Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This No. 14-14 thread forming tapping screw is engineered to address common challenges in sheet metal assembly, where vibration resistance, security, and corrosion prevention are critical. The 18-8 stainless steel material provides excellent durability against moisture and chemicals, reducing maintenance costs in industrial settings. Its T30 tamper-resistant Torx drive offers enhanced security for public fixtures, electrical enclosures, and machinery, deterring tampering while allowing high-torque installation. The AB type thread forming design creates strong, load-bearing threads in ductile materials without chips, minimizing failure risks. With a standard 82° countersink angle and fully threaded 5/8" length, it ensures flush mounting and uniform stress distribution, ideal for HVAC systems, automotive panels, and electronic chassis where precision and reliability are paramount.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This screw features a No. 14 size with 14 TPI right-hand threads and 0.242" thread diameter, adhering to standard inch measurements for consistent performance. The flat head design with an 82° countersink angle and fully threaded shank ensures precise fit in pre-drilled holes (No. 4 drill bit, 0.209" diameter). It complies with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, guaranteeing it is free of hazardous substances and suitable for global industrial applications requiring environmental and safety standards.
