No. 8 In. X 1/2 In. L Hex Drive Truss Head Self Tapping Lath Screws

Teks lath screws are professional-grade self-tapping fasteners designed to streamline fastening operations in lath, metal stud framing, and general construction applications. These screws eliminate the need for pre-drilling, allowing you to drill, tap, and fasten in a single motion—saving time and reducing labor on roofing, HVAC, steel stud framing, gutter, and vent installation projects.

The sharp point penetrates light to heavy-gauge metal and wood with minimal force, even in thick gauge materials (20-Gauge to 12-Gauge). The truss head provides a wide, low-profile bearing surface ideal for applications where secure fastening matters. A zinc-plated steel finish protects your work's appearance. Whether you're securing metal lath to wood or steel studs for stucco and plaster applications, attaching pre-drilled metal brackets to framing, or tackling any general fastening task, these versatile screws deliver superior holding power without tool slippage or cam-out issues.
