U.S. Aluminum - Speed Screws, Gutter Hanger, 100/Count

Built to keep crews moving, U.S. Aluminum Speed Screws drive fast and hold tight in K-style gutter installs. Sized for 5" and 6" hangers, these corrosion-resistant fasteners bite cleanly into fascia/substrates and deliver a strong, long-lasting connection. The 100-count contractor pack keeps you stocked for continuous runs and consistent results across the job.

Features

Q: Which models do I use for 5" vs. 6" K-style hangers?
A: Use 5Q1/5QNC1 for 5" systems (1-1/2" length) and 6Q1/6QNC1 for 6" systems (3" length). “NC” variants are sized for no-clip hanger styles.

Q: Do I need to pre-drill fascia boards?
A: Usually no—the screws have a sharp, self-tapping point. For very hard or brittle substrates (e.g., old hardwood fascia), a small pilot can reduce split-out.

Q: What driver and head style do these use?
A: A 1/4" hex driver fits the hex-washer head for positive engagement and fewer cam-outs.

Q: Are they corrosion-resistant enough for wet or coastal climates?
A: Yes—the coated carbon-steel finish is weather-resistant. In harsh coastal zones, pair with compatible corrosion-resistant hangers and follow local best practices for longevity.
