S-94155A113 Length 3/8" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with 18-8 stainless steel construction for long-lasting performance in harsh industrial environments
• Excellent thread-forming capability creates strong, permanent threads in sheet metal without requiring pre-tapped holes
• Maximum holding power achieved through fully threaded design that distributes load evenly across the entire fastener length
• Secure installation with square drive (No. 2) that prevents cam-out and provides positive torque transmission
• Optimized for sheet metal applications with pointed tip and specific thread design (15 TPI) for easy starting and reliable fastening
• Pan head design offers low-profile installation with good bearing surface for secure fastening
• Environmental compliance meets RoHS 3 and REACH regulations for safe use in regulated industries

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This No. 8-15 x 3/8" tapping screw is specifically engineered for demanding sheet metal applications where reliability and corrosion resistance are critical. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides exceptional durability against rust and chemical exposure, making it ideal for outdoor equipment, HVAC systems, and electronic enclosures. The thread forming technology (A/AB type) eliminates the need for separate tapping operations, reducing installation time and labor costs while creating strong, vibration-resistant connections. The fully threaded design ensures maximum grip length and pull-out resistance, while the pan head with square drive allows for efficient installation with standard tools. These metal fasteners solve common industry challenges of material fatigue, corrosion-induced failure, and installation inefficiency in sheet metal fabrication projects.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This tapping screw features precise inch system dimensions: No. 8 thread diameter (0.164"), 15 threads per inch, and 3/8" length. The thread forming design follows A/AB screw type standards with right-hand threading and fully threaded shank. Manufacturing complies with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring environmental safety and industrial compliance. The screw is optimized for use with No. 29 drill bit (0.136" diameter) in sheet metal applications up to 0.025" maximum drilling thickness.
