• Exceptional holding power with fully threaded design and thread forming technology, preventing loosening under vibration in sheet metal.
• Clean, flush finish with a standard flat head and 82° countersink angle, ideal for applications requiring a smooth surface.
• Reliable performance in materials up to 0.025" thick, providing consistent results in sheet metal fabrication.
• Wide compatibility with A/AB tapping screw standards, ensuring interchangeability and ease of sourcing.
• Compliance with global safety standards including RoHS 3 and REACH, guaranteeing safe use in regulated industries.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 8 x 3/4" Phillips flat head tapping screws are engineered to address common challenges in sheet metal applications, such as material splitting and poor thread retention. The nickel-plated steel material offers excellent resistance to rust and wear, extending service life in demanding conditions. With thread forming technology, the screws create strong, precise threads without generating chips, reducing the risk of contamination in electrical enclosures, HVAC systems, and automotive assemblies. The fully threaded design and 0.164" thread diameter ensure maximum grip across the entire length, providing reliable fastening in thin-gauge metals where vibration resistance is critical. This makes them a top choice for industrial and metalworking projects requiring secure, long-lasting connections.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This product adheres to standard inch measurements with a thread diameter of 0.164" and approximately 15 threads per inch, conforming to A/AB tapping screw standards for consistent performance. The flat head design features an 82° countersink angle for proper seating in prepared holes. It is fully compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring environmental safety and suitability for global industrial use.
