S-92470A173 Length 3/4" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with 18-8 stainless steel construction, ensuring long-lasting performance in harsh industrial environments.
• Effortless installation through thread forming design that creates strong, permanent threads in sheet metal without pre-tapping.
• Maximum driving efficiency with No. 2 Phillips drive, providing secure tool engagement and reducing cam-out risks.
• Complete material penetration thanks to fully threaded shank and pointed tip, delivering superior holding power in 0.025" maximum thickness materials.
• Reliable dimensional consistency with precise No. 7-16 thread specifications (0.151" diameter, 16 TPI) for uniform performance across applications.
• Enhanced workplace safety through compliance with RoHS 3 and REACH regulations, eliminating hazardous substances.
• Optimized head design with standard pan profile providing ample bearing surface while maintaining low profile clearance.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These 18-8 stainless steel tapping screws deliver exceptional value in sheet metal assembly applications where corrosion resistance and structural integrity are paramount. The thread forming design eliminates the need for separate tapping operations, significantly reducing installation time and labor costs while creating stronger thread engagement than cutting alternatives. The fully threaded configuration ensures maximum pull-out resistance across the entire fastener length, critical for thin-gauge materials. With their Phillips pan head design and precise No. 7-16 threading, these screws provide reliable fastening in HVAC systems, electronic enclosures, automotive components, and industrial equipment where vibration resistance and environmental durability are essential. The combination of stainless steel material and compliant surface treatment ensures performance in demanding conditions without compromising regulatory requirements.
