S-90315A442 Length 2" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with 18-8 stainless steel construction, ideal for harsh environments and long-term reliability.
• Efficient thread forming design creates strong, permanent threads in sheet metal without pre-tapping, reducing installation time and tooling.
• Optimized for sheet metal applications with a maximum drilling thickness of 0.025", ensuring secure fastening in thin materials.
• Secure and flush installation thanks to the standard oval head and 82° countersink angle, providing a smooth finish and reduced snagging.
• Reliable drive engagement with a No. 2 Phillips drive, minimizing cam-out and allowing for high torque application.
• Full threading and pointed tip for easier starting and consistent grip along the entire 2" length, enhancing pull-out strength.
• Compliance with environmental regulations including RoHS 3 and REACH, ensuring safety and suitability for global markets.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 6 x 2" 18-8 stainless steel oval head tapping screws are engineered to address common challenges in sheet metal fabrication, such as material fatigue and corrosion. The thread forming (Type A/AB) design displaces metal to form durable internal threads, eliminating the need for separate tapping operations and reducing labor costs. Made from 18-8 stainless steel, they offer excellent resistance to rust and oxidation, making them ideal for outdoor, marine, or chemically exposed environments. The oval head with an 82° countersink angle ensures a flush fit, minimizing protrusion and improving aesthetic appeal in finished assemblies. Compatible with a No. 32 drill bit, these screws provide a precise fit for sheets up to 0.025" thick, ensuring reliable performance in HVAC, electronics enclosures, and automotive panels.

Specification Summary & Compliance
