Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These 18-8 stainless steel oval head tapping screws deliver exceptional engineering value in sheet metal fabrication and assembly operations. The thread forming technology creates permanent, vibration-resistant threads in materials up to 0.025" thick without requiring pre-drilled pilot holes, significantly streamlining production workflows. The fully threaded design and No. 12 screw size provide superior pull-out resistance in thin-gauge applications, while the Phillips drive style offers familiar, efficient installation for maintenance teams. The corrosion-resistant stainless steel construction ensures reliable performance in demanding environments, from electrical enclosures to HVAC systems, making these A/AB tapping screws ideal for both manufacturing and repair applications where durability and installation efficiency are critical.

Specification Summary & Compliance

These thread forming tapping screws feature precise No. 12 thread diameter with 11 threads per inch and 2-1/2" fully threaded length for consistent performance. Manufactured to A/AB tapping screw standards with standard oval head profile and right-hand threading. Compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations for environmental safety and industrial use requirements.
