Stainless Steel Phillips Modified Truss Head Self Drilling Screws
What are Phillips modified truss head self drilling screws? Phillips modified truss head self drilling screws are stainless screws with an extra-wide truss head, a Phillips drive, and a drill-point tip that bores its own hole in metal, spreading load over a large footprint. Made from hardened 410 stainless, they resist rust and hold in thin or soft material without pulling through.
When you need maximum bearing on thin material
The modified truss head is even wider than a standard truss head, giving the largest practical bearing surface to resist pull-through in thin sheet, soft panels, and oversized holes. Combined with a self drilling point, it fastens lath, mesh, and thin panels to metal fast without pre-drilling. The broad low head also covers slotted and enlarged holes. 410 stainless provides the hardness to drill along with strong corrosion resistance for outdoor use.
Why choose Phillips modified truss head self drilling screws
- Maximum bearing: extra-wide head resists pull-through in thin material.
- No pilot needed: the drill point bores its own hole in metal.
- 410 stainless: hard enough to drill with strong corrosion resistance.
- Covers openings: broad head spans slotted and oversized holes.
Common applications for Phillips modified truss head self drilling screws
- Lath, mesh, and thin panels to metal
- Soft or thin sheet needing wide bearing
- Slotted and oversized holes
- Outdoor metal work

Phillips Modified Truss Head Self Drilling Screws FAQ
What stainless grade are these?
They are hardened 410 stainless, hard enough to drill metal while resisting corrosion far better than plated steel.
How is a modified truss head different from a truss head?
A modified truss head is wider still, giving even more bearing surface to resist pull-through in very thin or soft material.
What are these commonly used for?
They are popular for fastening lath, mesh, and thin panels to metal framing where the wide head prevents pull-through.
