S-90064A744 Length 6" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Eliminates pre-drilling requirements with integrated drilling tip that penetrates up to 0.175" thickness in steel and sheet metal
• Superior corrosion resistance through zinc-plated steel construction for extended service life in industrial environments
• Enhanced driving efficiency with external hex drive design providing maximum torque transmission and slip resistance
• Secure fastening performance through thread forming technology that creates strong, vibration-resistant connections
• Distributed load bearing with flanged design that increases surface contact and prevents pull-through
• Full-length thread engagement ensuring consistent holding power along the entire 6" length
• Optimized for heavy-duty applications with No. 10-16 thread specification and BSD tapping screw design

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These heavy-duty tapping screws deliver exceptional value in steel and sheet metal fabrication where traditional fastening methods fall short. The zinc-plated steel construction provides essential corrosion protection while maintaining high tensile strength for demanding structural applications. The thread forming design eliminates the need for tapped holes, creating stronger threads by displacing material rather than removing it, resulting in superior resistance to vibration loosening. The No. 3 drilling tip with 1/4" length efficiently penetrates materials up to 0.175" thick, significantly reducing installation time and labor costs. The flanged hex head combines the torque capability of external drive with the load distribution of a washer, making these BSD tapping screws ideal for HVAC systems, metal framing, and industrial equipment assembly where reliability and speed are critical.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This No. 10-16 x 6" tapping screw features precision right-hand threads with approximately 16 threads per inch and fully threaded design for maximum engagement. The fastener meets industry standards for thread forming screws with BSD specification, ensuring consistent performance in steel and sheet metal applications. Manufacturing complies with relevant industrial fastening specifications, while the zinc-plated finish provides corrosion resistance meeting industry requirements for protective coatings. The dimensional accuracy includes 0.313" head width and 0.414" flange diameter for proper tool engagement and load distribution.
