• Optimized for 0.076" drill compatibility simplifies installation with standard No. 48 drill bits
• Full threading and pointed tip provides maximum grip and easier penetration into materials
• Compliant with RoHS 3 and REACH regulations meets international environmental and safety standards
• Phillips drive with No. 1 size offers reliable torque transfer and reduced cam-out risk

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This No. 2 Phillips flat head tapping screw delivers exceptional performance in sheet metal applications where corrosion resistance and structural integrity are critical. The 18-8 stainless steel composition provides excellent durability against oxidation and chemical exposure, while the thread forming design creates secure, vibration-resistant connections without requiring pre-tapped holes. The 32 TPI thread pitch and fully threaded shank distribute load evenly across the fastener, preventing material deformation in thin-gauge metals up to 0.025" thickness. The standard flat head profile with 82° countersink angle sits flush with surfaces, eliminating protrusions in assemblies where space constraints or safety considerations are factors. These tapping screws are engineered to reduce installation time and improve joint reliability in HVAC systems, electronic enclosures, automotive components, and industrial equipment manufacturing.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This inch-system fastener features precision thread forming (Type A) design with 0.086" thread diameter and 32 TPI thread pitch. The flat head measures 0.162" diameter with 0.051" height, compatible with standard 82° countersink applications. Manufactured to industry standards for tapping screws, this product is fully compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring environmental safety and restricted substance adherence for global industrial applications.
