plugs and 1 setting tool.
This specific Cortex product is for Azek trim. Fasten Master makes a Cortex system specifically for the Trex fascia board 1"x12"x12" (which is really .56" thick). The Cortex for Trex fascia screws and plugs are different than the ones for Azek. It is available in all the Trex fascia colors. Please ask your local Home Depot associate or contact Fasten Master at 800-518-3569 if you have any further questions.
Thank you for pointing out this inaccuracy. This appears to be an error on the website and we are working to have this corrected. Our Cortex kits are made from the deck or trim boards themselves, so the plugs are an exact match and will wear and weather the same. The color "tan" would be an exact match for that specific trim board. Please give us a call at 800-518-3569 and ask for Customer Service, if you should have any additional questions.
Yes, the Azek Trim collections are exterior screws.
The minimum thickness for the Cortex is 5/8" so this would be too thin. In some cases we have a Cortex Fascia kit designed for thinner fascia materials. It comes with a boring tool, wider headed screw and plug. Unfortunately, this is not available in Veranda.
Please contact us if you have run out of plugs. We will gladly send you more plugs at no charge with a proof of purchase for this product. Reach out to us at 800-518-3569.
Thank you for your question. The above plugs are smooth.
