Hillman Fasteners 116149 Self Drilling Wood to Metal Screw 30ct

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 116149 is a flat head, winged self-drilling screw designed for fastening wood to metal without pre-drilling. Sized at 12-24 x 2.75 inches and manufactured to 11 gauge, this screw features a self-drilling tip that quickly penetrates metal up to 1/8 inch thick. The star drive interface, combined with the included Pro-Stick bit, reduces cam-out and increases stability during installation. Sold in a 30-count box, this fastener is suited for framing, sheathing, and structural attachment applications where wood members meet metal substrates.

This screw is used in light commercial and residential construction where wood-to-metal connections are required, such as attaching wood framing to metal tracks or structural steel components. The winged design helps control the countersinking action through wood before the wings break off against the metal surface, allowing the flat head to sit flush. Licensed contractors and experienced framers working with light-gauge steel framing systems will find this fastener appropriate for repeated production use.

Key Features

• Self-drilling tip eliminates pre-drilling through metal up to 1/8 inch
• Winged flat head design promotes flush seating through wood into metal
• Star drive recess with Pro-Stick bit reduces cam-out and improves drive control
• 11 gauge construction for consistent thread engagement and shear resistance
• 12-24 thread size at 2.75 inches length suits standard wood-to-metal framing thickness
• 30-count box packaging supports job-site use and inventory tracking

Compatibility

Designed for wood-to-metal fastening applications where metal substrate thickness does not exceed 1/8 inch, consistent with light-gauge steel framing used in residential and light commercial construction.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by carpenters, framers, or general contractors working with light-gauge steel framing systems. Use the included star drive Pro-Stick bit or a compatible star drive bit at controlled torque to avoid overdriving and stripping the recess. No pre-drilling is required in metal up to 1/8 inch thick. Ensure the work piece is secured before driving to prevent material movement and maintain flush seating of the flat head.
