Midwest Fasteners Painted Zinc Plated Steel Slotted Hex Washer Head Tapping Gutter Screw

Midwest Fasteners Painted Zinc Plated Steel Slotted Hex Washer Head Tapping Gutter Screw

The Midwest Fasteners Painted Zinc Plated Steel Slotted Hex Washer Head Tapping Gutter Screw is built for fastening gutters, downspouts, and light-gauge sheet metal where a weather-resistant, color-matched finish matters. This gutter screw family is available in two shank sizes, #7 x 1/2" and #8 x 1/2", and in four painted finish colors — Beige, Black, Brown, and White — so installers can match the screw to the gutter or trim color on the job. Every size and color option shares the same core construction: a steel body with a zinc plated coating underneath the paint for corrosion resistance, finished with a painted topcoat for a clean, blended appearance on exposed gutter runs. The slotted hex washer head gives installers a low-profile, wide-bearing surface that seats flush and spreads clamping load across thin gutter stock without over-driving.
