Key Features & Benefits at a Glance
- Superior corrosion resistance with 316 stainless steel construction, ideal for harsh or humid environments.
- Efficient, self-tapping installation using thread forming technology that creates strong, permanent threads in sheet metal without pre-tapping.
- Optimal flush finishing with a standard 82° flat head profile that sits neatly countersunk in materials.
- Reliable drive engagement provided by the No. 1 Phillips drive, reducing cam-out risk for faster assembly.
- Maximum grip and holding power from the fully threaded design and 32 TPI precision across the 3/8" length.
- Simplified hole preparation with compatibility for a standard No. 48 drill bit (0.076" diameter).
- Compliance with global environmental standards, including RoHS 3 and REACH, ensuring safe use in regulated industries.
Professional Applications & Engineering Value
These 316 stainless steel tapping screws are engineered to solve critical challenges in sheet metal fabrication and assembly. The thread forming design displaces material rather than cutting it, which work-hardens the surrounding metal and creates a vibration-resistant, leak-proof connection with superior pull-out strength. This is vital for thin-gauge applications, where the maximum drilling thickness of 0.025" is a key consideration. The combination of the flat head and Phillips drive allows for a clean, finished appearance while facilitating efficient installation with common tools. The high corrosion resistance of 316 stainless steel ensures long-term structural integrity and reliability in demanding environments, from electrical enclosures to HVAC systems, reducing maintenance and replacement costs.
Specification Summary & Compliance
This No. 2 screw features a 0.086" thread diameter with 32 threads per inch and a right-hand thread direction. The screw is fully threaded to a length of 3/8" and is designed for use with a No. 48 drill bit. Manufacturing and material compliance adhere to RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, confirming they are free of restricted hazardous substances for industrial safety.
