• Flush installation achieved through the undercut flat head profile and 82° countersink angle for smooth surface finishes
• Enhanced driving efficiency with No. 1 Phillips drive that minimizes cam-out and provides reliable installation torque
• Maximum holding power through fully threaded design with 32 TPI for superior grip and vibration resistance in thin materials
• Optimized for thin sheet applications with 0.025" maximum drilling thickness capability and pointed tip for easy starting
• Environmental compliance assurance meeting RoHS 3 and REACH regulations for safe use in various industrial applications

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 2 18-8 stainless steel flat head Phillips tapping screws deliver exceptional engineering value in sheet metal applications where corrosion resistance and reliable fastening are critical. The thread forming design eliminates the need for pre-tapped holes, reducing installation time and labor costs while creating strong, permanent threads that resist loosening under vibration. The undercut flat head with 82° countersink angle ensures flush mounting without protrusions, essential for applications requiring smooth surfaces or where clearance is limited. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, these screws maintain integrity in humid, chemical, or outdoor environments, making them ideal for HVAC systems, electronic enclosures, automotive components, and industrial equipment where durability and compliance with environmental regulations are paramount.

Specification Summary & Compliance

These inch-system tapping screws feature precise dimensional specifications including 0.086" thread diameter, 3/16" length, and 32 TPI thread pitch with right-hand threading. The AB type thread forming design follows industry standards for self-tapping applications in sheet metal. Compliance includes RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring environmental safety and restricted substance adherence. Installation requires No. 48 drill bit (0.076" diameter) for proper hole preparation, with the pointed tip and fully threaded design providing consistent performance across the specified 0.025" maximum drilling thickness range.
