Specs
- Dimensions: Diameter: #8; Length: 2-1/2 inches
- Finish: Zinc-plated with baked-on enamel coating
- Drive type: 6-Lobe Drive

Features
- Bulk packaging: 1500 count bulk pack for bulk inventory and fast replenishment on production lines.
- Self-tapping performance: The screw forms its own threads in sheet metal, enabling fast, low-distortion assemblies without pre-drilling for standard gauge materials.
- Drive integrity: 6-Lobe Drive provides high torque transfer with reduced cam-out, improving installation reliability in automated or manual fastening operations.
- Head design: Pan head distributes load over a broad bearing surface to resist pull-out and provide a clean, finished appearance on metal panels.
- Corrosion resistance: Zinc plating with baked-on enamel coating delivers durable corrosion protection for interior or sheltered environments.
- Ideal use cases: Suitable for electrical enclosures, metal chassis, control panels, HVAC duct fittings, and equipment housings where quick, secure metal fastening is required.
- Installation tips: For best results, use appropriate driver and apply steady torque; in thicker materials or through multiple layers, consider pilot holes or thickness-specific guidelines.
