Hillman Fasteners 117948 Osb Roofing Screw 12/14 X 1.5 in

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 117948 is a clear-coated OSB roofing screw engineered specifically for attaching metal roofing panels to oriented strand board (OSB) substrates. Sized at 12/14 x 1.5 inches, it features wider, aggressive thread geometry designed to grip OSB more effectively than standard roof screws. The screw is finished with ST powder coating technology for corrosion resistance. It is sold in a box quantity of 5 and is suited for installation by roofing contractors and general builders working on light commercial or residential structures with metal roofs over OSB decking.

This fastener targets backyard shed construction and similar light-structure applications where metal roofing panels are secured directly to an OSB substrate. The wider thread profile increases pullout and pull-through resistance compared to conventional roof screws commonly available in the marketplace. The clear ST powder coating helps protect the fastener in outdoor roofing environments. Installers working on prefabricated or site-built shed structures with corrugated or ribbed metal panels will find this screw sized appropriately for typical OSB deck thicknesses used in those builds.

Installation Notes

This fastener is typically installed by roofing contractors or carpenters using a hex-head screw gun or drill driver set to a controlled torque clutch to avoid overdriving into OSB. Ensure the OSB substrate is structurally sound and free of delamination before fastening. Follow applicable building code requirements for fastener spacing and edge distance when securing metal roofing panels. Wear appropriate PPE when working at height on roof surfaces.
