Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Exceptional corrosion resistance with 316 stainless steel construction, ideal for harsh environments and outdoor sheet metal applications.
• Superior holding power through thread forming technology, creating strong, vibration-resistant threads in pre-drilled holes without chips.
• Efficient and reliable installation with a No. 2 Phillips drive and fully threaded design for consistent engagement and faster driving.
• Optimized for sheet metal with a pointed tip and specific drill bit size (No. 21 / 0.159") for precise, clean starts and secure fastening up to 0.025" thickness.
• Durable and rounded pan head provides a low-profile, finished appearance and a larger bearing surface for increased clamp load.
• Compliance with stringent environmental standards, being RoHS 3 and REACH compliant, ensuring safety and regulatory acceptance for industrial use.
• Standardized inch dimensions (No. 10-12 x 5/8") ensure compatibility and easy replacement in existing assemblies and designs.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This 316 stainless steel tapping screw is engineered to solve critical challenges in sheet metal fabrication and assembly. Its thread forming design eliminates the risk of swarf and debris, producing clean, high-strength threads that resist loosening under vibration—a common failure point in machinery and enclosures. The Phillips pan head offers a secure drive and a low-profile finish, while the fully threaded shank ensures maximum grip length. Made from 316 stainless steel, it provides outstanding resistance to chemicals, saltwater, and industrial atmospheres, making it a reliable choice for HVAC systems, electrical cabinets, marine hardware, and food processing equipment where corrosion resistance and long-term durability are paramount.
