S-92525A814 Length 3/8" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Exceptional corrosion resistance with 316 stainless steel construction, ideal for harsh or humid industrial environments.
• Superior holding power in sheet metal due to the thread forming (Type B) design, which creates strong, reliable threads without pre-tapping.
• Efficient and secure installation enabled by the Phillips No. 2 drive, reducing cam-out and ensuring a tight fit.
• Optimized for standard No. 29 drill bits (0.136" diameter), simplifying the pre-drilling process and ensuring proper fit.
• Full 3/8" thread engagement provides maximum grip and load distribution across the entire fastened length.
• Compliant with major environmental regulations including RoHS 3 and REACH, ensuring safety and suitability for global industrial supply chains.
• Versatile pan head design offers a standard, low-profile finish suitable for a wide range of sheet metal fastening applications.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This No. 8 x 3/8" 316 Stainless Steel Phillips Pan Head Tapping Screw is engineered to solve critical challenges in sheet metal assembly. Its thread forming action displaces material to create a zero-clearance fit, eliminating the need for a pre-tapped hole and providing exceptional resistance to vibration loosening. The 18 TPI (Threads Per Inch) and blunt tip ensure precise alignment and easy starting. The Type B tapping screw is the industry standard for joining sheet metal sections, and when constructed from 316 stainless steel, it delivers unparalleled performance in corrosive environments, such as those found in marine, chemical processing, or outdoor equipment. This combination of material and design directly addresses the need for durable, long-lasting, and maintenance-free industrial fasteners.
