Description
Type B Self Tapping Sheet Metal Screws with a Pan Head and Phillips Drive are engineered for fast, secure fastening into thin sheet metal. The #8 x 1-1/2 format uses a Black Oxide finish on Steel to provide durable tapping, corrosion resistance, and long term performance.
Specs
- Dimensions: Diameter #8; Length 1-1/2
- Finish: Black Oxide
- Drive type: Phillips
- Material: Steel
- Thread type: Self-tapping
Features
- Point geometry: Type B self tapping point designed to cut into sheet metal with minimal pre-drilling and to form threads as it is driven.
- Self tapping design: Enables rapid fastening by creating mating threads in thin metals, reducing installation time on assembly lines or field repairs.
- Pan head: Provides a broad bearing surface for even load distribution and improved holding power on metal substrates.
- Drive compatibility: Phillips drive supports widespread tooling availability and controlled torque to minimize cam-out during installation.
- Finish characteristics: Black oxide finish offers mild corrosion resistance and subdued appearance for indoor or protected environments.
- Ideal applications: Enclosures, electrical panels, appliance assemblies, HVAC sheet metal work, and metal bracket installations requiring reliable tapping fasteners.
- Material strengths: Steel substrate delivers high shear strength and robust performance under dynamic mounting scenarios.
