Description
Type AB Self Tapping Sheet Metal Screws provide reliable fastening for sheet metal assemblies. The pan head with Phillips drive supports flush seating and consistent torque when fastening into thin-gauge steel, while a Zinc & Bake finish delivers durable corrosion resistance.
Specs
- Diameter: No. 8
- Length: 1-1/8 inch
- Drive type: Phillips
- Finish: Zinc & Bake
- Material: Steel
- Thread type: Self tapping
Features
- Self tapping capability: Inserts its own mating threads in compatible sheet metal, enabling rapid assembly without pre-drilled pilot holes for standard gauge materials.
- Pan head geometry: Low-profile seating distributes clamping force while minimizing protrusion in enclosed assemblies.
- Phillips drive: Positive engagement with compatible drivers reduces cam-out and slippage during installation.
- Finish Zinc & Bake: Zinc plating with baked coating provides corrosion resistance for typical metal fastening applications.
- Material compatibility: Steel substrate suitable for ferrous metal applications, brackets, enclosures, and metal framework components.
- Use cases: Ideal for appliance panels, HVAC duct work, electrical enclosures, automotive trim, and chassis assemblies where self tapping capability is advantageous.
- Installation considerations: Use with appropriate driver and correct torque to avoid thread stripping; verify material thickness falls within standard self tapping guidelines for sheet metal screws.
