Overview
The 8 x 2-1/2 Mod Truss SDS Zn (54840) is designed for hardware fastening applications requiring a self-drilling screw in light gauge sheet metal and structural assemblies. Manufactured by Midwest Fastener Corp., this zinc-finished modified truss head self-drilling screw (SDS) eliminates the need for a pilot hole by incorporating a drill-shaped point that cuts directly through the substrate during installation.

Technical Features
- Drill-shaped self-drilling point: Cuts through the substrate on contact, eliminating the need for a separate pilot hole and reducing installation steps.
- Modified truss head profile: Provides a broad, low-profile bearing surface that distributes clamping load across a wider area, reducing pull-through risk in thinner materials.
- Zinc finish: Offers a corrosion-resistant coating suited for general indoor and sheltered outdoor applications.
- #8 x 2-1/2 in. dimensions: Delivers sufficient thread engagement and length for secure fastening through light gauge assemblies without over-penetration.
- Self-tapping thread form: Engages material as the point drills, forming its own mating thread for a secure mechanical connection without pre-tapping.
Applications
- Light gauge sheet metal fabrication and assembly
- Awning installation and frame attachment
- Door and window frame fastening
- Gutter installation and repair
- Shed construction and metal panel attachment
