This ST Fastening #12 x 5" InsulDrill Metal Roofing Screw is made for insulated metal roofing and siding installs where you need extra reach into the wood structure below.

Note: Choose screw length based on the combined thickness of the panel, insulation, and required wood embedment.
Tan 5" Self-Drilling Roofing Screw for Insulated Metal Panels
Designed to fasten steel panels and insulation to wood framing, this 5" screw uses a self-drilling point to speed up installs and a bonded sealing washer to help keep water out of the assembly.
Key Features
- 5" Length for Thick Assemblies: Built to reach through insulated roof systems and bite into wood framing.
- Color-Matched Tan Head: Helps maintain a uniform appearance on tan and brown-toned panels.
- #1 Self-Drilling Point: Reduces steps by drilling through metal panels without pre-drilling.
- G-90 Bonded Sealing Washer: Supports a tight seal to limit moisture intrusion around the fastener.
Common Applications
- Insulated Metal Roofing: Fastens panels through insulation into wood purlins.
- Post-Frame Buildings: Common for pole barns and large outbuildings.
- Residential Metal Roof Upgrades: Suitable when roof assemblies include added thickness.
- Metal Siding Over Framing: Attaches exterior steel panels to wood members.
- Panel Color Matching: Works well with tan or earth-tone metal roof systems.
Installation Tips
- Let the Tip Cut: Use steady pressure and allow the drill point to do the work through the metal.
- Seal, Don’t Crush: Tighten until the washer is snug and evenly compressed.
- Confirm Wood Bite: Make sure the screw fully engages a solid framing member, not just sheathing.
