S-90048A295 Length 7/8" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with zinc-plated steel construction, ensuring long-lasting performance in demanding industrial environments.
• Efficient, secure fastening in sheet metal up to 0.025" thickness, reducing installation time and improving joint reliability.
• Clean thread formation with thread forming (Type A/AB) design, minimizing material stress and preventing cracking in thin metal sheets.
• Flush, professional finish thanks to the standard flat head with 82° countersink angle, ideal for applications requiring a smooth surface.
• High torque transmission from the Phillips No. 3 drive, allowing for secure driving and reduced cam-out during installation.
• Full-length threading for maximum grip and holding power along the entire 7/8" length, enhancing fastener stability.
• Compliance with environmental standards including RoHS 3 and REACH, ensuring safe use in regulated industries and global markets.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This No. 12 zinc-plated steel tapping screw is engineered to address common challenges in sheet metal fabrication, such as material splitting and weak thread retention. The thread forming technology creates strong, precise threads without cutting away material, which preserves the integrity of thin-gauge metals and provides excellent resistance to vibration loosening. The combination of a Phillips flat head and 82° countersink ensures a flush mount, reducing snag hazards and improving aesthetics in assemblies like HVAC ductwork, electronic enclosures, and automotive panels. Made from durable zinc-plated steel, it offers reliable performance in environments where corrosion could compromise fastener longevity, making it a trusted choice for industrial and metalworking applications.
