The Daggerz Phillips Modified Truss Wafer Head Screw is purpose-built for attaching metal lath to wood or light-gauge metal studs, making it a go-to fastener for stucco, plaster, or EIFS installations. Its wide, low-profile head delivers excellent holding power without tearing through thin materials.

Equipped with a phillips drive and sharp Type 17 point, this screw penetrates cleanly into wood and even light-gauge metal - no pre-drilling required. The zinc finish adds a layer of corrosion resistance for indoor and dry-environment applications, while the truss-style head sits flush against the lath, preventing snagging or deformation.

Whether you're reinforcing a wall system or securing base layers for exterior finishes, these screws offer the grip and precision to get the job done right.

Key Features:

• Modified Truss Wafer Head: Extra-wide bearing surface to prevent material pull-through.
• Phillips Drive: Provides easy bit engagement and reduces stripping.
• Sharp Point: Fast starts in wood or light-gauge metal with no pilot hole required.
• Zinc Finish: Ideal for interior or dry environment use with basic corrosion resistance.
• Designed for Lath Installations: Perfect for securing metal lath to wood or steel studs in stucco and plaster systems.

Applications:

• Securing metal lath for stucco or EIFS wall systems
• Attaching wire mesh or thin sheet metal to wood or metal framing
• Residential or commercial wall prep for plaster or masonry coating
• Interior or sheltered exterior construction requiring a flat, flush hold

Installation Tips:

• Use a standard phillips driver for clean, accurate starts
• Drive until the head is snug against the lath—avoid overdriving
• Works best with 20- to 25-gauge steel studs and standard wood framing
• Ensure proper spacing per code when used in wall prep applications
