The #12 TuffGrip™ screws are great for attaching sheet metal roofing and siding to wood surfaces like OSB sheathing. These screws feature a strong #12 shank and coarse threads with Strip-Loc technology for better grip and resistance in OSB.
The #12 diameter shank refers to the thickness of the screw. The larger diameter of the #12 shank provides excellent pull-out strength. This makes these screws ideal for fastening metal roofing and siding to OSB sheathing and other wood substrates.
Aggressive coarse threads on screws have threads that space further apart and are deeper than standard threads. Designers created these threads to offer a strong grip and secure hold when fastening materials together. The #12 TuffGrip™ screws have strong threads and Strip-Loc technology for a secure grip on OSB sheathing. This makes them resistant to pulling out and gives them strong holding strength.
The Type 17 point on #12 TuffGrip™ Mechanical Galvanized Roofing Screws refers to a specific type of screw tip design. The Type 17 screw has a sharp point and notched cutting edge making it easy to penetrate wood without pre-drilling. The Type 17 point removes dust and dirt as it installs, like a drill bit, with its grooves. This design eases installation by preventing wood splitting and enabling quick driving of screws into the material.
The red painted hex head and washer create an attractive, bold appearance. A 1/4" hex drive works with standard driver bits for convenient installation. The mechanical galvanized coating provides reliable corrosion resistance.
A full cover non-bonded washer seals effectively against the elements, providing durability and protection for various applications. It forms a tight seal between the screw, the metal roof panels, and the oriented strand board OSB, preventing leaks and rust. The #12 TuffGrip™ Mechanical Galvanized Roofing Screws have a washer that stops water from getting into the screw hole. This protects the roof or siding from damage caused by moisture.
People use these screws for different purposes. They can attach metal roofing, metal siding, corrugated roofing, and more to OSB and other wood surfaces. They provide comparable performance to other leading OSB screws and metal to wood roofing and siding screws.
