Hillman Fasteners 47712 Gutter Screw No.7 X 0.5 in Box of 12

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 47712 is a No. 7 x 0.5 inch brown hex washer head slotted gutter self-piercing screw sold in a box of 12. These screws are engineered for direct fastening into gutter systems without the need for a pre-drilled pilot hole. The self-piercing point drives cleanly through standard gutter material, while the hex washer head with slotted drive provides solid engagement and a finished appearance. The brown finish blends with common gutter colorways used in residential construction and renovation work.

These gutter screws are suited for residential exterior fastening applications, primarily the attachment and repair of rain gutters and gutter components. They are a standard choice for roofing contractors, siding installers, and general contractors working on gutter installation or replacement projects. The compact 0.5 inch length is designed for thin-gauge gutter stock where a longer fastener would risk over-penetration or interference with adjacent materials.

Key Features

• Self-piercing point eliminates need for pilot holes in standard gutter material
• Hex washer head with slotted drive for reliable tool engagement
• Brown finish for low-visibility blend with common gutter colors
• No. 7 x 0.5 inch size suited for thin-gauge gutter stock

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement fastener for standard residential rain gutter systems requiring a No. 7 x 0.5 inch self-piercing screw with hex washer head.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by roofing or siding contractors using a hex-head driver bit or a slotted screwdriver. Power down or secure any electrical components in the work area before beginning gutter work at the roofline. Drive screws at consistent torque to seat the washer head flush without deforming the gutter material. Follow local building codes for fastener spacing and gutter attachment requirements.
