Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This 18-8 stainless steel tapping screw delivers exceptional engineering value for sheet metal fabrication and assembly operations. The thread forming Type A design eliminates the need for pre-tapped holes, creating strong internal threads through material displacement rather than cutting. This prevents metal shavings from contaminating sensitive equipment while providing superior pull-out resistance. The Phillips flat head configuration with standard 82° countersink angle ensures flush mounting in thin gauge materials up to 0.025" thickness. Manufactured from corrosion-resistant 18-8 stainless steel, these screws maintain integrity in demanding environments including outdoor applications, chemical processing equipment, and marine components where moisture resistance is critical.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This No. 10-12 x 5/8" tapping screw features precise 0.19" thread diameter with 12 threads per inch and full threading along its length. The flat head design incorporates standard 82° countersink angle for proper seating in prepared holes. Manufactured to Type A thread forming specifications for sheet metal applications, requiring No. 21 drill bit (0.159" diameter) for proper installation. Fully compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations, ensuring safe use across industrial sectors.
