Where can I get this screw?

[radhak]

I have exactly one of these, need a handful more.

The OD at the head is 1/2", and the total height is 3/4". The shank is 3/16".

I could live with these threads, or even narrower.

Of importance is the small lip on the head, as seen in the second pic :

I don't know what the exact size is, but it is a 'pan head' screw. McFeeley's probably has 'em.

I bought a box of similar ones at lowes recently, but I think they were just a bit smaller.

I bought a box of them at Menard's this weekend. They were called wafer head screws. They had them 3/8 to 1 3/4 long

Some places are calling them 'round washer head' screws.

I was jusat going to mention if you can't find that screw, you could use a regular sheetmetal screw with a washer

I looked at McFeely's and they call them washer head screws. Their wafer head screws have a large flat disc for a head.

Home Depot has them. The package I have calls them 'Truss Washer Lath Screw" mine aren't that snazzy gold color, just basic plated. I have also seen them at cabinet hardware suppliers where the threads are only at the end with a smooth shaft, easier to hold the cabinets to the wall that way.

what if nobody knew that ignorance was bliss?

'Truss Washer Lath Screw"

Those are the ones I got recently, Lath Screws. Couldn't remember the name of them. I used a bunch this last weekend on the lighting/heating for my doghouse.

You must spend a lot of time in there if your putting in lights and heat.

it's obvious the house isn't ours, it belongs to the dog and cats, they just let us live there as long as we feed them.....

Hehe, Heat lamps=2 birds, 1 stone

Still trying to figure out how to do the air conditioning for this summer too.

If you pet the dog it will wag it's tail, a nice breeze is as good as AC.

With 100+ degree summers, a nice breeze is still pretty hot.

I made a swamp cooler for their water several years ago using a large tub, a water pump, a 20" box fan and some blue air conditioning filter material. It will cool the water fairly well. Usually 15-20 degrees below ambient temp. I've been kicking around some ideas on a heat exchanger using the same water to cool thier new dogouse I made this last fall.

You seem to take care of your dogs.
You could put in radiant underfloor heat and pump the cool water through it to cool the floor where the dogs lay. Then duct the fan so the cool air from cooling the water is passed through the dog house.

the last time I saw 100 degrees I was preheating the oven.....
