S-92470A340 Length 6" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with 18-8 stainless steel construction for long-lasting performance in harsh environments
• Efficient thread forming design creates strong, permanent threads in sheet metal without requiring pre-tapped holes
• Optimized for 0.2165" drill bits with precise diameter matching for clean installations and maximum material engagement
• Reliable Phillips drive system (No. 3 size) provides secure torque transmission and prevents cam-out during installation
• Right-hand threading with 10 TPI pitch ensures consistent engagement and superior holding power in metal applications
• Partially threaded shank design allows for precise clamping force control and reduced material stress
• Environmental compliance assurance with RoHS 3 and REACH regulations for safe, sustainable industrial use

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

Engineered specifically for sheet metal applications, these 18-8 stainless steel tapping screws deliver exceptional performance where corrosion resistance and structural integrity are paramount. The thread forming design eliminates the need for separate tapping operations, reducing installation time and labor costs while creating stronger, more reliable threads that resist vibration loosening. The Phillips pan head configuration provides a low-profile, secure fastening solution that distributes clamping force evenly across the workpiece surface. With partial threading and precise 10 TPI pitch, these screws minimize material deformation while maximizing pull-out strength, making them ideal for HVAC systems, electronic enclosures, automotive components, and industrial equipment where durable metal-to-metal fastening is critical.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This No. 14 x 6" tapping screw features a 0.242" thread diameter with 10 threads per inch and 4" thread length on a partially threaded shank. The standard pan head profile measures 0.476" in diameter with 0.169" height, accommodating No. 3 Phillips drive. Manufactured to thread forming standards (Type A/AB) for sheet metal applications, this fastener is fully compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations, ensuring safe use across industrial sectors.
