Features
- Self tapping capability enables thread formation in sheet metal during installation, reducing or eliminating the need for pre-drilled pilot holes on compatible gauges.
- Pan Head design provides a broad bearing surface to resist pull-through and distribute load across the joint.
- Phillips Drive offers widespread compatibility with common tooling and predictable torque transfer, minimizing cam-out in typical assembly conditions.
- Black Oxide Finish delivers modest corrosion protection and a uniform appearance, suitable for non-critical exterior or interior metal assemblies.
- Bulk Packaging: 5,000 screws per package supports high-volume production lines, bulk inventory management, and streamlined reordering.
- Applications: Ideal for metal enclosures, appliance housings, automotive interior panels, HVAC ductwork, and general sheet metal fabrication where quick, reliable fastening is required.
- Installation Considerations: For optimal performance, select a pilot or clearance hole appropriate to the sheet metal gauge and maintain proper torque to avoid thread stripping or binding.
