Hillman Fasteners 47281 Zinc Lath Screw 1 Inch 8 Box of 12

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 47281 is a zinc-coated truss head lath screw with a self-piercing point, designed for fastening metal lath and similar substrates in construction and remodeling applications. Measuring 1 inch in length and sized at number 8, this screw features a low-profile truss head that distributes load across the surface and a self-piercing tip that eliminates the need for pre-drilling through metal lath. The zinc coating provides basic corrosion resistance for interior applications. Sold in a box of 12, this SKU is suited for contractors and trade professionals who need a reliable, purpose-built lath fastener.

This lath screw is used in residential and light commercial construction where metal lath is applied as a substrate for plaster, stucco base coat, or similar finish systems. It is a standard choice for plastering contractors, drywall mechanics, and general construction crews attaching metal lath to steel framing or other compatible base materials. The self-piercing point speeds up installation and reduces labor on repetitive fastening tasks.
