Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 14 zinc-plated steel tapping screws deliver exceptional performance in sheet metal fabrication and assembly operations. The thread forming design creates strong, permanent threads in parent material without generating chips, eliminating contamination risks in sensitive applications. The zinc-plated steel construction provides reliable corrosion protection for outdoor equipment, HVAC systems, and electrical enclosures. With fully threaded configuration and external hex/slotted drive, these screws offer versatile installation options while maintaining consistent clamping force across the entire fastener length. The flanged design distributes pressure evenly, preventing sheet metal distortion and ensuring leak-proof seals in critical joints.

Specification Summary & Compliance

These thread forming tapping screws feature a No. 14 size with 0.242" thread diameter and 10 TPI right-hand threading. Manufactured to A/AB screw type standards with Class 2A thread tolerances for consistent performance. Compatible with 5.5 mm (0.2165") drill bits for optimal hole preparation. The screws are fully compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring they meet current environmental and safety standards for industrial use worldwide.
