Description
The [4000 BULK] Type AB Self Tapping Sheet Metal Screws with Pan Head and Phillips Drive are designed for secure fastening of thin gauge metal panels. Constructed from 18/8 Stainless Steel with a Black Oxide finish, these screws deliver reliable self tapping performance and corrosion resistance in standard fabrication environments.
Specs
- Dimensions: Thread size #8, Length 1 inch
- Finish: Black Oxide
- Drive type: Phillips
- Material grade: 18/8 Stainless Steel (304)
- Thread type: Type AB Self Tapping
Features
- Self tapping capability: Self-cutting threads form the mating thread in the host metal, enabling installation without pre-drilling for typical thin gauge sheets.
- Head style: Pan head provides a broad bearing surface for load distribution and compatibility with recessed or flush assemblies.
- Drive interface: Phillips drive offers widely available bit compatibility and predictable torque transfer with reduced cam-out in standard assembly tools.
- Material and finish: 18/8 Stainless Steel core delivers durable corrosion resistance, while Black Oxide finish adds a low-gloss appearance and supplementary environmental protection in moderate environments.
- Applications: Ideal for fastening thin gauge sheet metal in electrical enclosures, appliance housings, automotive trim, HVAC ducting, and cabinetry assemblies where corrosion resistance and reliable self tapping are required.
- Installation considerations: Ensure compatible sheet metal thickness falls within the self tapping capability and use appropriate torque to avoid thread galling or surface damage.
