Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These Type A thread forming tapping screws are specifically engineered for sheet metal applications where reliable fastening is critical. The 18-8 stainless steel composition provides excellent resistance to corrosion and oxidation, making them ideal for outdoor equipment, HVAC systems, and electronic enclosures exposed to harsh conditions. The thread forming technology eliminates the need for separate tapping operations, reducing assembly time and labor costs while creating stronger threads that resist vibration loosening. With their right-hand threaded design and 11 TPI precision, these screws ensure consistent performance in materials up to 0.025" thickness, providing engineers with a dependable solution for thin-gauge metal fastening challenges across automotive, construction, and industrial manufacturing sectors.

Specification Summary & Compliance

These No. 12 x 1" tapping screws feature a 0.216" thread diameter with fully threaded construction and standard flat head profile. Manufactured to precise dimensional standards with Class 2A thread tolerances, they ensure consistent performance and interchangeability. The screws comply with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, meeting current environmental and safety standards for industrial components. The combination of thread forming Type A design and 82° countersink angle provides optimal performance in sheet metal applications requiring flush mounting and reliable fastening integrity.
