• Versatile 1-1/2" length accommodates various material thicknesses while maintaining structural integrity

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These 410 stainless steel tapping screws are engineered specifically for demanding sheet metal applications where corrosion resistance and structural integrity are paramount. The thread-forming needle point design eliminates the need for pre-tapped holes, creating precise mating threads that significantly reduce installation time while providing exceptional pull-out resistance. The flanged hex head configuration combines the torque capability of an external hex drive with the load distribution benefits of an integrated washer, preventing material deformation and maintaining seal integrity in thin-gauge metals. With full threading along the entire 1-1/2" length, these screws deliver uniform stress distribution and maximum engagement depth, making them ideal for HVAC systems, electronic enclosures, automotive panels, and industrial equipment where vibration resistance and long-term reliability are critical requirements.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This No. 10-12 thread forming screw features precise inch system measurements with a 1/4" hex head width and 0.142" head height for standardized tool compatibility. The fully threaded right-hand design with 12 threads per inch ensures consistent engagement while the 0.19" thread diameter and pointed tip facilitate smooth penetration. Manufactured to industry standards for tapping screws, these fasteners are compatible with No. 21 drill bits (0.159" diameter) and suitable for maximum drilling thickness of 0.05" in sheet metal applications. The 410 stainless steel composition provides inherent corrosion resistance and meets industrial requirements for durability in challenging environments.
