Are both color options made from stainless steel?

Yes. Both Black and natural Stainless Steel variations use stainless steel base material. The difference is the visible finish.

Which finish should I choose?

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.

Do both finishes cost the same?

Yes. The Black and Stainless Steel variations are both $40.52 per pack of 100.

What are these screws used for?

They are used to fasten compatible Alumission aluminum fence and gate components where a #8 × 1/2″ pan-head self-drilling screw is specified.

Are these the screws used to attach an aluminum post to the 1-1/4″ steel inner tube?

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.

Do I need to drill a pilot hole?

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.

What are the screw dimensions?

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.

How many screws are included?

Each package contains 100 screws in the selected finish.

How tight should the screws be installed?

Tighten until the pan head is seated and the connection is secure. Avoid overtightening, which can strip the aluminum or damage the connection.
