Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These 316 stainless steel tapping screws deliver exceptional performance in sheet metal applications where corrosion resistance and structural integrity are paramount. The thread forming design eliminates the need for tapping operations, creating strong, reliable threads that resist vibration loosening in thin-gauge materials. The Phillips oval head combines aesthetic appeal with functional design, sitting flush with surfaces while providing ample drive torque. Engineered for industrial fastening in HVAC systems, electronic enclosures, and metal fabrication, these screws maintain their mechanical properties even in chemically aggressive environments. The precise 24 TPI threading and No. 44 drill bit specification ensure consistent performance across production runs, reducing assembly errors and improving manufacturing efficiency.

Specification Summary & Compliance

These No. 4 x 3/8" tapping screws feature standard Class 2A thread tolerances with A/AB tapping screw type specifications. The fully threaded design with 24 threads per inch precision ensures reliable performance in sheet metal applications requiring No. 44 drill bit (0.086" diameter) preparation. Manufacturing complies with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, confirming adherence to international environmental and safety standards for industrial components.
