Description

Painted Self-Drilling Stitch Screws 7/8” (100 pcs) Painted Stitch Screws – Color-Matched, Watertight Metal-to-Metal Fastening These Painted Hex Head Self-Drilling Stitch Screws are essential, specialized fasteners for securing overlapping metal panels in exterior applications. The short 7/8 inch length is perfectly designed for stitching two thin sheets of metal together securely. The Self-Drilling Tip eliminates the need for pre-drilling through the metal, greatly accelerating installation time. The screw features a Painted Hex Head that is color-matched to blend seamlessly with metal roofing and siding panels, providing a clean, finished aesthetic. The core protective feature is the integrated bonded neoprene washer, which compresses during driving to create a durable, watertight seal around the screw hole, effectively preventing leaks at the seam and inhibiting corrosion. Key Benefits Watertight Stitching: Bonded neoprene washer seals the overlap connection, preventing water ingress and rust. Self-Drilling Efficiency: Tek tip drills its own pilot hole through metal, accelerating installation (no pre-drilling). Color-Matched Aesthetic: Painted heads blend seamlessly with metal roofing/siding panels. Corrosion Resistance: Plated shank and painted head offer strong protection against exterior weather elements. Ideal Short Length: 7/8″ length is perfect for joining two thin metal sheets without excessive protrusion beneath.

High-volume, quick metal-to-metal fastening. Application Instructions Driving: Use a variable speed drill equipped with a correct size hex driver bit. Setting: Drive the screw straight through both metal layers. Tightening: Stop driving immediately when the neoprene washer is visibly compressed and sealed against the panel. Do not over-tighten or crush the neoprene. Safety: Wear safety glasses during installation. Pro Tips Always check the gauge of the metal; the Tek tip is designed for light-to-medium gauge steel. Do not over-tighten, as crushing the neoprene will cause the seal to fail prematurely. Clean off any metal shavings immediately after drilling to prevent rust spots on the panel. Ensure the color of the painted head matches the metal panel you are installing for a seamless aesthetic.
