FastenMaster Introduces ZIP Hidden Fastening System at IBS
FastenMaster introduced the Zip Hidden Fastening System at the International Builders’s Show.

| The Zip system from FastenMaster is comprised of three integrated components: ZipClip, the Gapper, and the ZipStick. |
It is described as the first concealed fastening solution engineered to deliver precision accuracy without sacrificing speed.
The Zip system is comprised of three integrated components: ZipClip, the Gapper, and the ZipStick, each designed to simplify installation and improve jobsite efficiency.
Unlike many traditional hidden fastening systems that require time-consuming and frustrating alignment and adjustment, the Zip system optimizes the installation for uniform board spacing and get contractors off the jobsite faster.
“Contractors told us they wanted a hidden fastening system that was faster, easier to use, and delivered perfect results every time,” said Anthony DiSanto, director of decking for FastenMaster. “The Zip Hidden Fastening System was designed with pro input from day one.”
He said the system simplifies the process, helps to speed up installation and can deliver consistent spacing and premium finish that customers want and expect.
Gapper: A deck board spacing tool used to gap multiple boards at the same time for consistent uniform gapping without jacking or damaging the boards.
ZipClip: An integrated clip and fastener that locks down grooved deck boards when installed. ZipClips are inserted between deck boards and when the fastener is installed into the joist, the clip rotates 90 degrees into the groove to lock the board in place with perfect spacing.
ZipStick: A stand-up cordless drill attachment used to install the ZipClips. ZipStick is compatible with all variable speed drills and provides users with the option to stand and drive ZipClips.
The Zip Hidden Fastening System is compatible with leading grooved composite and PVC decking boards, including Trex, Dekorators, Fiberon, and more.
ZipClips are available in bucket quantities for 100-, 300-, and 500-square-foot decks. Gapper tools are available in convenient two-packs, with four additional spacers per pack. ZipStick tools are sold individually with a driver bit included.
All Zip Hidden Fastening System components come with FastenMaster’s Lifetime Performance Guarantee.
