S-90065A335 Length 5" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with 18-8 stainless steel construction for long-lasting performance in harsh industrial environments
• Efficient thread forming technology creates strong, permanent threads in sheet metal without chips or debris
• Optimal countersinking capability with 82° flat head profile for flush, professional finishes in metal assemblies
• Enhanced driving stability through Phillips No. 3 drive that resists cam-out during high-torque installation
• Maximum thread engagement with full-length threading and 10 TPI design for superior holding power in thin materials
• Precision drilling compatibility with 0.2165" drill bit size recommendation for accurate, clean hole preparation
• Regulatory compliance assurance meeting RoHS 3 and REACH standards for environmentally responsible manufacturing

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These 18-8 stainless steel tapping screws are engineered specifically for demanding sheet metal applications where corrosion resistance and structural integrity are paramount. The thread forming Type A design eliminates the need for pre-tapped holes while creating stronger, more reliable threads through material displacement rather than cutting. This prevents metal shavings from contaminating sensitive equipment and ensures vibration-resistant fastening in thin-gauge materials up to 0.025" thickness. The Phillips flat head configuration with standard profile provides a clean, flush finish that meets aesthetic requirements while the fully threaded shank maximizes pull-out resistance. Ideal for HVAC systems, electronic enclosures, and industrial machinery where durable metal fastening solutions must withstand environmental exposure and mechanical stress.

Specification Summary & Compliance

These No. 14 x 5" tapping screws feature a 0.242" thread diameter with 10 threads per inch in right-hand orientation, manufactured to standard inch system specifications. The flat head design incorporates an 82° countersink angle compatible with standard tooling, while the Phillips No. 3 drive ensures common tool compatibility. Manufactured in compliance with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, these screws meet international environmental standards for industrial applications. The thread forming Type A tapping method follows established industry practices for sheet metal fastening applications.
