Hillman Fasteners 117917 Roofing Screw 10x1.5 in Antique Brown

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 117917 is a No. 10 x 1.5-inch self-drilling metal-to-wood roofing screw with an antique brown powder-coat finish and an integrated EPDM rubber-sealed washer. Designed for fastening steel roofing panels directly to wood substrates, this screw features a hex washer head (HWH) with a V-neck design that adds clamping strength and resists head pop-out. The coating system applies 2.5 mils of powder with a chromate sealer over the painted head for enhanced corrosion resistance. A Pro-Stick bit is included in each package. Licensed plumbers, carpenters, and metal roofing contractors rely on this fastener for demanding post-frame and residential roof assemblies.

This screw is built for post-frame construction where steel roofing is attached to wood purlins, and for residential applications where steel roofing is fastened to plywood or OSB decking. The thread design transitions from fine to coarse along the shank, generating superior holding strength in a range of wood substrates. The micro-bit point reduces metal shavings that could embed in the EPDM rubber washer, keeping the seal intact. Available in a 5-box unit pack, this product is well suited for contractors purchasing in volume for larger roofing projects.

Key Features

• Self-drilling micro-bit point starts fast, finishes straight, and minimizes metal shavings near the EPDM washer
• EPDM rubber vulcanized to a steel washer forms a weathertight seal even when driven at a slight angle
• HWH with V-neck design adds shear strength and prevents head pop-out under thermal movement
• Thread profile transitions from fine to coarse for superior holding in wood purlins, plywood, and OSB
• 2.5 mils of powder coat with chromate sealer delivers enhanced corrosion resistance on head and shank
• Pro-Stick bit included for consistent drive depth and reduced cam-out

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style roofing fastener for attaching steel roofing panels to wood purlins in post-frame construction, and to plywood or OSB decking in residential construction.

Installation Notes

Metal roofing contractors and carpenters install these screws using a variable-speed drill or impact driver set to a controlled clutch depth to avoid over-driving and compressing the EPDM washer. Always drive screws perpendicular to the roofing panel where possible; the EPDM seal accommodates minor angular deviation but should not be routinely skewed. Follow applicable building code requirements for fastener spacing and pullout load in your jurisdiction. Use the included Pro-Stick bit to maintain consistent seating depth across the field of the roof.
