Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 8 x 1-1/4" tapping screws are specifically engineered to address common challenges in sheet metal assembly operations. The 410 stainless steel composition provides exceptional resistance to corrosion and oxidation, making these thread forming screws ideal for HVAC systems, electrical enclosures, and outdoor equipment where environmental exposure is a concern. The A/AB tapping screw type with right-hand threading creates strong, permanent threads in pre-drilled holes without generating metal chips, eliminating contamination risks in sensitive applications. The Phillips pan head design ensures flush installation and reliable drive engagement, while the fully threaded configuration maximizes pull-out resistance in thin-gauge materials. This combination of features significantly reduces installation time while providing vibration-resistant, durable fastening solutions for industrial manufacturing and construction projects.

Specification Summary & Compliance

These thread forming tapping screws feature precise 0.164" thread diameter with 15 threads per inch and standard Class 2A thread tolerances for consistent performance. The pan head style measures 0.322" in diameter with 0.115" height for optimal clamping force distribution. Manufactured to industry standards for A/AB tapping screw types, these fasteners are fully compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations, ensuring they meet the strictest requirements for hazardous substance restrictions in industrial applications worldwide.
