The HILLMAN 47701 is a self-piercing pole barn screw designed to fasten thin sheet metal to wood, fiberglass, or metal substrates. The needle point tip drives without pre-drilling, and the hex washer head accepts standard hex drivers for fast installation. Each screw includes an attached steel-backed neoprene washer that compresses on seating to form a weathertight seal. The ceramic finish provides corrosion resistance and is approved for use with treated lumber, making this screw a reliable choice for metal roofing, siding, and pole barn construction. Sold in a 135-count box weighing approximately 1 pound.
These screws are suited for residential and light commercial applications where sheet metal panels meet wood framing or purlins. Common install scenarios include metal roofing over wood decking or nailers, steel siding on wood-framed pole barns, and fiberglass panel attachment. The self-piercing needle point eliminates the need for pre-drilled pilot holes in light-gauge sheet metal, reducing installation time on large panel runs. Licensed contractors and experienced framers typically specify this fastener for agricultural buildings, equipment shelters, and post-frame construction.
Designed for fastening thin sheet metal, fiberglass, or metal panels to wood framing. Ceramic finish makes these screws compatible with pressure-treated lumber applications.
Installation is typically performed by framers, roofers, or general contractors using a hex-head screw gun or impact driver set to a controlled clutch setting to avoid over-driving and compressing the neoprene washer beyond its seating point. Drive screws perpendicular to the panel surface to ensure the washer seats flat and seals correctly. Follow local building codes and panel manufacturer guidelines for fastener spacing and edge distances on metal roofing and siding applications.
