Midwest Fasteners Self-Drilling Painted Zinc-Plated Steel Hex Washer Head Gutter Screw

Midwest Fasteners Self-Drilling Painted Zinc-Plated Steel Hex Washer Head Gutter Screw

The Midwest Fasteners hex washer head gutter screw is a #8 x 1/2" self-drilling tapping screw built in zinc-plated steel, finished with a painted zinc-plated coating for a clean, corrosion-resistant look on exposed gutter and trim work. This family is offered in painted finishes available in Beige, Black, Brown, and White, letting installers match the fastener head color to the surrounding gutter or trim system without sacrificing the corrosion protection of the underlying zinc-plated steel base. Every color option across the line shares the same #8 x 1/2" wire size, self-drilling connection type, and hex washer head configuration — the painted finish color is the only thing that changes. The wide-bearing hex washer head and integrated drilling point let installers fasten gutter hangers, trim, and light-gauge sheet metal without a separate pilot hole.
