Specs
- Dimensions: Diameter: #8; Length: 1 inch
- Thread type: Self-tapping
- Drive type: Phillips
- Material grade: 18/8 Stainless Steel (304 equivalent)
Features
- Self-tapping thread form: Creates mating threads in sheet metal during installation, enabling faster assembly with reduced pre-drilling for compatible gauge ranges.
- Pan head design: Broad bearing surface distributes load and provides a flush finish in panel assemblies, minimizing pull-through on thin sheets.
- Phillips drive: Cross recess provides reliable torque transfer and improved driver alignment, reducing cam-out in typical power tools.
- Corrosion resistance: 18/8 Stainless Steel offers good rust and stain resistance in indoor and outdoor environments, extending service life in most installations.
- Applications: Suitable for HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, metal cabinetry, and automotive trim where quick, secure metal fastening is required.
- Installation guidance: For optimal thread engagement, ensure pilot hole is appropriate for sheet metal gauge and thickness; apply proper driving torque to avoid thread stripping.
