Neoprene Washer Screws for Gutters When They Help and When They Don’t
Share
The washer can help you get a more secure fit and can help reduce water intrusion at the fastener point when used correctly.
When neoprene washer screws are worth it
- Fastening where water sits or routinely backs up
- When you want an extra sealing surface under the head
- Crews that deal with driver slippage and want a more consistent bite
When they’re usually overkill
- Dry attachment points where the fastener isn’t in the water path
- If the real problem is bad pitch or bad sealing elsewhere
- If the crew isn’t installing consistently (washers don’t fix shortcuts)
Practical spec notes on this product
- Hi-hex (1/4") style head helps the driver stay seated and reduce slippage
- Available in 1,000 or 3,500 piece boxes

It seats better with a socket/driver and helps reduce slippage.
Do neoprene washers replace sealing the system correctly?
No. They help at the head, but pitch and seams still rule the job.
