Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 8 Phillips flat head tapping screws are specifically engineered for demanding sheet metal applications where reliability and corrosion resistance are critical. The 316 stainless steel composition provides exceptional protection against chemical exposure and atmospheric corrosion, making these thread forming screws ideal for marine, chemical processing, and outdoor equipment applications. The flat head profile with standard 82° countersink angle ensures seamless flush mounting while the thread forming design eliminates the need for separate tapping operations, reducing installation time and labor costs. With 15 threads per inch and full threading along the entire 7/8" length, these fasteners deliver superior pull-out resistance and vibration-proof performance in thin-gauge materials.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This No. 8 tapping screw features a 0.164" thread diameter with 15 threads per inch and 7/8" overall length. The Phillips No. 2 drive ensures compatibility with standard industrial tools, while the standard flat head profile with 82° countersink angle provides optimal seating in prepared holes. Manufactured to precise dimensional standards for consistent performance, these screws are fully compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations, ensuring they meet the strictest international standards for hazardous substance restrictions.
