Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 14 x 2" zinc-plated steel tapping screws deliver exceptional value in sheet metal fabrication and assembly operations. The thread forming technology 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 design with No. 3 drive size ensures quick, secure installation with standard driving tools, making them ideal for high-volume production environments. The zinc-plated steel construction provides reliable corrosion protection, extending service life in industrial settings where environmental factors could compromise fastener integrity. These A/AB type tapping screws are engineered specifically for joining thin gauge materials up to 0.025" thickness, solving common challenges in HVAC, electrical enclosures, and automotive panel applications where traditional fastening methods may strip or damage the base material.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This thread forming sheet metal screw features precise dimensional specifications including 0.242" thread diameter, 10 threads per inch, and Class 2A thread tolerances for consistent performance. The manufacturing process adheres to industry standards for A/AB tapping screw types with right-hand threading and pointed tip for easy starting. Regulatory compliance includes full conformance with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) requirements, ensuring environmental responsibility and material safety in global supply chains. The screws are designed for use with 5.5 mm (0.2165") drill bits and maintain consistent performance across the specified 2" length with fully threaded shank configuration.
