S-92650A213 Length 2" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with 410 Stainless Steel construction for long-lasting performance in harsh environments
• Enhanced holding power through thread forming design that creates stronger, more permanent connections in sheet metal
• Maximum torque transmission with external hex drive design for secure installation and removal
• Consistent fastening performance with fully threaded shank ensuring uniform grip along the entire length
• Efficient installation with pointed needle tip that starts easily and reduces material displacement
• Increased stability from integrated flange design that distributes load and prevents pull-through
• Optimized for sheet metal applications with precise thread pitch (12 TPI) for secure fastening in thin materials

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These 410 Stainless Steel flanged hex head tapping screws deliver exceptional engineering value in demanding sheet metal applications where corrosion resistance and vibration resistance are critical. The thread forming design eliminates the need for separate tapping operations while creating stronger, more reliable threads that won't strip under stress. The external hex drive provides superior torque transmission compared to other drive types, ensuring secure installation even in high-torque scenarios. The fully threaded shank with precise 12 TPI spacing offers consistent holding power throughout the fastener's length, making them ideal for HVAC systems, electrical enclosures, and industrial equipment where metal fasteners must maintain integrity under thermal cycling and mechanical loads. The integrated flange eliminates the need for separate washers, streamlining installation while providing superior load distribution.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This No. 10-12 x 2" tapping screw features right-hand threads with standard inch measurements and is manufactured to industry specifications for thread forming screws. The fastener requires a No. 21 drill bit (0.159" diameter) for proper installation in materials up to 0.05" thickness. Manufactured from 410 Stainless Steel for corrosion resistance, these screws comply with relevant industrial standards for self-tapping screws and are suitable for applications requiring reliable, high-strength fastening solutions in sheet metal and similar materials.
