Engineered for both seasoned professionals and capable DIYers, the Daggerz SelfDrilling Cement Board Screw with DaggerGuard coating offers fast install, strong hold and superior corrosion protection. Secure cement board to metal framing with confidence.

Key Features

• Selfdrilling tip: The #2 drill point removes the need for predrilling into metal framing.
• Wafer head with nibs: Countersinks cleanly into cement board for a flush finish.
• DaggerGuard coating: Proven to pass 1,000hour saltspray testing for enhanced corrosion resistance.
• Versatile metal framing support: Suitable for metal substrate thicknesses approx. 0.033 to 0.112.
• Bulk ready packaging: Largequantity packs make this ideal for job sites or highvolume installs.

Applications

• Securing cement board to lightgauge metal framing in tile, veneer or stucco wall systems.
• Exterior installations such as rainscreens or stucco over metal lath – where corrosion resistance and fast install are critical.
• Interior wetarea walls using metal framing and cement board backing (e.g., showers, locker rooms).
• Both commercial and residential construction contexts where easeofinstall and durability go hand in hand.

Installation

1. Choose the correct length and diameter option to match your cement board thickness and metal framing gauge.
2. Use a #2 Phillips driver bit in your drilldriver or screw gun.
3. Align the screw perpendicular through the cement board into the metal substrate, then drive until the wafer head is flush.
4. Maintain firm pressure and steady speed so the selfdrilling point penetrates the metal substrate cleanly – avoid overtorquing.
5. Reference cement board manufacturers guidelines for screw pattern and spacing; ensure your metal framing is within the supported thickness range (0.0330.112).
6. For exterior or highmoisture installations, confirm full system compatibility; the DaggerGuard finish improves corrosion resistance, but the system should still be properly designed for durability.
