Specs
- Dimensions: Diameter #4; Length 7/8″
- Drive type: Phillips
- Material grade: 18/8 Stainless Steel
Features
- Self tapping design: Cuts its own threads in thin sheet metal, eliminating need for pilot holes and accelerating installation in bulk runs.
- Head style: Oval head provides flush seating beneath countersink and reduces protrusion in finished assemblies.
- Drive compatibility: Phillips drive supports standard hand and power drivers, ensuring consistent torque and broad tool compatibility.
- Material and corrosion resistance: 18/8 Stainless Steel offers corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and outdoor environments; passivation enhances surface stability.
- Bulk packaging: 5,000 count per package.
- Use cases: HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, automotive trim, appliance assemblies, and metal fabrication applications requiring secure, flush fasteners.
- Benefits vs alternatives: Reduces installation steps by eliminating pilot holes in thin-sheet metal while delivering reliable thread engagement and vibration resistance.
- Installation tips: Use appropriate torque and driver bit; for thicker metal consider pre-drilling pilot holes or follow material gauge recommendations to minimize tearing and achieve optimal thread formation.
