Black Finish
A deep black coating helps the fastener coordinate with Alumission black powder-coated profiles and hardware.
These #8 × 1/2″ stainless steel pan-head self-drilling screws are a compact fastening solution for compatible Alumission aluminum fence and gate components. The #2 Phillips drive offers familiar tool compatibility, while the self-drilling point helps reduce separate pilot-hole steps when material and installation conditions permit.
Choose Black for a coordinated appearance with black powder-coated profiles or Stainless Steel for a natural silver finish. Both variations use stainless steel base material, include 100 screws, and are priced the same.
Select the same stainless steel screw in the finish that best suits the surrounding Alumission components.

The uncolored silver appearance highlights the stainless steel material and works well where a natural metal finish is preferred.
The low-profile 0.115″ pan head provides a broad 0.322″ bearing surface without the height of a hex-head fastener.
The integrated drill point is designed for compatible material thicknesses and can reduce separate drilling steps during assembly.
Included: One pack containing 100 #8 × 1/2″ stainless steel self-drilling screws in the selected Black or Stainless Steel finish.
Sold separately: Aluminum profiles, posts, slats, caps, covers, brackets, installation tools, and other project hardware.

Dimensions are in inches. Confirm the required fastener size, material thickness, and installation method for the specific Alumission component before installation.
Answers about finish selection, stainless steel material, dimensions, compatibility, installation, and package quantity.
Yes. Both Black and natural Stainless Steel variations use stainless steel base material. The difference is the visible finish.
Choose Black when you want the fastener to coordinate with black powder-coated Alumission profiles. Choose Stainless Steel when you prefer the natural silver appearance.
Yes. The Black and Stainless Steel variations are both $40.52 per pack of 100.
They are used to fasten compatible Alumission aluminum fence and gate components where a #8 × 1/2″ pan-head self-drilling screw is specified.
No. That heavier aluminum-post-to-steel-tube connection normally uses the separate #12 × 1″ self-drilling screws. Use these #8 × 1/2″ screws only where the smaller fastener is specified.
Use a #2 Phillips driver bit.
The integrated self-drilling point is designed to drill compatible material thicknesses and may eliminate a separate pilot hole. Pre-drilling may still be appropriate depending on thickness, coatings, tool speed, and job conditions.
The screw is #8 × 1/2″ with a 0.164″ thread diameter, 0.322″ head diameter, 0.115″ head height, and 0.175″ self-drilling point length.
Each package contains 100 screws in the selected finish.
Tighten until the pan head is seated and the connection is secure. Avoid overtightening, which can strip the aluminum or damage the connection.
