S-90064A732 Length 2" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with zinc-plated steel construction for extended service life in demanding environments
• Efficient installation through thread forming technology that creates strong, secure threads without chip removal
• Enhanced drilling capability with integrated No. 2 drill tip that penetrates up to 0.098" thickness in steel and sheet metal
• High torque application enabled by external hex head design for secure driving and reduced stripping risk
• Maximum material engagement through fully threaded design that distributes load evenly along the entire 2" length
• Improved load distribution with integrated flange that provides wider bearing surface and prevents pull-through
• Precise thread engagement with No. 8-18 thread specification ensuring reliable performance in industrial applications

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These zinc-plated steel tapping screws deliver exceptional value in steel and sheet metal applications where traditional fasteners fall short. The thread forming technology eliminates the need for pre-tapped holes while creating stronger thread engagement through material displacement rather than cutting. This BSD tapping screw design prevents metal chip accumulation in sensitive equipment and maintains structural integrity in thin materials. The combination of No. 2 drill tip and external hex drive streamlines installation in fabrication, construction, and industrial assembly operations, reducing labor time while providing superior holding power in materials up to 0.098" thick. The fully threaded configuration ensures maximum pull-out resistance across the entire fastener length.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This No. 8-18 x 2" tapping screw features precise 0.164" thread diameter with 18 threads per inch in right-hand orientation, manufactured to industry standards for dimensional accuracy. The thread forming design follows BSD specifications for reliable performance in steel and sheet metal substrates. The zinc-plated steel construction provides corrosion protection while maintaining mechanical strength. Compliant with industrial fastener specifications and suitable for professional construction and manufacturing applications requiring durable, high-performance fastening solutions.
