• Precision flush installation with standard 82° flat head profile and Phillips No. 2 drive for clean, professional finishes
• Optimized thread engagement featuring 0.164" diameter with 15 TPI for secure fastening in materials up to 0.025" thickness
• Full-length threading ensures maximum grip strength and load distribution across the entire 3" length
• Regulatory compliance with RoHS 3 and REACH standards for environmentally responsible manufacturing and workplace safety
• Reduced installation complexity with pre-determined No. 29 drill bit size (0.136") for precise hole preparation

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These 18-8 stainless steel tapping screws deliver exceptional value in sheet metal fabrication and industrial assembly applications. The thread forming Type A design creates strong, permanent threads in pre-drilled holes without generating chips, eliminating contamination risks in sensitive environments. The Phillips flat head configuration with standard 82° countersink angle provides a flush surface finish critical for aerodynamic components, electrical enclosures, and machinery where protrusions are unacceptable. The combination of 0.164" thread diameter and 15 threads per inch optimizes pull-out strength while minimizing material stress in thin-gauge applications. These fully threaded screws maintain consistent clamping force across the entire engagement length, preventing loosening under vibration and thermal cycling common in industrial settings.

Specification Summary & Compliance

Manufactured to precise dimensional standards with right-hand threading and fully threaded configuration. The screws feature a 0.164" thread diameter with approximately 15 threads per inch and require a No. 29 drill bit (0.136") for proper installation. Compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations, ensuring safe usage across various industrial sectors. Designed specifically for sheet metal applications with maximum drilling thickness of 0.025".
