5/16 in Hex Head 12G Metal-to-Wood Roofing Screw

Description

Hex Head Self-Drilling Roofing Screw Metal-to-Wood 12g Hex Head Roofing Screw – Watertight Seal and High Strength for Metal to Wood Fastening This 12 Gauge Hex Head Self-Drilling Roofing Screw is an essential, specialized fastener for securing metal panels to wooden structures. The 12 Gauge diameter provides superior strength and high pull-out resistance, vital for high-wind and heavy-load applications. The key feature is the Hex Head with an integrated bonded neoprene washer. As the screw is driven, the neoprene compresses against the metal panel, creating a reliable, watertight seal around the fastener hole, effectively preventing leaks and inhibiting corrosion beneath the screw head. The sharp, self-drilling point and aggressive coarse thread are optimized for fast penetration through the metal and secure, high-strength tapping into the wood framing beneath. Key Benefits Watertight Seal: Bonded neoprene washer compresses to seal the screw hole, preventing water ingress and rust. Heavy-Duty 12 Gauge: Offers maximum pull-out strength and resistance to shear forces in exterior applications. Self-Drilling/Tapping: Sharp point allows for fast penetration through metal and secure tapping directly into wood without pre-drilling. Corrosion Resistance: Plated finish protects the steel from exterior elements, enhancing longevity. Easy Driving: Hex head design allows for high-torque driving using standard hex socket drivers. Technical Specifications Product Type: Hex Head Self-Drilling Roofing Screw (Metal-to-Wood) Diameter: 12 Gauge (12g) Head Type: Hex Head with Bonded Washer (Metal + Neoprene) Thread Type: Coarse Thread (for Wood Framing) Point Type: Sharp Self-Drilling/Self-Tapping Finish: Plated Steel (Corrosion Resistant) Grade: Construction/Exterior Roofing Perfect For Installing metal roofing on residential, commercial, or agricultural buildings. Fastening metal siding or cladding panels to wooden walls and frames. Applications requiring a guaranteed watertight seal at the fastening point. General outdoor metal-to-wood construction. Application Instructions Driving: Use a variable speed drill equipped with a ⁵⁄₁₆” hex driver bit (socket). Setting: Drive the screw straight through the metal panel and into the wood purlin/framing. Tightening: Stop driving when the neoprene washer is visibly compressed and sealed against the metal panel. Do not over-tighten or crush the neoprene. Safety: Wear safety glasses during installation. Pro Tips Always drive the screw perpendicular to the panel to ensure the washer seats correctly and prevents leaks. For the longest service life, avoid crushing the neoprene washer, as this will lead to premature failure of the seal. Check the overall screw length to ensure adequate penetration into the wood framing (minimum 1 inch). Use the correct size hex driver bit to prevent stripping the head.
