💡 Pro Tip: Use 7" screws when mounting through thick fascia boards (over 1-1/2") or installing heavy 6" gutters for maximum holding power.

🔧 Professional Installation Guide:

  1. Mark Hanger Locations: Space hangers 24" on center maximum
  2. Position Gutter Hanger: Align hanger against fascia board
  3. Use 1/4" Hex Driver: Install 7" screw through hanger
  4. Ensure Rafter Penetration: Screw must penetrate rafter tail for maximum holding power
  5. Tighten Securely: Avoid over-tightening to prevent stripping
  6. Verify Alignment: Check proper gutter slope and alignment
  7. Test Installation: Verify secure mounting and stability

❓ Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: When should I use 7" screws instead of shorter lengths?

A: Use 7" screws when mounting through thick fascia boards (over 1-1/2" thick), double trim applications, or when installing heavy 6" K-style gutters. The extended length ensures adequate penetration into solid backing material for maximum holding power.

Q: What makes #12 gauge better than lighter gauge screws?

A: #12 gauge screws are significantly stronger than #10 or #8 gauge options, providing superior shear strength and pull-out resistance. This heavier gauge prevents bending during installation and withstands the weight of water-filled gutters plus snow/ice loads.

Q: Do I need to pre-drill holes for these screws?

A: No pre-drilling is required for most applications. The self-drilling point penetrates wood fascia, composite trim, and even thin metal without pilot holes. However, for very hard woods or when driving near board edges, a small pilot hole may prevent splitting.

Q: What tools do I need to install these screws?

A: You'll need a 1/4" hex driver bit and either an impact driver or drill. Impact drivers are preferred for their superior torque and reduced cam-out. Magnetic hex bit holders work well to keep screws on the bit during overhead installation.

Q: How many screws do I need per gutter section?

A: For standard residential installations, space screws 24" apart along the gutter run. For 10-foot gutter sections, plan on 5-6 screws per section. Always add extra screws near downspout outlets and at corner miters.

Q: Can I pick up locally?

A: Yes! Same-day pickup available at Damascus, Oregon Monday-Friday 7am-4pm PT. Call (503) 496-7017 to place your order.
